The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) has\nreopened registration for the 2026 Academic Competency Test (TKA) for\nsenior high school, vocational school, and Islamic senior high school\nstudents. Registration runs from 27 July to 27 September 2026, with the\nmain TKA scheduled for 26 October to 8 November 2026.<\/p>\n
The TKA is a nationally standardised instrument for measuring\nacademic achievement. Its results can be utilised as one of the\nconsiderations for selection into the next level of education, as well\nas a source of information on student learning outcomes.<\/p>\n
Head of the Education Assessment Centre, Rahmawati, stated that this\nyear\u2019s TKA implementation has been prepared with a longer lead time\ncompared to the previous year. \u201cThis year, we hope to be better and more\nprepared for the TKA registration preparation period because the\nimplementation timeline is longer,\u201d Rahmawati said on Tuesday, 28 July\n2026.<\/p>\n
According to Rahmawati, the 2026 TKA is a refinement of last year\u2019s\nimplementation. Various inputs from evaluation results have been used as\nthe basis for improvements in both policy and technical execution.<\/p>\n
Several changes have been applied to this year\u2019s administration.\nKemendikdasmen has arranged the schedule so that participants only work\non one compulsory subject per day. The working duration has also been\nextended to 75 minutes, giving participants more optimal time to\ncomplete the questions.<\/p>\n
For vocational school (SMK) participants specifically, the government\nhas increased the number of vocational subjects based on skill programme\nclusters to 50 subjects.<\/p>\n
Additionally, participants who still have residual data can still\nregister but are urged to promptly correct their data. Kemendikdasmen\nwill also strengthen TKA supervision through the involvement of more\nuniversities and integrate the TKA with the National Assessment (AN) to\nimprove efficiency and the quality of administration.<\/p>\n
Kemendikdasmen urges all prospective participants to ensure their\npersonal data is correct before registering. Information regarding\nrequirements, schedules, registration procedures, and other details can\nbe accessed via the official TKA website and the official channels of\nKemendikdasmen and the Education Assessment Centre.<\/p>\n
Head of the Primary and Secondary Education Policy Agency (BKPDM),\nToni Toharudin, said these various refinements are part of the\ngovernment\u2019s commitment to delivering assessments that are increasingly\nhigh-quality and have integrity.<\/p>\n
Toni stated that the various improvements in this year\u2019s TKA\nimplementation reflect Kemendikdasmen\u2019s commitment to continuously\nproviding assessments that are increasingly high-quality, have\nintegrity, and are in the best interests of students. \u201cWe invite all\nprospective participants to make the most of this opportunity by\npreparing themselves as well as possible and following all stages\naccording to the provisions,\u201d Toni said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/registration-for-senior-high-school-academic-competency-test-open-until-27-september-1785243456", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
