To catch a computer whiz
To catch a computer whiz
From Jayakarta
The pooled entrance examination to the state-run universities
has ended. However, the problem of "jockeys", in which abler
students illicitly take the seats of actual high-school graduate
applicants in the examination (presumably to increase the
likelihood of passing), has apparently not been solved.
Interestingly, the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology
(ITB) has reported the most cases of jockeying for years. How
come? Minister of Education and Culture Wardiman Djojonegoro
himself had reportedly thrown up his hands from trying to
overcome the problem.
Here I would like to point out that most likely it was because
more and more students at the famed ITB have become computer
whizzes. If I am right I would recommend that to catch these
jockeys a special computer program has to be applied. Why not
send the ITB teachers who ought to be brighter in computer
matters than these mere-student jockeys to the job?
The Ministry can surely do that?
