Odd Early-Stage Allocations

The 2020 Jakarta draft budget priorities and ceiling (KUA-PPAS)—the early stage in the capital city’s budget plan—is full of irregularities.

Education For Disadvantaged Children

Achieving educational equity in Indonesia faces several hurdles, including limitations in infrastructure, educational facilities, and qualified instructors. These poor conditions have inspired several youths to act. Young people have opened classes in several provinces, including in the city of Makassar, South Sulawesi. In Pangkep, also in South Sulawesi, three youths pioneered the Floating School, a program meant to reach children living on small islands. Tempo English reports.

Shedding The Light Of Education

A great number of Indonesian children, particularly in remote areas, are deprived of education. UNICEF data shows around 2.5 million Indonesian children will only complete their primary, or at best, middle school education. Several young idealists wishing to improve the situation have established education programs for children living in isolated regions. In South Sulawesi, the Friends of Bulukumba Island, a community organization, dispatches volunteers to teach in three remote villages and has created reading rooms there. In the Bulungan regency, North Kalimantan, education volunteer, Sri Tiawati, runs the Punan Semeriot Indigenous School. Tempo English reports their stories in commemoration of International Children’s Day, June 2.

Scattered Clues of Terrorist Networks

Two ISIS-linked suicide bombers attacked Kampung Melayu in east Jakarta, not long after the concert explosion at Manchester, UK and about the same time as the occupation of Marawi town by terrorists in southern Philippines. Telephone numbers written on scraps of paper scattered at the bombing site, amid receipts of ATM transfers and withdrawals, led the police to a terrorist network. Terrorists are becoming more adept at evading police and law enforcement surveillance.

Muhammad Nasir, Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education:
Many People Abuse My Name

Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Muhammad Nasir said it is possible there are people claiming to have a close connection with him and acting as 'brokers' in elections at several universities. The former rector of Semarang's Diponegoro University said if this is indeed happening, he does not know about it nor would he be able to prevent them from 'trading influences' with rector candidates. "That's normal, but I wish it did not happen," he told Tempo during an interview in his study on Thursday, two weeks ago.

The minister's vote, which accounts for 35 percent, is a decisive factor in elections.

Because state universities are funded by the state budget, a minister is entitled to select one of three candidates. We don't just appoint people. Their track records are important, and they must have a clear vision and mission.

The huge education budget20 percent of the total state budgetdemands a significant improvement in the quality of the national education system, something that Indonesians have been yearning for years. Now, it is up to Education and Culture Minister Anies Baswedan to respond to those demands.

The Education Balance Sheet publication contains information that until recently was not available to the public, such as the number of students in schools, the proportion of students to teachers, the number of damaged and broken-down schools, the quality of teachers based on teacher competence evaluations, the different education budgets between national and regional budgets, the budget allocation per student and the number of accredited schools.

Sri Hartini-Director of Faith and Tradition, Ministry of Education and Culture
Maintaining the substance, reducing the superficial

Various traditional and cultural rituals in Indonesia can be quite expensive to carry out. Among the people of Toraja in South Sulawesi, for example, one traditional ceremony can cost billions of rupiah. Getting out of such rituals is not easy, although many communities around the country are determined to let go of certain traditional requirements that can often impoverish them, such as the villagers of Borokanda, at Ende Lio, Flores.

Director of Religion and Traditional Faith at the Education and Culture Minister, Sri Hartini, said that a simplification of rituals can be achieved through deliberations without reducing the substance of tradition. "Only the superficial aspect is simplified," she told Tempo English reporters Isma Savitri and Dahlia Rera in an interview, three weeks ago. Excerpts:

Hilmar insists he had to undergo the entire recruitment procedure, beating all his rivals through a very tight selection process. Hilmar, 47, a University of Indonesia graduate, was sworn in into his new job on December 31, 2015.

Hilmar, who will head a corps of about 3,600 employees, must now adapt to the rhythm of his new job. It is, after all, his first time as a bureaucrat.

Rudiantara, Communications and Information Minister:
The rules of the game need to be established

The positive trend on digital economics has caught the attention of President Joko Widodo. This lucrative business has been expanding in the past few years and is expected to continue growing in line with the increasing numbers of Internet users with their smart-phones. The Indonesian E-Commerce Association (idEA) recorded at least US$12 billion worth of online commerce in 2014. This has led the President to urge Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara to prepare the necessary steps to ensure Indonesia can benefit from the rapid growth of online businesses.

Rudiantara himself is optimistic that digital transcations in Indonesia can reach US$137 billion or eight to nine percent of national gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020. "We must establish the rules of the game so Indonesia can benefit from it," he said. Rudiantara shared his views on this new economic phenomenon with Tempo reporters Akbar Tri Kurniawan and Ursula Florence at his residence in Jakarta last week. Excerpts:

Anies Baswedan, Minister of Culture, Elementary and Secondary Education
Don't ever undermine the value of teachers by monetizing their profession

ON the first day that Anies Baswedan began his job as minister for culture and elementary and secondary education a year ago, he knew there would be piles of work ahead of him. Among the many issues that needed to be sorted out was the scarcity of teachers in Indonesia's remote areas. Yet, statistically, there should have been enough teachers to go around. The student-teacher ratio is around 16 to 1. "That's an excess, while in South Korea, the ratio is 30 to 1. Ideally it should be 25 to 1," said Anies, admitting that the problem in Indonesia was one of unequal distribution. In some places such as Papua, the ratio dropped significantly to 75 students for every teacher. So, in May this year, the education ministry initiated the Guru Garis Depan (Frontline Teachers ) program to address the shortage of teachers in the outer parts of the country. So far, 798 teachers have been sent out to teach at 28 regencies. Next year, the number is expected to increase to 3,500. Anies discussed the Frontline Teachers initiative with Tempo English reporters Sadika Hamid, Syari Fani and Amanda Siddharta. Excerpts:

Relocating River-Dwellers to High Rises

THE rivers in Jakarta are in a state of severe neglect. Since Jakarta city planning is a mess and the government suffers from corruption, residents are forced to build their homes along the filthy rivers. As a result, the rivers are becoming narrower and shallower, and are buckling under the load of garbage.

River dwellers understand that every rainy season the floods will come. The Jakarta government has built high-rise buildings for them to move into, thus making it possible pursue river clean-up and normalization. It was only during the governorship of current Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama that the relocation of these riverside inhabitants succeeded. Three weeks ago, Kampung Pulo residents were relocated to Jatinegara Barat high rises.

Anies Baswedan:
Education Should be a Pleasant Experience, not a Misery

PHOTOGRAPHS of elementary school students hang on the walls of the Ki Hajar Dewantara Building of the Elementary and Secondary Education and Culture Ministry in Jakarta. Most of them show children in remote areas, wearing shabby uniforms but genuine smiles on their faces. The photographs were put up at the request of the new minister, Anies Baswedan, who asked that they be hung everywhere, including in all meeting rooms. "So that when we meet, their faces will remind us that we work for them," said Anies, in his office last week.

Barely two months into his new assignment, Anies has created a buzz in Indonesia's education sector. He changed the function of national school examinations from determining a student's passing grade to merely a tool to measure the quality of education. A recent bombshell was when Anies halted the Curriculum 2013 and reverted to the Curriculum 2006 on December 6. He rejected the new curriculum because he noticed that teachers and schools were not ready to use it. "It's like being told to suddenly switch to an iPhone when you're used to using BlackBerry," Anies explained.

A People's Advocate

Forever Curious
Munir was known as a smart student despite his modest and at times, even below-average academic record. But he made up for any shortcomings with his inexhaustible curiosity and a passion to help the downtrodden. Even his choice of life-partner, Suciwati, was someone equally committed to his causes. Until his untimely death, Munir dedicated his life to fighting injustice and intolerance.

BORN to a modest merchant family, each day Munir would assist his elder brother Muhfid to sell cloth, shoes and slippers at the local market, Pasar Batu. He started helping out after his father died when he was still a sixth grader. As such, Munir had to earn extra money to pay his way through school and until he completed his law studies at Brawijaya University.

Munir's primary-school friend, Saiful Amin, recalled how they loved to swim in the Brantas River. He was thin and small in stature, often an object of ridicule, but he always fought back. He made friends easily and was always willing to give a helping hand. "He was a caring person and often showed empathy," Saiful said.

But it was his rebellious attitude, evident from a very young age, that was to define Munir's character and fate. "He was so stubborn," recalled Farida, 60, a teacher of Muhammadiyah elementary school 4 at Batu, Malang, where Munir studied. It was a trait to be found at home, where he was the only one from among seven children of Said Thalib and Djamilah who dared to question his parents. According to his brother Muhfid, Munir would always demand a logical explanation if his request was turned down. "If mother refused to give in to something without much thought, he was sure to protest," recalled Muhfid. He admitted, however, that Munir's arguments often made sense, so his brothers would always support him.

Mighty Majapahit

Regarded as the Golden Age of Indonesian history, the vast maritime empire of Majapahit reached its apogee in the 14th century. Though it thrived for only 300 years (late 13th century to early 16th century), Majapahit was Indonesia's greatest state, the last in a long line of Buddhist and Hindu Javanese kingdoms. Islam had ostensibly erased Indian cultural traditions by the 16th century, yet Buddhist-Hindu traces can still be seen in the rituals and architecture of the kraton courts of Bali and central Java, and innumerable motifs and styles of the earlier cultures are found everywhere in Indonesian art.
