         Hear demands from various parties regarding the removal of the UN, Muh Nuh was found, before there is any problem, doubt the UN has been widely voiced, but the important thing is the ministry has implemented appropriate academic foundation.

Unlike the previous opinion that expect the UN to be eliminated, the deputy minister of religion Nasarudin Umar argued that "If the UN abolished, even Indonesia will be faced with a number of difficulties, among others, can not map the ability of student to the results of the implementation of education during this time," Besides, he found with the removal of the UN, there will be disintegration in Indonesia, which is a condition in which the union would fall apart, in a sense, if the government abolished the UN then it is likely there will be a third-party who argued that the central government only noticed one area alone, resulting in social inequality . So he said that the abolition of the exam is not the right way, but all reform your system, because it was much needed.

        Pros and cons of it is already a matter of course, but if it is seen again on UN issues in Indonesia and is in fact on the first UN was already a lot of turmoil, because the implementation of the UN has been decorated with kecurang from both schools (teachers), students and even supervisors. Not only that, the exam inscribed and sealed confidential State still needs to be asked as secret, because it could happen somehow answer key selling because it is still in an envelope with the words a State secret and sealed?

Indeed, the UN is a way that can be used to measure the quality of the students, but what is it all true? That students can be measured from several exam not necessarily be answered honestly. When in fact it is clear in article 58 paragraph 1 of Law No. 20 of 2003 that "Evaluation of the study of students conducted by educators to monitor the process, progress, and improvement of learning outcomes of students on an ongoing basis". A statement clearly expecting pendidiklah (teacher) is supposed to monitor the students' learning process, in the sense of monitoring the quality of students.

         Indonesian education back into the spotlight. Ministry led by Mohammad Nuh was deemed to have failed the national exams held simultaneously. The main problem, printing and distribution of the exam is not finished until the deadline for implementation of the test. Cases like this should not happen. Because the budget and the execution time has been set in advance. Besides, the UN is an annual routine that became the mainstay of the government program to evaluate the success rate of teaching and learning activities (KBM). This is not the first time Kemendikbud into the public spotlight. Since the last few years, many people who have expressed criticism and rejection of the UN. However, Kemendikbud retains the implementation of UN.
