Dewan Pendidikan: Hadapi TKA, Siswa tak Perlu Dipaksakan Ikut Bimbel
Dewan Pendidikan Nasional mengingatkan orang tua agar tidak memaksakan anak mengikuti bimbingan belajar (bimbel) untuk menghadapi Tes Kemampuan Akademik (TKA), karena TKA bukan penentu kelulusan melainkan sekadar pemetaan capaian akademik. Ketua Dewan Pendidikan Nasional Suyanto menilai antrean panjang di bimbel mencerminkan ketimpangan aspirasi pendidikan masyarakat dengan keterbatasan layanan sekolah, sehingga sekolah harus fokus pada kurikulum holistik termasuk penguatan karakter, sementara orang tua cukup hadir sebagai mitra belajar di rumah. Menteri Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah Abdul Mu'ti juga mengimbau hal serupa, menekankan bahwa materi di sekolah formal sudah cukup dan yang utama adalah memotivasi semangat belajar anak.
