Bandar Lampung – The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Lampung Province conducted the Competency Test (Ukom) for Statisticians and Computer Administrators for Period I of 2026 in the BPS Lampung Province Hall on March 10, 2026. This activity was attended by participants from the Lampung Province BPS and other agencies that participated in the competency test process as part of the functional position promotion stage.
The activity began with an opening by the Head of the Lampung Province BPS, Ahmadriswan Nasution. In his remarks, he explained that the competency test is an important mechanism to ensure that functional officials have the appropriate skills for the position they will occupy.
“This competency test is part of the selection process for promotion to functional positions. Each level has competency standards that must be met by functional officials, both statisticians and computer administrators,” said Ahmadriswan Nasution in his opening remarks.
He also emphasized that the competencies assessed are not only related to technical abilities, but also managerial skills and understanding of organizational governance.
“You are not only required to be competent from a technical standpoint, but also from a managerial and organizational governance standpoint. This is important to ensure that the quality of human resources within BPS continues to improve,” he added.
On this occasion, Ahmadriswan also reminded participants that passing the competency test does not always directly correlate with a promotion, as it still depends on the available positions and quotas.
“The supply and demand for positions are not always the same. Even if participants pass the competency test, there are still quotas that must be taken into account in accordance with the needs of the organization,” he explained.
At the end of his remarks, he expressed his hope that all participants would take the competency test well and achieve the best results.
