Loss of Value and sustainability of Education in Indonesia

Education is something that can not be separated from human life because education is a necessity. With education, people could live to be a real human being, which can be valued by other humans and not equated with animals. Education may be accepted one starts from birth until the end of his life. However, in stages, not a few people who did not get a proper education in accordance with the age. Not only that, the development of education itself also has obstacles that lead to the loss of educational value in a person (for example, about the moral and budipekerti education, religious education, culture and education). This is a case to worry about and get attention from the existing educational system, because if an educational value really missing in a person, then after he reached the mature stage, the possibility to bring it up again would be very difficult and need extra encouragement to those elements can be merged with one's personality.

Then, how to have an educational value can continue to cling to one's personality?. It's quite difficult, because external factors also play a role and take part in the development of one's education, but the most possible way is with a large participation from families, as well as formal education as the stimulus.

As we all know that one's initial character is formed from the subsequent family environment changes due to other factors. Easy or not receiving an education value depends on the person itself. The more he has a sense of great curiosity and diligent in seeking knowledge, the more easily the value of education received by the person. For example, the relationship between the value of education provided to the world of formal education (eg primary schools). The students who have a sense of great curiosity and diligent in study on a subject (such as the art lessons Jakarta), will have more knowledge about the arts Jakarta compared with friends who are lazy to learn that cultural education he received at At the same time tend to cling to these students. Thus, it can be said that an educational value can be easily embedded in the soul when through formal education, because there the place to study broadly and deeply, and places to explore in more intense material. However, formal education will not run effectively if not supported by the formation of good character by the beginning of formal education (in this case is the family).

However, if the educational values that have been embedded in a person will remain strong throughout life? Of course the answer is no!. This is the problem of global attitudes to and need to look for solutions to some educational value that had attached to a person will persist over time. Simply put, rarely even no one is a small period is a very honest person, but after years of living in 'black areas' (ie the association of thieves, robbers), and always communicate with the residents 'black areas', remains a a very honest person like the days of his childhood. Because the influence of environment was the attitude of honesty is faded. Therefore, in order for a value of education can remain attached to a person, it is necessary to sustainability in the process. Sustainability value of informal education in the world until the end of the ladder will be difficult to find if the person does not seek and find the right channel to continue the educational value of the initiative meant that the attitude is to be grown in this era by each individual (except when existing educational system towards a change of perfection while maintaining the value of education until the end of the ladder).

We may review together the past, times when we become members of the group playing kindergarten. There the place we play, sing, dance, free expression issue, free berkreatifitas to develop the existing potential. This we do because we are still stepping on a very early age, and the proper way of teaching is to be given the freedom, but it is directed. In that time, also taught good manners, etiquette, appreciation, compassion, prayer, prayer, counting, how to use the spoken Indonesian well, a few simple words in English, introduced the culture of Indonesia , and others. This educational values that should be inculcated from the early start education for sustainability in case of inter-level, no information gaps.

For instance in the case of application of the reading of prayers together. From kindergarten through high school, always apply the reading of a prayer before beginning to study and after completion of each day. Therefore, the attitude timbulah used when we stepped on the college level. While in kindergarten through high school reading of prayers are always carried out together, in unison between teachers and students, but when we entered the college level, reading the prayer no longer need to be reminded by the teacher, because at that time we have entered into the adult stage . This is natural. Ketidakbersinambungan it happened because it was supposed to be on each individual aware, by reading the prayer in the heart, so that the application of these prayers tailored to age and stage of development.

Another example is the provision of a stimulus on the English language. We accept stepping been eating kindergarten to college. Unfailing international language is given in each level. But the question, Why sustainability when the lines of the English language at every level of education does not end but still there are people who do not drop out of school still can not get in English? The answer was brief, because the fault lies from within yourself (as a receiver, as well as the stimulus). In the case of a receiver, probably the person does not follow a given material, does not listen carefully so that the material given the English language such as wind, or due to lack of accumulated and not been addressed so that the loss of enthusiasm for learning English, and will be blind English even though the media has had to learn English. Whereas in the case as the giver, in this case because the teacher is teaching factors that are not comfortable to be given to students so that students become not understand. If this condition, there must be the student reporter from the obligation to accommodate the criticism of teachers how to teach so the teacher can evaluate themselves and improve their teaching. However, if no, then an alternative path that can be selected as the student is looking for other media so that knowledge of the English language they can grow. One way is by following the non-formal education, the English-language lessons.
Later after kindergarten, we stepped Elementary School. In contrast to the kindergarten, the elementary school has started given a more complex matter and lead. For example the fractions, science lessons, social lessons and others. As mentioned above, in this period are also taught about Indonesian culture, because our country's culture is very diverse and so unique that it needs to be preserved, especially by the younger generation, who learned the lesson Kesenian Jakarta. A deeper lesson began to be accepted as students sat in 3rd grade elementary school. Various kinds of knowledge such as traditional houses, local clothing, folk games, traditional foods, songs and dances given by the teacher area. Folk games, folk songs and dances practiced immediate area is also causing a pleasant atmosphere and provoke curiosity is greater than the students.

After taste was incurred, it was time we had to step on the Junior High School. What is alarming is great curiosity obtained from elementary level, gradually decreased, since the learning culture itself mengenaik held only in the classroom, although occasionally made a visit to see traditional houses. But because Indonesia is a rich culture that is only owned by the Indonesian people, then it must be really inherent in the students. Learning culture wrapped in a pile of material accompanied by the occasional visit is not enough. Culture is an outcome that works in desperate need of action learning practices. In these circumstances the value of cultural sustainability lines began vulnerable.

Coupled with the condition in high school, where the global culture and modernization was attached to the self of each student (except for students who can protect themselves against the global evil influences). So that Indonesia's own culture is rarely to be noticed. Despite Art & Dance lessons, still not effective given the meeting only once a week and lessons, and assignments tend theory. Media and the means to seek additional knowledge about the culture of Indonesia is also rare to find that students become stuck in a controlled culture of Indonesia. The situation is far more boring than the junior high school. This is happening on the value of cultural discontinuity. Necessary to reform the education system in this case. Lately bloom once talked about the 'culture of Indonesia stolen by other countries'. With the case of the government should make changes to the existing education system. If the sensitivity of the government to truly protect Indonesian culture, young people should be given to optimal as possible. We do not need to see the education system in a foreign country that is always biased towards the mastery of basic knowledge of their country. In Indonesia, Indonesian Culture should also be included into basic science, like mathematics, Indonesian language, English (general); physics, chemistry, biology; economics, sociology, history. Discontinuity of the Indonesian culture to be very fatal consequences of the study group while kindergarten and primary school level was not singing a 'good' for their age, particularly folk songs. And this situation has occurred. If at the stage where students are supposed to deepen the spirit of Indonesian culture alone is not particularly care about the next stages of getting a boring teaching of Indonesian culture. Gradually, this situation will lead towards a loss of cultural values and culture of Indonesia will be threatened his position.
After going through high school level (high school), then we came, as students changed the status of a student, enters the university level. Most of the student or the student is a stage where a student is not a regular student, but extraordinary. Intellectual, competence, tenacity, discipline, modesty, maturity of the students are actually implemented, because it is the last stage in the level of education to the world of work. Actions contribute to politics also have been released but still in accordance with the rules. Students can be considered as a reformer daam political system in Indonesia, because the thinking of the students who put together a clever idea that seeks to build the Indonesian nation to a better direction again. Thus, in this case, the values of education provided been eating kindergarten level, continually developing and sustaining continued until the college level. However, not all students are like that, there are also leading towards brutality after expressing ideas to the government, and the attitudes of students who do not like a student but as a senior who thought it was decent power (referred to here is freely and without control) thus free to behave arbitrarily (let's call it 'brutal student'). And in that case, the 'brutal students' not having sustainability bottom line value of education a student from the previous level. Supposedly, the existence of 'brutal student' can be minimized because it will only be a 'parasites' for the country, not to be the reformer.

Thus the educational values have been removed in such a way. What's important is how we, as future educators to be able to provide solutions and minimize the loss of the value of education for generations to come, and how to find us to be able to seek sustainability values education itself. This should be our concern as to the existence of prospective Indonesian educators can further ahead again in accordance with what we expect together.
