Education is the pillar of culture and the main foundation for building a nation’s civilization. Awareness of the importance of education will determine the quality of inner and outer well-being and the future of its citizens. Therefore, the substance of education, teaching materials and learning methodologies, as well as difficult accountable education management should be a concern for state administrators. It is evident that all nations that have succeeded in achieving a high level of cultural and technological progress must be supported by a very solid quality of education.
However, the existence of education in Indonesia at this time is still a problem because there are still many children of the nation who have not received proper education and there are also those who have never tasted school at all. In fact, they also have the same rights as children who have received a proper education, such as the example of the children of the rich. The direction of the nation will be in their hands because they will be the successors of the nation’s struggle.
Education is the right of every citizen, but there are still some of them who have not received this right. Until now, the biggest opportunity to get access to a good education is only the children of the rich and smart.
With a capital of more than sufficient economic capacity, supported by the ability to think highly, it becomes a supporting factor to gain access to better education. They have a great opportunity to enter elite, quality, national, and even international standard schools. This creates a conducive teaching and learning environment, because it is supported by the quality of students who have high thinking power. In addition, the availability of complete infrastructure helps to realize an established education. At the present time, education in Indonesia is in the form of a market system, namely for those who have a lot of money, they will get a proper education. In fact, this should not happen.
There are several things that make education in Indonesia increasingly deviated from the ideals of the nation. First, the tendency of Indonesian education to become increasingly elitist and unreachable by the poor. In this case, the government is accused of making discriminatory policies that make it difficult for small people to access education. Second, the birth of an education system that is not empowering. In this context, policies are formed solely to support the status quo and stabilize social inequality (Darmaningtyas, 2005, Rusak-Rusakan Education). Third, the lack of educational orientation towards moral development. This can be proven by looking at the reality of children who act immorally, so it is often said that education is lacking character.
It has been understood by educators that the mission of education is to pass on knowledge from generation to generation. Don’t let that generation be cut off just like that. The sciences in question include: knowledge, traditions, and cultural values (civilization). In general, the transmission of this knowledge has been carried out by people who are burdened with the next generation. They are represented by people who have a vision for the future, namely to make a better and civilized generation. How very important education is, even developed countries will certainly not be separated from the role of education.
Talking about this education In Article 31 paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Constitution it is clear that every citizen has the right to education, is obliged to attend basic education and the government is obliged to finance it, the state also prioritizes the education budget of at least 20 percent of the APBN and APBD. The question is, have all the children of the nation got their rights? Looking at the current facts, in Indonesia every year more than 1.5 million school children do not continue their education to a higher level.
