The equity of education in Indonesia

Indonesia’s education goverment should apply the equity of education in all areas in Indonesia. Indonesia as developing country has many troubles to manage the high standard of education; moreover, about the equity itself. The biggest trouble comes from the government who always focuses their attention in the school which located in strategic areas or in the city. Therefore, the schools which located in hinterland or far away from central government are always ruled out. In addition, the education system in Indonesia has always adapted to the conditions of the existing political and bureaucratic. On the other hand, it is not a major problem in improving the quality of education. The important thing to do is how the field implementation including lack of educational equity and particularly in isolated areas. The equity of education in Indonesia is very important to improve the human resources. So, toward the equity of education which is effective and comprehensive, we need to know some of the fundamental problems that against our education sector. To solve those problems we have to concerning the constraints of capacity, infrastructure facilities, the lack of teachers, the conventional learning process, and the lack of funding or budgetary. Firstly, the limitation of capacity is very influential in the process of educational equity. For instance, many schools are having unbalance capacity by the number of student who accepted. As a result, the learning process becomes less than the maximum, because the quota of students in one class is still in large number.  Whereas, in developed countries like Australia only educates about twenty students in one class. Therefore, whether we have to compare that the quota of students in Indonesia in the same class is a double that of Australia. Secondly, the lack of funding is also being the crucial one to apply the equity of education. The lack the government provide the funding the more limited facilities for learning in the school. As a result, the student cannot learn effectively without complete facilities and the teacher would always use the conventional method to teach them. In conclusion, Indonesia’s education government should pay attention more to the schools which placed in isolated area in order to make the equity of education are balanced. However, Educational equity cannot be realized without the any cooperation from various parties, both government and society. So, whether the aim is reached the Indonesia’s human resources would get increase and would get easier to improve the nation become developed country.
