Once Again RSBI's Conflicts- faruqubaidillah.wordpress.com

Have you heard the latest news about RSBI ?? I think all people, educational expert in particular, do know what’s going on with RSBI. Not to mention, Indonesian government once again creats a problem in our education journey. They first founded International Standadized School for several reasons. One of them is to ensure the quality of education in Indonesia in international eyes. This is run by supplying English books to all subjects taught at schools as well as require teachers to have English skill both written and spoken. This decision soon created some protests from parents as the cost of RSBI-based school in not reseanable, and that, it seems to serve education for the rich only. To more extent, even parents whose children are not smart enough can still easily pass the test and enroll in this school provided that they can pay huge amount of payment.

More about RSBI now, I would prefer tell you this problem. As quoted from Kompas.com newsletter, Indonesian government paln to change RSBi into “Sekolah Unggulan”. By this new issue, do you think that government really work professionally ?/ meanwhile many protesters against this decision. Government should fundemantally rethink about education for the poor, for parents whose children are smart but have no any fund to attent a school. Clearly, in our law, government is supposed to serve eductaion for the poor, to make it free of charge; not to do something useless like this problem stated. Government should further manage he quality of education effectively; otherwise, indonesia will still rank poorly in international eyes.
This, not to mention, is a quite disruptive problem in our education. We have to think others such questioning the new curriculum, banning students to fight, and thinking how to improve teachers’ quality. Not only do we concern on those problems, this is we who should overcome all problems appeared. If we still wait for the government without doing something useful, we would never put education in Indonesia to rank the best position in International eyes.
