The Covert Crime in Educational Institution

April 2007, the national final examination will be held by our government in some schools, namely from primary school level to senior secondary level.
The success in doing the final examination is not only responsibility of student but also responsibility of teacher.
Moreover, the procedure of term graduation is too complicated, it will enable students and teacher to commit the covert crime in education which can denigrate the reputation of institution.
One of indication which happened in one of school in my city is additional administration for success of final examination.
2005/2006, that school was successful to pass 90,9 % it’s students. The school had dealt with Primagama. In fact, Primagama got the test of final examination, and then, it was sold to that school.
In anticipation final examination 2006/2007, that school asked for Rp 250.000,- from each student. The school and Primagama were dare to assure the success of students in doing final examination.Now, in my heart arise a question, how is our campus?
