Few weeks earlier, shocking news emerged at LIBELS (short for SMAN 15 Surabaya) that the school would apply a fingerprint absence. of course it should be a normal thing, but the students still got surprised because the installation was done in front of the ad-dakwah mosque owned by SMAN 15 Surabaya. On the previous day, the students of SMAN 15 Surabaya were informed that fingerprint attendance would be installed in front of the mosque. they had been asked to scan their finger to put their data into the fingerprint absence. "actually the goal is good, so the students would directly go to the mosque for pray on time, not play first and then go to the mosque, because usually some boys still play basketball during prayer time" said hanan, one of the students. as usual, this policy has generated controversy among the students. There are some people who pros with the policy, and there are some people who contra with the policy. Pro students say that installing fingerprint absences is very good for all of us, because basiclly pray must be forced to the students. And it also can make students always discipline to pray on time every day. But, students who are not agree with this policy think differently about this. they think that pray should not to be forced but we need to do it by our self-awareness. especially the existence of punishment for those who do not pray on time felt rather excessive. the school also said that installing a fingerprint absent in front of the mosque was a good thing. In addition to the fact that SMAN 15 pioneered the absence of fingerprints, SMAN 15 also supports schools that are included in religious schools in Surabaya
