LEARNING HARD WAY
Authors: Maggie Tiojakin

I have chosen this article because it is a good article that explain us about bad sector in education programme in Indonesia. Our country still cannot able to develop it well. Getting a good education is still difficult for who majored in economics. I hope, the government can solve the problem as soon as possible. I don’t want any children had dropped out from schooling anymore.

This article explain us about bad sector in Indonesian education programme. In fact, there are about 4 million Indonesians between ages of 10 and 44 who are illiterated, placing the country 95th among 175 countries surveyed in 2005 by UNESCO. And of the 78 million people up to 18 years of age, 26 million have either dropped out of school, been expelled or have never seen the inside of a classroom, according to 2006 data from the National Education Ministry.

And according to the Asian-South Pacific Bureauof Adult Education and the Global Campaign for Education, Indonesia finished 10th out of 14 countries in the Asia Pacific evaluated for their educational system. Scorewise, it achieved 42 out of 100-or big, fat F. Sri Lanka, a country that has endured a devastating three decades o0f civil war and which visiting Indonesians are quick to point out doesn’t boast the big-building development of their homeland, still beats Indonesia on the education front with aB (Republika daily,2005).

In this article, the writer want to tell for all of us to know that our government policy program in education still cannot help children getting a good education. It seems so hard because a good jobs need a good education. And of course, with a good education we can improve our developing country going better. A better life and better qualification.

In my opinion, this article is good. From this, I know that education in Indonesia still in less, rather poor than another near neighbouring country such as Malaysia and Singapore.
I suggested everyone to read this, think over it deeply and please take it in your heart. Imagine that you’re the children on that position. It’s very hard!
