Jakarta, April 28–30, 2025 – SEAMEO CECCEP Director, Prof. Vina Adriany, M.Ed., Ph.D., attended the 2025 National Consolidation of Primary and Secondary Education organized by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen). The event aimed to strengthen coordination in preparation for the new academic year and the rollout of several new educational policies. A total of 921 participants, including education stakeholders from both central and regional levels, development partners, private sector representatives, and members of the education community, took part in the event.
The program was officially opened by Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Prof. Abdul Mu’ti, and Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Praktikno. In his remarks, Minister Abdul Mu’ti emphasized the importance of multi-sectoral support to achieve the goals of national education. He expressed hope that this consolidation would mark the beginning of stronger collaboration and synergy toward realizing the Ministry’s vision of Quality Education for All.
Two main topics were discussed during the event. The first was the readiness of schools to implement SPMB (Student Admission Selection System) for the upcoming student intake. The second focused on the planned implementation of the Academic Ability Test (TKA), which will replace the former National Exam. This move aims to provide clarity and assurance, particularly for overseas education institutions, regarding students’ academic capabilities and their alignment with selected study programs.
The Minister also reiterated that education is a fundamental asset in meeting future challenges. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that every Indonesian child receives a high-quality education, enabling them to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing global environment.
