The
Solutions to fix Indonesia' Educational System Problems
We believe education is the best way to make all countries
into a great country. We can exchange our life with education to be a good
life, rich and wealthy. Education is the way to make our generation a good
human resource that can be more effective in managing our natural resources.
The country can't be a rich country with prosperity and a smart society without
education. Good education system always creates a big country. Education is one
of the main drivers for our people's intellectual and professional development
and plays a rising role in supporting a stronger, more globally competitive
Indonesia. Education in Indonesia, however, still has several problems with
quality and access issues as well as the even distribution of well-trained
teachers, and any other problems.
Considering that Indonesia is a developing country and has
not that good education system, it is not a bad idea to follow the developed
countries' education system. in this case, that developed countries have a
correlation to fix Indonesia' educational system. one of the basic problems in
Indonesia's education system is zoning systems, this system somehow
"forces" the students to take a school that near to their home. The
students feel "forced" because their school doesn't provide good
facilities, in other words, the school is not prepared for this situation.
let's take a look at the country that right now is developing the revolution
industrial 5.0 while Indonesia somehow still moving from 3.0 to 4.0, the
country is Japan. Japan created a zoning system because they already prepared
enough to do that. Not only the teaching and learning process created with the
same standards, but the physical facilities of the building are the same. For
example, all schools have sports fields of the same size, all have swimming
pools, all have multi-purpose buildings, shoe lockers, bag lockers, study
tables, and chairs, same magnetic whiteboard, equally good toilet, and so on.
Another Indonesia's education problem is basically its low-quality teachers. It
happens because the teacher selection is not difficult, imagine how many
low-quality teachers would be. if we look to Finlandia that has declared for
the best educational systems for years. Teachers in Finlandia have at least a
Master degree and at least earning 321 million rupiah per month in 2008. this
to reason is enough to convince anyone that Finland has one of the best
teachers in the world. the following are the fact in Finland educational
systems :
1.
Children in
Finland are not permitted to enter elementary school if they are not yet 7
years old.
2. Teachers have another method to
evaluate the students, not only with exams or assignments.
3. Unlike in Indonesia, in Finland children
are not measured from their first 6 years of education.
4. There is only one standard
compulsory test in Finland, which is when they are 16 years old.
5. all of the students study in the same class either they are smart or not.
6. 30 percent of children in Finland receive a 9-year
scholarship for school.
7. 66 percent of children in Finland receive an education
until college.
8. Science classes in Finland have a maximum of 16
students so they can practice and do research in an effective way.
9. Elementary students have 75 minutes of rest a day.
10. School fees are 100 percent state-funded.
