Free school possible? Dissecting Free School Ala South Nias
As usual, started the new school year FY 2011/2012 are mostly parents of students in the country to mess around with some of the "act" that burdens the school students with different cost values of millions and even tens of millions of Rupiah, a glimpse of these costs is not realistic . Even in some schools parents deliberately not pay monthly dues set by the school / school committee because the parents felt was never consulted and if there are parents who are not consulted and agree to attend all such fees, dues are other reasons charged to students is too expensive, not realistic. Then there was a push-pull, tug-of-interest between the parents, schools and school committees and korbanya was clear the students, not rare to hear the news: A certificate of the party arrested for not paying school fees or the B commit suicide embarrassment and could not afford / make up diplomas because they have not paid fees or other costs. Cases such as this is one example of the many problems of education in the country.
Sadly that has been mandated by the Education Act of 1945 as the rights of citizens and the state's obligation to comply has not been realized, although the 1945 Constitution was brightly lit mengamanatkannya. Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945 (Amendment IV) states "that every citizen is entitled to education, every citizen is obliged to follow the compulsory basic education and government finance, the government shall establish and conduct a national education system, which increases the faith and devotion and noble character in order intellectual life of the nation, governed by law; prioritize state education budget at least 20% (twenty percent) of the State Budget (Budget) as well as from the Regional Budget (budget) to meet the needs of national education ..... "Furthermore, Law no. 20 of 2003 on National Education System that regulates several articles that describe education funding misalnyapada Article 11 Paragraph 2 of the Government and Local Government shall ensure the availability of funds for implementation of education for every citizen over the age of seven to fifteen years.
In fact, despite being required, regional and central government has not seriously allocate budget to meet or at least 20% of the budget / budget or may be due to mandatory status? and not have to? It could have ngeles government, law enjoined it's just .... not really require. Or classical reason, the government has not enough funds for it. Well, deh sometime if we are using this line of reasoning. If we examine again the 1945 tucked above the sentence "... the state budget prioritizes education", education was a priority and not number two, in fact? It was not a priority, at least judging from the budget allocation for education. Interestingly, or maybe silly, a few years ago (before it was stopped by regulation of the Minister), football would be subsidized, the funds taken from the Budget / Budget, ironic. Inverted priorities.
Free school possible?
In my opinion, if anyone could answer such questions may and may not be possible at all, depending on the intentions of government, public authorities or institutions and the direct or indirect interest in education. Operating costs of education must be recognized each time increases, it may not be cut, the problem is who will pay for it? Clearly the government with an allocation of 20% of its Budget and Budget plus people, the problem for this government seems to ignore it and allow the public to finance their own education. If only the government mengsubsidi (read eliminate) the cost of education and with the community work together to bear this cost then of course we will increase the quality of education, will no longer drop out of school or a child who committed suicide had the opportunity not only for reasons of taste education as a right that should be citizens.
And if the above question submitted to the government of South Nias regency, North Sumatra, then the answer is probably yes, it can! and even being run by local regulation (law) to a free education and free primary health care on May 6th, 2011 ago. Interestingly, this law was passed less than three months since South Nias Regent Idealisman Dachi served, his treatment at the hands of members of the Regional House of Representatives Parliament of South Nias is running smoothly and not drag on with a variety of arguments such as that commonly occurs in the discussion of regulation or legislation at the central level or in other areas for example. Interestingly this policy shall also apply to students or university students from other areas outside of South Nias regency. Time for South Nias community pride and enjoy their rights in education they deserve. (Bersambung..)
