We Need Good Policies at First

education

If in an analysis of English curriculum tells about an ideal situation which can make development of curriculum runs well, In Indonesia, it is still very hard to reach the ideal situation. In social, project, institutional, teacher, adoption, until learner factors, all of them are in a bed condition. It is very hard to only maximize an old curriculum in our education, even to develop a new curriculum which is centered on school autonomous. All of the problems are related to the educational policies of our government.

            Although UU BHP has been omitted by Court of Constitution (MK) several days ago, commercialization of education is still to be big threat for our education. UU BHP got so many refusals from academicians such as Professors of education and public policies, lecturers, teachers, until students. In BHP, school or other education institutions are same as a company. The fundamental of holding education is only looking for profit.  School or other education institutions have their autonomous in deciding study cost for the students. It is very frighten the poor people destiny.

        The other threats are International Standard School (SBI) and International Standard Operation (SBI). Several schools that have name SBI or even still a planning (RSBI) have raised their study cost for their student. If the condition turns accrue, Indonesian young generations who can get a good quality education are only lucky generation who came from rich family. Poor generations will only be able to educate in low quality school although the generation are intelligence. After that, ISO will press school management as high quality as international standard says. In some schools, especially in the village or out of java, they will get a lot of obstacles to reach the standard. Furthermore, the schools will fail to develop their management as their needs.

                  The policies actually have good motivation. But, the government often imports a system without any adoption in order to match with this country condition. It is important to government to read the book in the adoption point. Our government some time needs more education about how to adopt a foreign system because our government really often to make failures and mistakes in managing our education. The government should observe Indonesian education needs as shown in this book.

             After policies made by government are appropriate with the education condition, the government should give a wide autonomous to the academician to stake out our education. If the conditions happen, we can do the situational analysis as the book drawn.
