This study looks at how various stakeholders such as university representatives, senior high school teachers, and educational groups construct their own discourses on the issue of reforming of the College Admissions Process (CAP). The context is the implementation in 2019 of the 12-year Basic Education Curriculum. A crucial part of this curriculum reform concerns the selection process with regard to students' admission to universities, which needs to be changed in 2022. Here Fairclough's critical discourse analysis is applied as the means of inquiry, and the data are drawn from policy texts and news reports. In this study, our analysis focuses on the texts and discursive practices related to the CAP. Our findings indicate that the discourses related to the CAP fall into two major categories: that of meritocracy at the personal level and that of human capital at the state level. How stakeholders utilize various channels including print and visual media, as well as policy documents, to construct their preferred discourses is discussed in depth in this study. |
