Abstract
This research is aimed at examining the reasons underlying the variety of discourse in shaping social perceptions of the importance of the implementation of national examinations which are applied as national education standards. The study was carried out through a sociological approach to education, making it possible to make observations into social situations related to the development of Education. This study found that the component of the national examination became a junction in its implementation. This applies because of several factors that underlie the emergence of the national exam quality policy namely, first; educational competency that contains a variety of materials, values, and so on as if ruled out in the implementation of the national exam because in practice it contains some material that is classified as material tested. Second, there is a graduation rate standard that must be pursued in order to be passed without regard to the ethics and morals that are conceived in the nature of national education.
