UN 2020 Canceled Due to Corona, Tissa Biani Reveals the Positive and Negative Sides

Kapanlagi.com - The outbreak of the corona virus has prompted President Jokowi to decide to abolish the National Examination (UN) in 2020. Of course, this has been widely discussed by high school students on social media. In fact, many express their joy through various memes.

One of the artists who also felt this is Tissa Biani. This 17-year-old artist admitted that the elimination of UN also affects her home schooling.

"Yes (it affects). Maybe people think it's just studying at home. But basically, home schooling is the same as regular school but with more flexible time. From home schooling, I also determined that there is no UN. Because it follows the education ministry. It will most likely be replaced with the usual Final Exam, UAS," said Tissa Biani when contacted by Kapanlagi.com via a short message, on Tuesday (24/3).

1. Positive and Negative Sides

The actors who starred in the film KKN di Desa Penari admitted that they felt both happy and sad about the cancellation of the national exams (UN). They revealed that there are positive and negative sides.

"Actually, I have two sides to my answer. There is a positive side, and there is also a negative side. On the negative side, I feel sad because I can't experience the national high school exams like other students. And because I have an older sibling who has graduated, they still remember what it feels like to take the high school exams. There must be something special missing if we don't do it. Usually, after going through three levels, there is a national exam, and now it feels like there's something special missing," said Tissa Biani.

"On the positive side, maybe I feel safer, feel more secure, because we can stay at home until this coronavirus pandemic is over. So, I just follow what the government says. I don't know their reasons, maybe they have good intentions. So, as a citizen and as a student who, God willing, is good, I should just follow the government's advice," she added.

2. Activities During Social Distancing

During social distancing, Tissa also admitted that she still takes the time to study. She said she has become accustomed to learning online.

"I am still studying from home, sometimes from my teachers, and I also like to discuss with my friends about the topics that need to be discussed. Because I have been homeschooled, this system, learning online, is not something unfamiliar to me anymore," she said.
