One of the students' demands is to ask the school principal, Aliyuddin, to resign for trying to send five children with legal problems to SMAN 5 Sinjai.
Although Aliyuddin admitted that the details of the five children were not submitted to Dapodik by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the protesting students still demanded that the five teenagers not be registered as students at SMAN 5 Sinjai.
"It is impossible for me as a school principal to break the law because those who are currently detained in the Maros Regency Special Correctional Facility for Children are our students and these children must continue to exercise their right to the school they received," he said.
"Then you asked me to withdraw. It's not a demonstration that's going to stop me," he said as he ministered to students who were giving speeches. One of the student-turned-speakers also highlighted Aliyuddin's leadership as a principal. "Our school won futsal twice, but there is no money from the school.
We were told to find the funds for the exchange reason later. After the champion, the promised funds are gone. As well as other extracurricular activities that have not been active since the director took office," the student expressed his wish. In the session expressing the views and wishes of the students, many components are present at SMAN 5 Sinjai including Dandim 1424 Sinjai Letkol Inf. Sumardi, South Sulawesi Education Authority Branch Manager Bantaeng, Bulukumba, Sinjai, Syamsul Rijal, Binmas Sinjai Police Director AKP Fatahuddin, School Committee H.Idrus, A. Ariani Jalil from DP3AP2KB Sinjai, as well as the chairman of MKKS Sinjai and head of the education unit.
According to Carita Today, this is the second time SMAN 5 Sinjai students have demonstrated during Aliyuddin's tenure as principal. The first demonstration took place on Monday, October 22, 2018. The students then demanded the same thing, which was to ask Aliyuddin to resign because it was suspected that he was not transparent in managing the Eskul budget. Extracurricular activities include Nature Lovers, Boy Scouts, PMR, KIR, Basketball, Futsal, English, Spirituality and Journalism, according to students it is always difficult to get tuition fees.
