Penyelenggara pendidikan nonformal dan informal mengeluhkan kurangnya perhatian pemerintah pada pelaksanaan ujian nasional (UN) pendidikan kesetaraan.
"Mengherankan, bertahun-tahun ujian paket kesetaraan selalu diremehkan bahkan oleh Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (BSNP) dan Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan selaku penyelenggara negara. Jika UN formal, kisi-kisi, prosedur operasional standar, dan peraturan menterinya sudah keluar sejak tahun lalu, tetapi UN Pendidikan Kesetaraan atau Program Paket, sampai sekarang pun belum jelas kapan akan dilaksanakan," kata Sekretaris Asosiasi Sekolah Rumah dan Pendidikan Alternatif (Asah Pena), Budi Trikorayanto, Minggu (25/3/2012), di Jakarta.
Peserta UN Pendidikan Kesetaraan meliputi anak-anak sekolah rumah, orang dewasa, siswa putus sekolah, hingga siswa yang tidak lulus UN formal.
Menurut Budi, untuk UN Pendidikan kesetaraan Paket A,B, dan C (setara SD, SMP, dan SMA/SMK) hanya ada berbagai perkiraan yang beredar. Kisi-kisi pun tidak ada.
Selain waktu penyelenggaraan yang tidak jelas setiap tahun, pengumuman kelulusan peserta juga lamban dan tidak sesuai jadwal. Kenyataan ini merugikan peserta.

Angry Birds Review
With more than 700 million downloads to its name, Angry Birds is as much a part of pop culture as the Big Mac, The Beatles, or Justin Bieber. But such popularity poses a problem: how to create a sequel that feels fresh, yet still appeals to avian aficionados around the world. For developer Rovio, the answer is gravity, or rather, the lack of it. Angry Birds Space takes the fundamental physics-based flinging of the original and turns it on its head--sometimes literally--by playing with the gravity simulation that powers it. You're forced to think in new, creative ways to solve puzzles, using the pull of planets to slingshot your birds over greater distances and at previously impossible angles. It's satisfying, yet completely familiar, and is heaps of pig-smashing fun.
The basics of Angry Birds remain unchanged in Space. You smash cute green pigs that have neatly placed themselves atop, or in, precarious-looking towers made of wood, steel, and ice. To do so, you're armed with birds, which you fire out of a slingshot by dragging your finger over the screen to pull it back in an effort to knock over the towers and crush the pigs within. It sounds simple, but there's a surprising amount of depth to the action. Different materials smash at different rates, so while wood is easily smashed with a single bird, steel requires several hits before you can smash through it.
Likewise, there are different types of birds for you to use. There's the standard red bird, which acts like a simple missile. The other feathered projectiles include blue birds, which act like cluster bombs; black birds, which explode with a tap; and green birds, whose hefty size makes them ideal for smashing through larger structures. New to Space are purple birds, which can be targeted like a homing missile with a tap, and ice birds, which let you freeze parts of a structure, making it easier to destroy. New birds are introduced gradually as you progress, creating interesting challenges that tax the brain in new and exciting ways. While your choice of birds is predetermined, the progression is excellent, so you never feel overwhelmed by a sudden influx of unfathomable avians.
The twist in Space comes from an inventive use of gravity. Rather than lounging on a simple surface, the pigs are spread across different planetoids in space. Each planetoid has its own gravity field, highlighted by a blue aura, which affects the movement of your birds. This results in some incredibly inventive and often challenging puzzles. You might have to use a planetoid's gravity field to curve the angle of your bird to reach pigs nested on the far side, or make use of two nearby fields to send a bird one way, only to have it join the other field and slingshot around to hit pigs floating outside the atmosphere.
