The Head of BPMP\nDIY, Mohammad Adi Hartono, conveyed that overall, the TKA in Bantul\nRegency proceeded well with relatively minimal obstacles. \u201cOverall, the\nTKA implementation in Bantul Regency went well. The obstacles that arose\nwere generally related to electricity and internet networks, but they\nhave been anticipated with provisions such as backup generators,\u201d he\nsaid in a written statement in Jakarta on Wednesday. He explained that\nthe Academic Ability Test (TKA) in Bantul Regency was participated in by\n399 educational units (366 Primary Schools and 33 Madrasah Ibtidaiyah)\nwith 12,663 student participants out of the total target of students at\nthe primary school\/MI\/equivalent level. Based on field monitoring\nresults, his side recorded that the implementation went well with\nsupport from cross-party coordination, although there were technical\nobstacles that could be anticipated quickly. In addition, he emphasised\nthe importance of updating educational data as the basis for policy\nplanning. He also highlighted the limitations of facilities and\ninfrastructure that remain a challenge in several educational units.\n\u201cThe availability of devices such as computers is still a challenge, so\nsome schools have to divide implementation sessions or utilise\nadditional devices,\u201d he said. On the same occasion, the Head of the\nBantul Regency Education, Youth, and Sports Office, Nugroho Eko\nSetyanto, affirmed that the TKA implementation is part of strengthening\nthe assessment system that has been prepared thoroughly. \u201cThis TKA\nimplementation is not a sudden activity, but has been designed to\nencourage children to have better learning abilities and inspiration,\u201d\nhe stated. He explained that before the TKA, educational units had\nexperience through the implementation of the Regional Education\nStandardisation Assessment (ASPD), which has now transformed into TKA\nand Regional TKA (TKA-D). Furthermore, he conveyed that the TKA results\nwill become an important part of the educational journey of the\nstudents.<\/p>",
