Case dikabulkannya several lawsuits by the Constitutional Court (MK), such as an International School Stub (RSBI) and law education, legal entities as well as about the Government turned the national exam of Cassation by the Supreme Court show that at the level of implementation, our education is indeed problematic.
Outsmart education
Since the Reformation, there are some Ordinances which are normative and seyogianya make national education the better.
First, the Constitution requires the State to prioritize education budget of at least 20 percent of the NATIONAL BUDGET and a GRANT. Later, law No. 20/2003 on the national education system make it clear that at least 20 percent of the funds it does not include the salaries of educators and education costs are limited.
The provisions were implemented in 2009 after the STATE BUDGET ACT 2005-2008 consecutively sued and was declared unconstitutional, as well as after the phrase "in addition to the salaries of educators" was cancelled by the CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. teacher salary so Since the budget is at least 20 per cent of the disbursed funds public allocations, as on paper a budget education nationally and per region jumped sharply. However, compared to before, the magnitude of the budget was actually not much different percentage.
As an illustration, the budget for education amounted to Rp 2013 331,8 trillion (20,01%) including the Ministry of education and Religion ministries/18 other institutions which, if issued, along with a teacher's salary, so only 9.8 per cent of the NATIONAL BUDGET. In the meantime, the education expenditure in 1973 (when the price of crude oil rise) of Rp 436 billion (9 percent); 2006 44,11 trillion Rupiah (10.1 per cent); and 2007 53,07 trillion Rupiah (10.5 percent). So, the word "prioritize" a minimum of 20 per cent on the implementation, less meaningful, let alone the often less appropriate utilization and also obscure his impeachment.
Second, about the definition of education. Law No. 20/2003 defines the "education" as a "conscious effort and planned to realize a process of learning and lajaran to pembe-learners are actively developing the potential for him to ..." That is, the student-centered learning and active students. This verse demands change approaches and learning methods.
Although President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono when opening a national meeting of 2009 asked the Minister to change the teaching-learning methodology, so far there is no serious and systematic effort made. Instead, the Minister changed the actual curriculum is not urgent and less for quality improvement, strategic while learning methods are allowed to take place in ancient ritual bath.
Third, RSBI. Article 50, paragraph (3) of law No. 20/2003 requires that the Government and the local government units or to develop an international education. The Spirit of this article is improved quality so that our education is equivalent to or exceeds the best quality of education in the developed countries. In this regard the Government refers to the OECD countries (Organization for economic cooperation and development.
The implementation is mostly high-cost RSBI. The assumption is borrowed from the world of Commerce, adagium "If you want quality, should be willing to pay dearly". Because of that, there was the commercialization, discrimination (pengastaan), and liberalization in education, while the quality remains unclear. Finally the COURT annul article 50, paragraph (3) which is so basic and expensive school RSBI it should be converted into regular schools.
Fourth, the national exam. In article 57 and 59 of law No. 20/2003 stated, student assessment learners committed educators. Meanwhile, in the framework of evaluation quality control education nationally as a form of accountability education providers carried out by independent institutions.
Implementation, the Government annually since 2004 national examination for conducting mapping and pengenda-lian by evaluating the quality of learning and student outcomes implies ketidaklulusan. At the insistence of PARLIAMENT, 2005 with the Government made hasty Government Regulation No. 19 on the education standards as the legal umbrella national exam.
Even so, the national exam still considered in violation of the law, the principles of pedagogy, and be bad for education and instruction so the Government sued and found guilty by the District Court to the Supreme Court.
However, with that Government continues to conduct excused himself national goal up to now, even starting 2013 was made one of the components determining the national selection sign in Universities the invitation.
Fifth, the professionalism of teachers and professors. According to the Act No. 14/2005 about the teachers and professors, professional teachers and professors work improving the quality of education through increased national dignity and the role of the teacher or lecturer (article 4 and 5).
To that end, the legislation gives quantitative grounding of academic qualifications, competence, and educator certificates.
The implementation of the most popular is the certification portfolio, i.e. the assessment of various documents teacher or lecturer (in the Office). When a program half-way, without thorough preparation, all of a sudden the Government roll out competence early followed by teacher competency test which is said for mapping.
Only teachers ' economic improvement
After more than five years of progress, the World Bank research shows results, certification portfolio positively impact only on the economic improvement and an increased interest in becoming a teacher of teachers. As for the performance of teachers and students learning achievements, no effect significant improvements.
Teacher professionalism should be policy change roles and the substance of education institutions produce educators in preparing candidates as far as this has not been done. In the meantime, the teaching profession education programs recently begun tested this year.
It seems more implementations of education intended to circumvent efforts to formulate education policy not to be effective and advance. Management of education such as the sand Castle play or dance poco-poco (Megawati Sukarnoputri), busy up-collapsed, back and forth, the result can remain there.
To reduce the spirit perhaps needed in implementation arbitrer of institution brain trust, thinkers, as well as a trusted education supervisor. This is more important when considering the largest STATE BUDGET allocations and BUDGETS in the field of education.
