REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SENTANI -- The Jayapura's Head of Education Department, Alpius Toam, stated in Jayapura on Monday, that they will prioritize the national exam's logistics distribution to the remote areas, such as Demta, Taja and Yapsi.
As the national exam for high school students will be held on April 14 to 16, Alpius stressed that its logistics will be sent on April 12 to Demta, Taja and Yapsi areas, and then on April 13, to Nimboran Sub-district.
"Actually, the farthest area of Jayapura District is Airu, but since this area does not hold the national exam for elementary school, we remove it from the logistics distribution's target," noted Alpius.
After the national exam for the high school students, there will be national exam for junior high school on May 5 to 8, and elementary school on May 19-21.
"While for Sentani areas, which are closer to the city, the distribution will be sent on time during exams to avoid allegations and suspicions of leakage," Alpius explained.
Alpius added that his team is ready to distribute the national exam's logistics to all districts in Jayapura areas, which hold exams, as soon as the provincial education department of Papua received the stuff.
One the national exams logistic are distributed to those remote areas, the packages will be deposited to the police until the exam next day begins.
"On the exam day, the police and invigilators from some universities in Papua will distribute the package to each school which holds the exam," Alpius explained.
Alpius noted that the national exam for this year will need a lot of attention and concern from all sides for its logistics distribution, as the schedule coincides with post-legislative elections in April and before the presidential election in July.
