At the time of reforms introduced, the people of Indonesia
want change in all aspects of national life including the one aspect of
education, which is a sector that has a strategic and functional role in the
effort make the changes. Under the Act No. 20 of 2003 Indonesia already has an
education system, where development of education in Indonesia at least
use the four basic strategies namely, first equal opportunity to education,
second, the relevance of education, Third, improving the quality of education
and the fourth, the efficiency of education.
In general, these strategies can be divided into two
dimensions: improved quality and equity of education. Development quality
improvement is expected to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and
educational productivity. While the policy of equality education expected can
provide equal opportunity in education for all school age. From this new
education can be viewed as catalisator that can support the other
factors as a means of education efforts human resource development (HRD) is
becoming increasingly important in the development a nation.
Four strategies basic education policy described above is
ideal. but by Muchtar Buchori, an education expert, to assess the policy Our
education has never been clear. Education in Indonesia during the time in set
with the national education system that is closely associated with life
political nation, which resulted in producing men of Indonesia depressed, not
critically, act and think in reference to a power structure which only serve
the interests of small groups of people of Indonesia.
Policy our education, thinking in reference to uniformity.
Can be said that during the These are all centralized education policy. The
curriculum is set in the center, power is determined from the center of
education, educational facilities and infrastructure given from the center,
everything is uniform from the center. It is very ironic more work is put
education as a "non academic" education organized by the
"authorities" power "administrative-birocration" do
not put education as an academic and work organization education under the
authority of science.
Post reform in 1998, there were fundamental changes in
education system nationwide. These changes follow the change of government
system centralized towards decentralistic or better known as the
autonomy of education and policies that affect our education system. Autonomy is
based on Law No. 22 of 1999 making judgments or policy decisions independently.
With basic This, then an ideal educational autonomy can be grown in a free,
democratic, rational and certainly among the beings in the quality. Therefore,
the reconstruction and reform in the System National and regional education as
stipulated in the Guidelines of State Policy, 1999, also has formulated our
mission of realizing the National Education and the climate system the
democratic national education and quality, in order to strengthen noble
character, creative, innovative, insightful nationality, intelligent, healthy,
disciplined, responsibility and control of science and technology in order to
develop quality Indonesia's human.
To achieve that mission should be
applied range of policy directions, one of which is improving the ability of
academic and professional well-being of educational personnel.
In realizing the mission the government
has amending the 1945 budget for education 20% and policy issued
in the form of Act No. 20 of 2003 on the System National Education Act No. 14
of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers and Government Regulation No. 19 of 2005 on
National Standards Which mandates that teacher education is required to have
academic qualifications, competency and certificates of educators and
Government Regulation no. 74 of 2008 about teachers.
Regulation legislation has been made in such a way to create education quality,
while in fact many obstacles of the ground discovered by the teacher in
fulfilling the conditions required by the increasing quality and certification
of teachers, for that has passed the certification that we see them in the
files is very poor with papers, how they will produce students who are able to
write scholarly.
Reality in the
learning process a lot is an obstacle for educators themselves one of them
which is a common treatment hello to every student, while in the life as we
understand together that humans have an innate characteristic and different
psychology, child psychology students remember the different required special
treatment the measured and planned.
