Legal Foundation of Education in Indonesia
Hello Reader!
Now I'm back with a different title, that's the Legal Foundation of Education in Indonesia.Before we discuss further,do you know what is Legal Foundation?
The legal foundation can be interpreted as a standard regulation as a place of departure or starting point in carrying out certain activities,in this case educational activities.The Legal basis of education in Indonesia is found in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution in the fourth paragraph in which :"......educate the life of the nation......". and article relating to education in the 1945 Constitution are only two articles,namely articles 31 and 32,Articles 31 regulates education the government's obligation to finance 9 years compulsory education in elementary and junior high schools,education budget of at least 20% of the state budget and regional budget,and the system national education.While article 32 regulates culture. Other laws are contained in Law No.20 of 2003 about National Education System article 1.Compulsory education is a minimum education program that must be followed by Indonesian citizens on the responsibility of the Government and Regional Government.
The importance of knowledge causes the importance of education in
seeking that knowledge.This invites the importance of escort to guarding
the course of education so that it runs well.The relationship between
education and law can be said very closely.Educational observers will
surely aspire to how education can run well and to support educational
existence so a law that regulates education law is made so that it
becomes a norm and also a benchmark for the education system.In
education it will look better if there are written laws in regulating
the education system,and the law also requires an education in its
development.
We
know,there is already an Indonesian education law,but there are still
many children who do not go to school and drop out of school.This
indicates that the education law that requires twelve years of
compulsory education is only a rhetoric.Even though this program has been discussed for a long time,but it has not been directed further.Actually,In this case,The Government has not been optimal in resolving this issue.Coupled with conservative society and not knowing about the law itself.Then,some of them consider that education is not important.So,here The Government needs a guiding figure,namely competent teachers.So now,the teacher has been guaranteed welfare by The Government in article 14 of 2005.With the guarantee of teacher welfare,teacher as implementers of education should pay attention to these government policies.For this reason,the teacher's duties,both directly and indirectly,must support all government policies and be able to keep abreast of developments and changes in government policies.
Teachers are not only limited to understanding the provisions in the form of key laws in the field of education but also other provisions such as the constitution MPR provisions (GBHN), presidential decrees,government regulations,even curricula determined by ministerial decrees and teacher ethics codes.That provision is the legal basis or legislation to realize educational activities.
So,those all are my opinion about legal foundation of education in Indonesia.Thanks for reading :)
