How glad I am as the first lady of Indonesia that today we can celebrate the National Education Day that is taking place at the yard field of Bogor Palace on this May 2th 2007.

The rapid and great increase of school-age children and graduates from every level of education, but not followed with any increase of facilities and infrastructures that is immediate and adequate causing issues for government to provide “education and teaching” for all the citizens as said in the Constitution.
This issue is quite crucial if we recall the variety of Indonesian geographical condition that is widespread and separated with different levels of social-economics-cultural developments. At that time, when the first time of execution of REPELITA/Rencana Pembangunan Lima Tahun (Five-Year Development Plan) with an emphasis on economical development that is perceived to be the basis of any other aspect regarding national development. In the renewal of education, the consideration is focused on attempts of betterment and enhancement for the quality of education as well as structuring of opportunity for everyone to get education.
Talking about the last attempt, it is quite difficult to reach if it’s only performed by using conventional ways that is by making use of communication technology and television and radio information. In 2007, government has determined the APBN (National Budget) for education by 20 % for elementary school, middle school, and high school. Every program and activity performed is not so much based on the addition of total of school buildings, teachers, literatures, and others.
The indentified alternatives include:
1. The increase of accommodating capacity for Middle School students which is done by addition of new schools
2. The increase of accommodating capacity for private schools
3. The development of open-schools by the correspondence-medias, modules, radio broadcastings, television broadcastings, and others.
4. The opening of practical skill courses outside the schools as a channelization method for people
Ki Hajar Dewantara (1889-1959) was a personage of Indonesian education who initiated the founding of educational institute named Taman Siswa. He is known more by his philosophy; “tut wuri handayani, hing madya mangun karsa, hing ngarso sung tulada”.
Ki Hajar Dewantara classified the purpose of education in term “tri-nga” (three “nga-nga” is the last alphabet of Javanese Ajisak alphabet). The first “Nga” means “Ngerti” (To understand or intellectual aspect). The second “Nga” means “Ngrasa” (To feel or affection aspect), and the third “Nga” means “Nglakonin” (To teach or the psycomotoric aspect). He formulated the purpose of education that involves cognitive, affective, and psycomotoric aspect.
According to Dewantara, it’s everybody’s right to control themselves. For that reason, the teaching has to educate everyone to be human with independent soul, mind, and power. The teaching should not too prioritize the intellectuality because it could take apart the educated people from society.
That’s all I could say. I wish Indonesia could improve and develop as well as create many productive, creative, and innovative people under education process that are all to the good and beneficial for people and nation, and create quality and independent human resources to meet the global needs.
Please forgive me for all of my mistakes on my words. Thank you for the attention.
