Vice President Boediono on Thursday expressed support for Siami, a woman who was driven from her home after reporting systemic cheating at a Surabaya elementary school. She is a whistle-blower who later, in contradiction, becoming a "victim" of her own blowing.
Our Vice President stated on his official Twitter account @boediono that “Honesty, solidarity and togetherness are the sacred values which should not have contradicted one another,”. “Hopefully Ibu Siami's honesty can re-mingle with the solidarity and togetherness of the residents of Gadel.”. Well, the fact is just that Siami' neighborhood just cannot accept her report about systemic cheating on National Exams.
The mother of sixth-grader Alifah reported that her son's teachers had forced him to share the results of his National Examinations with his classmates at State Elementary School (SDN) No. 2 in Gadel subdistrict, Surabaya.
The scandal lead to the removal of the school's principal and its two teachers.
Angered parents reportedly intimidated Siami and her family, causing them to flee their home to live in Siami's hometown of Gresik, East Java. Those angered parents, who is also her neighboor said that Siami' report was not accepted and causing small thing became overrated. She accused as a day-dreaming hero.
Otherwise, Nation Education Minister Muhammad Nuh said students would not have to retake the national examinations because they had not found any evidence of cheating.
“We didn’t find identical answers between students, thus there’s no need to retake the exams,” he said. The result of the exams was not similar precisely. It was rumoured that Alifah didn't give his all correct answer and his clasmates also didn't believe the answer, they believed the answers that were circulated were wrong.
He added that although the cheating had been limited, there was no excuse for the public backlash against the family. “What we need to do is prevent the escalation of social tensions caused by the incident, specifically between the parents who reported the matter and the local community opposed to their decision,” Budiyono said. Ironically cheating become a habitual that were accepted by society as a normal deed. It is not only cheating matter, it is about cronical "social disease" that rooted in the society. So how is it Mr. Budiyono?
