Compulsory Education Program

In Indonesia, the government has been making laws on compulsory education for 12 years that
will be started in the academic year 2013 and 2014. The laws is not separated from the role of
government, especially the education minister which aims to make children in Indonesia get
provisions for the better  future.There are some reasons and goals why the government wants to
apply the compulsory education program. Firstly, this is the step of the government to educate
the young generation which will be the next generation. The young generations are expected to
open up their mind. Because, the progress and development of the country are in the hands of the
youth who have high nationalism that will make our beloved Indonesia is better than before.

In addition to the existence of this education program, the government expects the children of
Indonesia will not be left behind with the newest information, science and technology that keep
growing and progressed along with the development of the days in this modern and advanced
world. Our young generation should be up-to-date about the newest knowledge.
Not only that, by the program of compulsory 12-year-education, the government indirectly have
reduced the number of Indonesian people who are illiterate, can not read, as well as writing.
Some of Indonesian societies are still illiterate. This can happen because in the past time they
were in low economy level and they preferred to find a job to get the money rather than to follow
education at school. According to their opinion, if they only study, they will be waste time. They
thought that they need money.

They chose to work to survive their lives. The government expects that there will be no
Indonesian people who are illiterate by the compulsory education program.This is an effort from
the government to advance the development of education in Indonesia. By obliging the young
generation to learn until 12 years, they are expected to get a worthy job or be able to continue
until university. Indirectly the government has taken a role in reducing unemployment in
Indonesia so that they can increase the welfare of their family and they have a better life in the
future.
The government makes this program of education for people who are in low economy level.
By the help from the government, the government hope that there is no child who does not go to
school due to the high cost. The government also gave grants to provide education places like the
aid of computers, books and other needs that can support the teaching and learning more
effective and efficient. The government provides help to make Indonesian education becomes
better than before and to compete with the other nations.
Those opinions can describe the efforts of the government for education in Indonesia by
having 12-year-compulsary education program, why can this be? The reason why the
government is trying to apply that program is of course for our young generations to be the agent
to develop and advance our country.
