Education System in Indonesia

Introduction
Education in Indonesia is the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education of Indonesia (Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional Republik Indonesia/Kemdiknas), formerly the Department of Education and Culture of Indonesia (Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia/Depdikbud). In Indonesia, all citizens must undertake nine years of compulsory education, six years at elementary level and three in junior high school.

Education is defined as a planned effort to establish a study environment and education process so that the student may actively develop his/her own potential to gain the religious and spiritual level, consciousness, personality, intelligence, behaviour and creativity to him/herself, other citizens and for the nation. The constitution also notes that education in Indonesia is divided into two major parts, formal and non-formal. Formal education is divided again into three levels, primary, secondary and tertiary education.

Opinion
Education in Indonesia hasn't grown so much till these days. This is a problem which happens continuously in Indonesia. The Indonesian Ministry of Education do stupid things every year, the curiculum is changed every after Indonesia have chosen a new minister. This makes poor people in Indonesia have to pay much money to get education because Indonesia uses new books every year and it's absolutely not eficient.
We will never be surprised when we hear that many Indonesian people can't read or can't study in a university, because many Indonesian people can't pay that much money to get into a university to study. How poor it is to know that many people can't get much education while they want to get lessons as high as they can reach.

Now we can take a conclusion that the education system in Indonesia isn't good enough to be maintained.
