Political Business of Education in Indonesia

The title above, this represents my subjective view of the process of national education system graduasi Indonesia. If education in the colonial era and aims to build on the Indonesian people freed from colonialism, then today it has moved education into a business product. This is reflected in the base history of colonization that began in colonial times Portuguese, Dutch to Japanese.

Under the Education System of colonization

Political education in those days, of course depart from the interests of the ruler. The extent to which the needs and interests of the authorities, so far mainset also dipraktekken education system. Education is reduced to an effective tool to perpetuate the occupation of thousands, even millions of people of Indonesia. Education in those days, was made in stages. Discrimination occurs in the open. Education does not apply to all circles and is only based on the degree of class. Education for Dutch children take precedence and be made more secure and special. While for indigenous children, in addition to very limited, also has a quality that is much lower and improvise. When referring to the situation of patron relationship between colonial and indigenous, the Dutch education policy is more directed to qualified tesedianya's ability to meet the knowledge of cheap labor for the colonial rulers.
