INDONESIA’S 2013 CURRICULUM
The minister of education and culture of Indonesia, Muhammad Nuh takes a new
regulation to repair Indonesia’s educational quality through a new curriculum.
There is ongoing debate in Indonesia at this 3 last months because of “2013 curriculum controversy“. The
executive government want to revise the last curriculum ( KTSP ) because there
are many weakness of that curriculum. this essay will discuss the excellence and weakness of this new curriculum.
Clearly,
the old curriculum has failed to improve both intelligence and character of
Indonesia’s young generation. There are many violence, student’s brawls and
also sexual bullying. Furthermore, Indonesia’s intelligence is placed at the 69
world ranking ( based on the data in
Education For All (EFA)
Global Monitoring Report 2011: The Hidden Crisis, Armed Conflict and Education
by UNESCO ). Indonesia is lower than Brunei Darussalam, quoted by : http://azharmind.blogspot.com.
However,
new curriculum is believed that it appear as the answer of young generation’s
degradation. It serves some new models.
At first, in elementary school there are
Ten subjects ( religion, civil, Indonesian language, math, science, social, art
and culture, exercise, self development and local subject ) then they will be
integrated in six subjects ( religion, civil, math, Indonesian language,
exercise and art and culture), where science will be integrated with math and
Indonesian language, social subject will be integrated with Indonesia and
civil. In senior high school also, there is no dichotomy again. Students can
study any subject that they like. It’s hoped that education doesn’t stigmatize
student’s different qualify anymore, so that the students can recognize each
other.
I
personally think that, new curriculum is good even though there will be some
consequences. There are some subjects that lack of teacher and the other hand
there will be some subjects that surplus
of teacher. Because of this, both teacher and student are not balance. However,
the last curriculum will jail the students and teacher in the regulation.
Because they must follow every stakeholders decision.
In
conclusion, both the last and newer have speciality and weakness. Which one is
better is still questionable, because the new curriculum has not implemented yet. So let the
government do the best. May it can help Indonesia from bad position.
