UKK 2025-2026 Guidelines Overview
📌 The session introduced the guidelines for the Competency Skills Test (UKK) for the 2025-2026 academic year for Vocational High Schools (SMK).
🏛️ UKK is mandated by Law Number 20 of 2003 (National Education System) and Government Regulation Number 4 of 2022 to ensure graduates are job-ready and competent.
📜 Graduates receive two documents: a diploma (ijazah) and a competency certificate, proving their ability to perform specific jobs.

Implementation Patterns and Tools
🔄 There are three primary patterns for implementing the UKK: by the SMK in collaboration with LSPP1, LSPP2, or LSPP3, by partnering with the work world/professional associations, or as an Independent UKK (UKK Mandiri).
🛠️ Tools for Independent UKK include verification instruments for the test site, assessment sheets, knowledge test question blueprints (essay or multiple-choice), and practical assignment instruments resulting in goods or services.
🔗 The complete guidelines and assessment instruments are available for review at smk.indasmen.go.id/UKK.

Key Considerations for UKK Implementation
⚖️ For UKK conducted with industry partners or LSPs, results must be converted to a score range of 75–100 for competency to contribute to report cards and diplomas.
🚨 For UKK Mandiri, the conversion score range for competency starts from 61–100, and the competency certificate must be co-signed by an authorized party from the educational institution and the industry partner for recognition.
🆘 A new clause addresses UKK execution during force majeure (disaster) conditions, offering scenarios such as rescheduling, location transfer, integration with PKL (Internship), phased testing, online testing, or portfolio-based assessment.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The primary foundation for maximizing UKK effectiveness is the involvement of the world of work (DUDI) to ensure standards meet industry expectations.
➡️ Students who have already achieved certification through a program (like the BNSP occupational scheme) do not need to repeat the UKK if the principles align, as confirmed by the presentation.
➡️ For LSPP1 collaborations, assessors should ideally be external to the school to uphold quality assurance, although exceptions may be considered for remote regions based on accessibility.
➡️ UKK results are crucial for quality mapping and policy formulation at the school level and must be reported to the Provincial/Regency Education Office and the Directorate of SMK.
