Imbalance Among The Three Centers of Education in Indonesia

by: Ardiana

The issue of the quality of education in Indonesia remains a hot topic this year. Many media outlets point to the poor quality of Indonesian education. Even Nadiem Makarim, Ministry of Education and Culture, mentioned in a YouTube podcast: "Before Indonesia had problems in its educational system. Now with the pandemic, the problem grows wider." Meanwhile, according to the Political and Economic Risk Consultant (PERC) Survey, Indonesia will be at the 12th rate of Asian countries. The position is below Vietnam. The data reported in the world economic forum of Sweden (2000) also suggests that Indonesia has low competitiveness of only the 37th in its 57 surveys. This data is certainly not the only indication that proves the low quality of education in Indonesia. There is a more relevant field fact: The imbalance of the three centers of education that play a fundamental role in the educational process. These centers include schools, communities, and families

The first point, school. In Indonesia, schools are considered to be a major factor in the poor quality of education. On the other hand, schools are also stigmatized as the main responsibility for student intelligence. Meanwhile, the school with its entire curriculum and rules in it are rated as putting pressure on students. Starting from the number of assignments to graduate standards centralized on academic ability. Making the system fail in exploring the potential of other students who are not in accordance with the passing standards.

The second point, society. Indonesian society in general also makes a person's academic quality an acceptable indication of success. This indirectly forms a person to focus on developing his academic side and ignoring skills/potential. In addition to traditional societies, there is horizontal social mobility. This means that when the parents are farmers, their children will also become farmers. This is compounded by the mindset that assumes that education is not important, especially for women. After traditional societies, there is a modern society. The group was mostly educated, and everyone had the opportunity to move more widely and freely. But it often creates unhealthy cultures, such as hedonism, consumerism, promiscuity, etc.

Third point, family. The family is the first and the most important place of learning for the child in this case a mother becomes a teacher. While judging from the second point, some women don't have the opportunity to get a proper education. So not all children will get good educational opportunities either. Then on a modern family with a variety of new cultures adapted. The biggest threat is that the child does not get an investment of value that is used as a basis for their association despite good educational opportunities. Oftentimes children of this modern family also suffered from broken homes and give greater mental stress.
The three points above prove that the poor quality of education in Indonesia is not necessarily caused by schools but also by communities and families. With the facts on the field as complex as that. Thus, to escape the quality of the education crisis, it would require changes that are able to build awareness of education actors. In this case, youth as social agents are the most potential who are able to collaborate with various societies. Namely, the public, governments as a driving school, parents as role models for their children, and learners themselves. Through the youth, space movement, and the idea/innovation completion is expected to grow even more. Thus forming a good synergy between the three centers of education and created a system that is fair and healthy for future generations.

Ketidakseimbangan Pendidikan di Indonesia

Oleh: Ardiana 

Isu mengenai kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia masih menjadi bahasan yang hangat tahun ini. Banyak media menyebutkan kualitas pendidikan Indonesia termasuk buruk. Bahkan Nadiem Makariem, Menteri Kemendikbud Indonesia, menyebutkan dalam sebuah podcast di youtube, "Sebelum pandemic Indonesia sudah memiliki masalah dalam sistem pendidikannya. Sekarang dengan adanya pandemic maka masalah tersebut semakin luas." Sementara menurut Survei Political And Economic Risk Consultan (PERC), kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia berada pada urutan ke 12 dari 12 negara di Asia. Posisi tersebut berada di bawah Vietnam. Data yang dilaporkan The World Economic Forum Swedia (2000) juga menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang rendah yaitu hanya menduduki urutan ke-37 dari 57 negara yang disurvey. Data tersebut tentu bukan indikasi satu-satunya yang membuktikan rendahnya kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia. Terdapat fakta lapangan yang lebih relevan yakni ketidakseimbangan tiga pusat pendidikan yang memiliki peran mendasar dalam proses pendidikan. Tiga pusat tersebut antara lain adalah sekolah, masyarakat, dan keluarga.

Poin pertama, sekolah. Di Indonesia sekolah dianggap menjadi faktor utama dari rendahnya kualitas pendidikan. Di sisi lain sekolah juga mendapat stigma sebagai penanggung jawab utama kepintaran murid. Semantara itu sekolah dengan segenap kurikulum dan aturan didalamnya dinilai memberikan tekanan bagi murid. Mulai dari banyaknya tugas sampai standart kelulusan yang disentralisasi pada kemampuan akademik. Membuat system tersebut gagal dalam menggali potensi murid lain yang tidak sesuai dengan standart kelulusan.
