If there are damaged school buildings, inadequate salaries for contract teachers, poor learning outcomes, and increasingly difficult access to education during the Covid-19 pandemic, who can the people turn to and demand that they take responsibility?
It is urgent to clarify who in the field of education has responsibility today to keep our national education system to be intact, sustainable, democratic, and free of conflicts of interest. Since the issuance of Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Governments, which divides the authority over managing state education affairs between the central and regional governments, the stance on delivering education responsibility has become increasingly ambiguous.
