00:00For the SPM test in 2023, as many as 10,160 candidates were not present for the test.

00:10And if compared to the data or statistics in 2022,

00:17as many as 14,858 candidates were not present for the test.

00:25So we see a decrease of more than 4,700 compared to 2022.

00:37The KPM always knows the sources of non-present candidates.

00:42The test candidates are more detailed,

00:45so the focus can be taken.

00:48Based on the analysis from the KPM,

00:53among the sources of non-present are

00:561. Employees 2. School stoppers

01:003. Family problems 4. School transfer

01:035. Illnesses 6. Other factors

01:06Indeed, the KPM has made an analysis of the factors

01:12so that we are able to carry out the intervention.

01:15In connection with that, the KPM in its current action

01:19has designed an intervention plan

01:21and implemented measures against non-present programs.

01:25We have non-present intervention programs,

01:28but what I state here are the current programs.

01:321. Implementation of special powers

01:35to prevent the presence of SPM candidates in 2024-2025.

01:412. Ability to use psychometric interpretation

01:45to gather information on psychological threats

01:48from the point of view of the candidate and the soul

01:50to help the candidate recognize their personality

01:55and make decisions based on their own abilities.

01:583. Implementation of the SPM Preparation Program

02:03through initiatives such as the School Stopper Program, etc.

02:084. Implementation of focus activities

02:11such as charity visits by PIPG, PIPKS

02:15and other groups.

02:17Recently, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance,

02:22the KPM and the Ministry of Finance have launched

02:26the Semarang Potensi Malaysia program

02:29which is also a focus for the SPM program in secondary schools.

02:37At the same time, we also have a system

02:44called the SPM Detection System

02:47through the E-Profile System for Student Success

02:50which we use to collect data on students after SPM.

02:58The KPM is confident that with the continued efforts

03:01and the commitment of all parties,

03:03we can ensure that this group is not directly affected

03:09by the education system.
