Reconstruction of Education

The biggest problem in educational development in Indonesia today is the wide gap between aspirations and realization, between what is voiced (voices) and the policy choices being implemented (choices).

Everyone knows the importance of education as the locomotive of the nation's progress, and almost everyone knows that there are many problems in our education. However, almost nobody knows how to deal with the various problems that exist.

The vision of Joko Widodo's administration in the second term, a determination to intensify human resource development, received enthusiastic responses as a discursive lure to end in disappointment as a practical manifestation. The changes introduced by the new education regime were so intense as a work of deconstruction, but still so dubious as a work of reconstruction.
