Four smart students from SMAN 2 Payakumbuh, SMAN 1 Harau, and SMAN 1 Situjuah Limo Nagari, Limapuluh City, threatened not to register and attend the University of Andalas University of Riau, because of economic limitations. Who cares? (Padang Ekspres, July 5, 2011).
Education Indonesia is now entering a new phase. A phase called commercialization of education. In these stages of education becomes an unattainable expensive commodity. Especially universities both private and public. After 65 years of independence, education not only as a means of intellectual life of the nation. But to reap the maximum profit for certain parties over the money to go to college.
When observed money into State College (PTN) was not less expensive than existing private colleges. At the private setting of money to go to college is expensive, we still can not understand it because the private sector assisted by the state in funding issues. But the really ironic if PTN also set the money into an expensive thing. PTN in conducting education, aided by state funding. Then who can blame? The college as a policy maker to go to college or state money that is not fully able to finance state universities?
Education Discrimination
The money went to college currently reaches tens of millions of dollars. For example in Unand (where the author studying). Since 2009, Unand have set up a new policy that requires students to pay institutional development fund (money of development, ed) Rp1 million to Rp22, 5 million outside of tuition and others. If the calculated receipts Unand between Rp 5 million to 25 million. Even for independent lines or extensions reach Rp65 million for a faculty of dentistry. A considerable amount. In fact, based on the writer's observation that money did not clear its use.
Reality Unand money into an expensive college into a tangible proof that education is expensive and difficult to reach. Each year the cost will increase as the need or interest in public education. In college buying and selling any applicable law. Where more and more demand, then the rising supply price. That is, the more interested the more expensive college entrance money. Resulting education can only be felt by a handful of people who are economically well-established and able to compete for the "purchase price" of education. Are children of farmers, laborers and other lower classes can compete? Although the science they are more intelligent.
While education can only be felt a few people, it gives birth to the so-called educational discrimination. Discrimination is a violation of human rights. The right to education without discrimination in the right of every citizen. There is no distinction between the poor and the rich. The Constitution has also guarantee in Article 31 Paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution.
Return to Ideals
One purpose of the state of Indonesia is for the intellectual life of the nation. A lofty ideals that exist in the mind after a 3.5-century founding fathers occupied. Where the people of Indonesia can not be received his education bench. Education is considered a social status for people distinguished. Children pribumipun twit finally experiencing en masse. Only groups that could feel the bench ningratlah education. Conditions even this day we return to the Dark Ages of Indonesia centuries ago. But the right to education, we are no longer colonized by a foreign nation. Actually colonized by the authorities in their own country. Elite education will aim to forget that the country was due to be swayed by greed and power momentarily.
Unwittingly expensive college entrance money will slowly bring Indonesia to the brink of collapse of education. Education has been used as a wetland to make a profit. Noble ideals of education eroded by people who are irresponsible. Education began to shift into a commodity that can be traded. The price will continue to rise in accordance with market demand. Gradually we will be increasingly left behind by other countries in the field of education. Even though newly independent states.
To prevent this happening need to re-noble kecita this bansa. Returns lofty ideals are shared duty of citizens, especially government and educational institutions. States must carry out its obligations to fund education. Although the government's obligations only up to primary education but the government has an obligation to the future to finance all educational levels as agreed with the countries in the world.
Hope for Sumatra
Almost every year sounds that pass achievement must bury their dreams because of constrained state university entrance fees. In fact they are the best in school. However, family economic circumstances make it let go. This too, is often the case in West Sumatra.
Seeing this condition, the state university in West Sumatra should be started first. Reverse the college as a moral institution. Rather than become the frontline in commercializing education. By utilizing education as a traded commodity. Keep in mind, West Sumatra has delivered the intellectuals who served the nation as M Hatta Indonesia, Buya Hamka, Agus Salim, Natsir and Sjahrir. How can these figures be reborn as a smart but poor children deprived result of campus policy that sets college money expensive? Especially in West Sumatra, most people just live as farmers. Should they sell the rice to see his son became scholar? (*)
