Sleman (MAN 3 Sleman) — Exciting news comes once again from MAN 3 Sleman. In the prestigious Indonesian Student Research Olympiad (OPSI) 2026, a total of ten student teams from MAN 3 Sleman have successfully passed the research proposal selection stage. This achievement reflects the madrasah’s strong commitment to fostering a culture of research and innovation among its students.
OPSI is a national competition organized by the National Achievement Center (Pusat Prestasi Nasional), serving as a platform for high school students to develop scientific, critical, and creative thinking skills through research activities. Participants are required not only to design research ideas but also to implement and systematically report their findings based on data.
According to the official announcement released on Monday (April 6, 2026), the ten teams from MAN 3 Sleman passed after undergoing administrative verification and substantive evaluation by a panel of judges. The selection process assessed multiple aspects, including originality of ideas, relevance of themes, research methodology, and potential societal impact.
This accomplishment was not achieved instantly. The students went through a long and rigorous process—from brainstorming ideas and group discussions to developing background frameworks and designing solid research methodologies.
The diverse research themes proposed by MAN 3 Sleman students reflect their awareness of current issues across science, social humanities, and applied technology. This aligns with OPSI’s mission to encourage young generations to produce innovative solutions to real-world problems.
The next stage will be the research implementation phase, running from April to August 2026. During this period, each team will carry out their proposed research and compile comprehensive reports to be re-evaluated for advancement to the final round.
The entire MAN 3 Sleman community humbly asks for prayers and support so that all ten teams may be granted ease, success, and the best possible outcomes in every stage ahead. Such support is expected to become a source of strength for the students as they strive to bring honor to their madrasah at the national level.
With this achievement, MAN 3 Sleman reaffirms its role as an institution that not only excels academically but also actively nurtures students’ potential in research and innovation. May this milestone be the gateway to even greater success in OPSI 2026. (nis)
