Hello everybody, in this opportunity I will share a little
about my ideas about education to build a better future for all.
But first, what is education?? Many people think that
education is only study. In school, university, on book etc. We just listen to
teacher who explain the lesson, do many homeworks and test to get a good score.
Education is not only about knowledge, not to have a good
score, not only to change an ignorance to be knowledgeable, but to build people
with character. Education is to create people with good skill, character, and attitude.
An ideal education not only from lesson by teacher, a lot of
task, a lot of test. Whats the purpose if we are smart but our character is
bad? Many people in goverment who have an intelligence but they have not
character. So what? Finally they are do a graft/corruption. In my mind, an
ideal education need an education program that can create people character.
Honestly I don’t too agree with education in Indonesia,
especially curriculum 2013. I know that curriculum 2013 give priority to
affective and the competence that will reach are attitude, skill and knowledge,
but this curriculum is more give us pressure. Beside a lot of task that we got,
we as students are more emphasize to study autodidact. This curriculum also
make us miss much time to gather with my family and friends. It is just my
opinion, why we have to sit in the class for 7-8 hours if we can study at home
a day full and enjoy our family’s warmth? :(
Beside education, there are several things that accompany
education to have a better future, like social intercourse. This is will create
character, attitude, and our action. How to assort with friends is have to
bring you to future that you want. We have to choose and sort them. Don’t
choose the wrong way! And dicipline is also the key to reach bettter future etc.
Education is not to vouch people’s fate, but education vouch
how people think. So character is the most important thing to build a better
future. Knowledge is power but character is more!
