Quality of education in Indonesia should continue to be evaluated and compared with other countries to ensure that the quality and quantity can be increased. The comparison is made to be a reference to improve the things which is a weakness of education in Indonesia until now. For example, compared the quality of education in Indonesia and neighboring countries are still in the region of Asia, such as India and Japan.
One country that will make us always want to progress when compared with the quality of education in Indonesia is India. The Indian government can provide huge subsidies in the field of education. As a comparison only, to an Indonesian student who went to the S-2 in India, the total costs and start to get a master's degree is only $ 600 (US 6 million). Which includes registration fee and tuition fee. Currency USD 6 million is because he is considered a foreign student who must pay higher prices. Indian citizens themselves, they only pay RP 40,000 for the S-2 courses a year. Compared with in Indonesia, for S-2 the same, one-semester course could spend USD 50 million. In addition, the Indian government also provides subsidies so that the price of paper books can be very cheap. Government of India to establish cooperation with foreign publishers such countries Penguin Books so they can print books in India.While foreign books will be cheaper. Compare with lovers of books in Indonesia have to pay hundreds of dollars just to buy some imported only books.
Other Asian countries that comparisons can be made is Japan. The Japanese experience in the field of education progress because its economy helped to promote the quality of education. However, Japan is still a very good to improve the quality of education in Indonesia mirror. William Cummings K argues that Japan to promote the educational success of a number of factors, namely concern for education comes from various parties, Japanese education costs, they are not expensive, there is no discrimination against a school in particular.
In addition, the curriculum in Japan is very serious, school also became an important part of education, teachers not are guaranteed to lose the position, dedicated teachers, teachers have the necessary knowledge to provide education particular. "whole person", as well as teachers in Japan can be fair to all students.
And a variety of factors, we can see several problems of education in Indonesia, a problem is the lack of teachers. The number of educators and teachers in this country is not sufficient to meet the needs of schools throughout the country. So, the spread of teachers in Indonesia has not been fair to all corners of the region. Composition of the distribution of teachers and educators continue to accumulate cities, while the rural and remote areas still lack teachers. So, That results in an imbalance between the number of teachers and needs in the field. Of course, because factors of well-being, awards and health and social protection, which is the attention and even less for teachers, so interest to become a master is still relatively small, because the profession is considered less promising well-being.
In curriculum development, implementation of the curriculum in Japan is difficult enough success criteria. Of course, reasonable because cognitive abilities and motivation of the students there are high. As a very high standard is applied, for example in the national graduation examination, many parts of Indonesia are still with objections various reasons.
Indonesia needs to do more leverage in terms of legislation and education structure. In other words, deregulation and restructuring of the education sector must verify four aspects, namely orientation learning students, teachers, the accountability of institutions, professionalism and the involvement of parents and the community of learners in education. In the case of teaching staff, quality, performance, and respect for teachers must be improved. Teachers are important and central role in teaching and learning.
That means the teacher becomes the heart and pulse of education itself. Even for many students, teachers, sometimes more respected than blood parents because the teacher is still considered the embodiment of good example and understand a lot of of knowledge. Therefore, improving the quality of education must be ensured always in harmony with respect for teachers. The low quality of education in Indonesia has actually acknowledged by the government, let alone the quality of education in Indonesia is ranked 160 of the world and ranked 16th in Asia. On average, the quality of education in Indonesia is still below Vietnam.
With Prism India and Japan, the quality of education in Indonesia could be better. Without a good education, this nation will be increasingly left behind and from other countries in sharing the field.
