An increase in the budget, followed by shopping, is good news even though the perpetrators of the education sector in the region often says the budget is never enough. However, the fact that the budget and education expenditures continue to rise. Then, if the result is equivalent to the increase?
In the record distribution berdasaran level of education budget prepared by the World Bank, the composition of the use of education in 2008 budget consists of 2 percent for early childhood education (OLD), 58 per cent for primary education, 9 percent for secondary schools, 8 per cent for higher education, and 23 percent for others.
In 2009, the education budget to primary education reduced and allocated to secondary education and higher education, each 1 percent.
This research also noted, more than half of the education budget additional funds spent on the salaries of teachers and teacher certification. Increasing teacher salaries mentioned spending driven by the growing number of teachers as well as teacher contract changes to become a civil servant.
Increasing the number of teachers to the attention so that the number of teachers was found to exceed the number of students since 2004. The World Bank noted, unfortunately, an increasing number of teachers is even not directly proportional to the results of study of the students.
"After decentralization, the number of teachers should be increased and the ratio between teachers and students is increasing rapidly. Have a lot of teachers it seems like a good thing. But the results did not reflect this, said a representative from the World Bank's Jakarta Office, Pedro Cerdan-Infantes, in a panel discussion entitled "Whither the political Direction of national education with a budget that continues to rise?" at Paramadina University, Saturday (14/3/2013).
Pedro says, the conclusion was obtained through tests against students ' ability in mathematics and language and compare it to the ratio between students and teachers.
"The result is not too there is a connection between the achievement of business objectives with the ratio of students and teachers. So increase the number of teachers is not necessarily the mengkatkan ability of students, "he said.
Pedro says, an increase in education spending is indeed increasing progress in the access to and equality of education. Children from poor families are found in school at early and go to school longer. However, the quality of national education, still far from expectations.
Scatter the budget
In practice, education spending is finally based on how the budget is accepted. Professor of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Soemantri Brodjonegoro Satryo says, the local government and the Department of education, especially at the kabupaten/kota, finally trying to spend the budget quickly.
For example, hold regular meetings, shopping, stationery or Office money. As a result, the construction only forward physically, not quality.
According to Satryo, the educational institution shall not be separated from the practice of "squandering" the budget. He claimed to have conversed with several of the university rector who has the Faculty of teacher training and education with respect to the number of teachers who are on the rise.
"I asked, why do they accept many students. The answer is to get the budget from the Government. That's what happened. Accept students or students in favor of the budget, "he said.
Former Director General of higher education is asking all the parties, especially the Government and educational institutions of the country, to improve the educational development mindset.
"So the program no longer exists because in-driven by the budget. We have to discuss the program and have a plan on first, then get a budget, "he said.
Pedro also adds, educational problems could not be resolved simply by financial approach.
"The Government can do which are strategic resources that merealokasi exist, including promoting scholarship, OLD, school readiness and primary education in the future," he said.
"Then with increasing the effectiveness of budget spending at the local level, i.e. encouraging local governments spend the money correctly according to the principles of education," he said.
