context_page_description: The KSN, previously OSN is a science competition for Indonesian students held by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This competition consists some competitions for elementary school students, junior high school students, and senior high school students.
  The competition pits students from the thirty-four provinces of Indonesia, and winners of the competition are further selected to represent Indonesia in their respective subjects' International Science Olympiad. In addition, Indonesian public universities are required to accept medal-winners of the competition into their undergraduate programmes.
  It was initiated in 2002 when Indonesia first became host of the International Physics Olympiad. The first ever national-stage competition was held in Yogyakarta, and in 2003 it was held in Balikpapan with improved rules and procedures.
  In 2020, as the new Minister of Education Nadiem Makarim takes office, he creates a brand new governmental agency called ‘Pusat Prestasi Nasional’ to hold this olympiad. Due to Indonesia’s 2032 Olympic bid, all competitions using ‘Olympiad’ in their names are changed into ‘Competition’.
