        "content": "<p>Jakarta, Kompas.com - Schools have traditionally been spaces of\ncompetition where students strive for high grades, pursue achievements,\nand climb the rankings. However, Primary and Secondary Education\nMinister Abdul Mu\u2019ti argues that school ranking systems could\npotentially fuel bullying within educational environments. This\nstatement has raised the question: is bullying in schools linked to the\nacademic competitiveness fostered in schools?<\/p>\n<p>National coordinator of the Indonesian education monitoring network\n(JPPI), Ubaid Matraji, believes bullying issues are not as simple as\nclassroom ranking. \u2018From what I know, rankings have been phased out for\na long time,\u2019 Ubaid told Kompas.com on Wednesday (27\/5\/2026).\nNevertheless, he noted that the competitive spirit leading to student\nlabels persists in the education system. \u2018Ranking systems assume all\nchildren have uniform starting points, interests, and intelligence. This\nis academic laziness in evaluating humanity,\u2019 he said. \u2018Measuring the\nintelligence of musicians, aspiring athletes, and future scientists with\na single tool then ranking them is a form of injustice,\u2019 he added.<\/p>",
