Debate Erupts Over Sharing Pirated Prep Materials from Costly Indonesian Cram SchoolNovember 22, 2025 5:39 PM Full SummaryProsus Inten, a cram school charging around $1,000 for exam prep classes since 1998, faces backlash as people share its materials online for free. Those who paid argue it devalues their investment in quality teaching and resources, while others see sharing as a way to help underprivileged students compete for limited spots at top public universities. The clash reveals tensions over education costs in a country where such fees strain many families, questioning whether access to prep should depend on wealth. Humor and memes mix in, but the core issue remains: balancing rights to materials with chances for equal opportunity. Key TakeawayA frustrated post called out leakers of pricey study materials, warning of a 'special place in hell' for them. It tapped into raw feelings about fairness in Indonesia's cutthroat university admissions. Context & EntitiesTopics
