Teachers can be Trusted and Followed
Guru, bisa digugu lan ditiru. In the Javanese philosophy, jarwa dhosok, a teacher is interpreted as someone who can be trusted and followed.
However, the respectful position of a teacher has fallen apart after reading the daily investigative report titled : Prospective Professors Involved in 'Joki' Scheme for Research Papers. A joki refers to a person who provides a service in the making of a scientific paper or other works in exchange for financial rewards.
The practice of a joki in the academic world in a number of public and private universities in Indonesia has occurred massively and systematically in making scientific papers for academic graduation requirements to apply for professorships in both public and private campuses.
