        "summary": "The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education highlights that the implementation of independent and collaborative Academic Ability Tests (TKA) at Community Learning Activity Centres (PKBM) represents an adaptive examination model tailored to participants' needs. This approach balances standardisation with flexibility to address PKBM's unique challenges, such as diverse age groups and work commitments, thereby enhancing the credibility of non-formal education graduates within Indonesia's national system. An example from PKBM Bina Cipta Ujungberung in Bandung achieved 100% attendance for Paket B exams held over a weekend, demonstrating effective adaptation to learners' schedules.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen) states that the organisation of independent and\ncollaborative Academic Ability Tests (TKA) at various Community Learning\nActivity Centres (PKBM) embodies an adaptive examination model suited to\nthe needs of participants.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of Secondary Education and Special Education at\nKemendikdasmen, Tatang Muttaqin, explained that the differences in\nimplementation models between independent and collaborative PKBM\ndemonstrate that TKA policies not only emphasise standardisation but\nalso provide room for adaptation for non-formal educational units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis approach is considered effective in addressing the specific\nchallenges of PKBM, such as age heterogeneity, work busyness, and\nlimitations in facilities and infrastructure,\u201d said Dirjen Tatang in\nJakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Tatang also emphasised that the increasingly orderly and structured\nimplementation of TKA marks an important shift in the non-formal\neducation evaluation system.<\/p>\n<p>If previously flexibility was the main characteristic, now the\nbalance between flexibility and standards is key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis strengthens the position of PKBM as an integral part of the\nnational education system,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>With increasingly mature implementation, Tatang said TKA not only\nfunctions as an evaluation tool but also as a strategic instrument to\nenhance the credibility of non-formal education graduates.<\/p>\n<p>The profile of independent TKA is evident at PKBM Bina Cipta\nUjungberung, Bandung, West Java.<\/p>\n<p>There, he explained, the TKA for Paket B (equivalent to junior high\nschool) held on 11\u201312 April 2026 proceeded smoothly with 100 per cent\nattendance.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that 26 learners participated in the exam in two\nsessions per day, covering numeracy, literacy, and learning environment\nsurveys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom far in advance, we have built commitment with the learners to\nattend every session. The exam was held on Saturday and Sunday due to\ntheir different characteristics; many work and have time constraints,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Santi, adjusting the schedule to the weekend is a\nstrategic step that remains aligned with national provisions but\nresponsive to learners\u2019 needs.<\/p>",
