why should the school?

Create a School What?
By: Muhammad Khairul Idaman *


A mother tells her child "son when you grow up you must be civil servants (PNS) is not hard to let your life, do not imitate the father and mother that every day should be selling vegetables to the market, let alone the father and mother are stupid and hard to find money neighboring clay we were high sekolahannya look nice life you have to imitate him. " While on the other hand a mother saying "why should it high school? Doctors already there, the minister was there, many teachers, the president was there, passable school money I'll buy the cow breed more clearly the result of the need to pay for school, look at lukman the school was far away but after finally now I am unemployed and anggutan driver .. " !

Consciously or not, public opinion awoke ditingkatan of education (schools) as illustrated above. People consider that one of the tools a person's success in school is the extent to which he was able to bring himself on a high social status in the community measure is whether a person is working with an elegant (and tie, he wore shiny shoes, and carried a briefcase) or not, and whether a person is get rich with his job? If someone who has come a level of education (high school, D1, D2, D3, S1, S2, and S3) and after it passed the unemployed then he has failed to attend school. This sort of thing is often encountered in our society.

Observing the above, if indeed educational practices that have been undertaken there is an error process?, Why education can not provide enlightenment ditingkatan influence society, then what had been done by our education? if the community diopinikan it was a mistake to think, why the quality of education in Indonesia is not better than other countries, is not every day continuing education improvement efforts ranging from seminars to law-making system of national education? Or is what is meant by Ivan Ilich that "SCHOOL is more dangerous than nuclear. It is the opium! Exempt residents of the school."

Clearly education (school) is not a process for preparing a human-human inhabitants of the factory, let alone looking elegant regeneration was limited to civil servants (PNS), but more than that is how education is an effort to humanize humans. Obviously the process is not a simple thing takes a strong commitment from each of the educational component of government especially how to position education as a long-term inventasi with the product of human-human future that hadal, critically and responsibly. If education is positioned as a complement to the world's only industry then maybe human beings are human beings Indonesia fore the capitalistic, consider the period before the admission of students / student school year alongside a road often we find ranging from banners, billboards, liflet, brochures, pamlet and a sticker that reads a capitalistic slogans such as "pass directly guaranteed work, if not money back 100%, those that read" school only to work, here the place "let alone the many schools which exacerbated industrial-style image of education that tend to be more oriented to the accumulation of capital than the fulfillment of the quality of academic services provided. At last seen clearly how the quality of Indonesian human resources that are far from expectations as reported by the UNDP study in 2000 which stated that the Human Development Index (HDI) Indonesia ranks 109 out of 174 countries or data 2001 ranks 102 of 162 countries.

So it is no wonder that people view the world ditingkatan education (schools) to this day as an institutional dealer like civil servants (PNS) an indication of pandangangan can be seen how the public interest is high enough when opening the prospective registration of civil servants (CPNS) as if the status / academic degree they achieve (D1, D2, D3, S1, S2, and S3) only suitable for office work (PNS) this also is one of the factors that led to the educated unemployment rate increased every year since the error motiv school as a result of school behavior that capitalistic eventually gave birth to the educated lot that mentality "The prestige of big-gedean"

Certain things should at least be a reflection of our education that education is not as simple with only mengupulkan the lecture and then after that went home the next day chores to school again until graduation achievement (school-based toll road), if only a monotonous sort of school activity is the option to attend school is an option that is very detrimental to the process executable, but if schools do not like toll roads then the option to beinvestasi in the education world by educating our children is a very smart choice. Therefore it is time to reform our education ourselves seriously how learning in school especially it can be run through the principle of critical awareness so that through the power of critical consciousness can analyze, relate even concluded that the problems of poverty, unemployment, and other systems is not an issue because the issue of levels of the school. This is what should be important for internalized cargo each student.

In addition, restore public confidence that the school was not just a stage to work the office became one of the world's education agenda that must be done immediately so that masyarakatpun can understand in a holistic education for what it was born. Such an agenda will be run better if their respective educational institutions to act fairly how the new admissions process is no longer wearing a misleading slogan. Maintaining the same school that capitalistic undermine public interest and motivation to participate in the intellectual life of the nation.
