beritalima.com | Education is an activity of teaching and learning process from generation to the next generation. Education is needed in order to prepare the next generation of the nation in the future. Education can be said to be of good quality if it can produce graduates of good quality in personal, moral, and knowledge in accordance with the expectations of the public.
Education has a very important role in the development of human life in all aspects of life. Education can affect human development in all aspects of life. Education is the main key for a country to excel in global competition. because education is an activity that learns things that humans do not know about besides that education is the basis for character building for the young generation in Indonesia in order to advance and develop the State of Indonesia. The quality of education in Indonesia is not much different from other developing countries. Although there are a number of points that are left behind, it does not mean that education in this island country is not good.
There are several educational problems in Indonesia that often occur. One of them is the education system in Indonesia itself. The education system in Indonesia should not have to assess results without having to see a process. If you want to improve education in Indonesia, the education system should be changed to the education system in Finland where the education system in Finland does not have homework, national exams, and short study time (5 HOURS).
Schools in Indonesia study with 8 hours of study time. In Indonesia, a full day system is implemented where a student is given an assignment and homework. In this day and age, intellectual intelligence is not the only benchmark for one’s success in competing, especially in Indonesia. The education system in Indonesia should not require a student to understand all lessons and the education system in Indonesia should not apply the value limits in a report card. learning can be said to be successful when students can correctly understand their environment and themselves.
The Indonesian system must focus more on talents and interests. Because talent and interest are important for one’s life in the future. Perseverance in the field of interest and talent from an early age will support the deeper depth of one’s skills. Not even demanded to master the material in all subjects. A student is not a robot. A student needs space. Education will refer to students’ future needs and employment needs. Do not let a student be forced to learn a lesson he does not like even though they have advantages and skills in certain subjects.
Because the purpose of education is for humans to have knowledge that can be used for their survival. Because without education alone humans are just like machines without teeth. There is nothing human can do if they do not have the knowledge itself. That’s the importance of education for human development. The more knowledge gained, the more humans can develop in the future. Education is an important indicator that determines the progress of a nation and therefore education also plays an important role in creating the next generation of virtuous nation. Thus education is all the effort and all efforts to make society able to develop the potential of students to have spiritual spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and possess the skills needed as members of society and citizens.
