Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh…

The Honorable All of the judges

And for all the audience.

Before I begin to give a speech, I would like to invite you all to thank Allah the Almighty, Who has
given us Mercies and Blessings, so we can meet together in this blessing place. And also let’s deliver
sholawat and salam to our prophet Muhammad SAW, Who has brought us from the darkness to the
brightness, so we are always in the right path.

Good morning, on this happy occasion, I want to deliver a speech about education. As we know,
education plays an important role for the progress of a nation. If the education of the people is left
behind, then the population will experience difficulties in adapting and facing pressure from the
outside world. Therefore, it is not surprising that the government holds many programs to support the
progress of education in Indonesia, one of which is by allocating large amounts of funds, so the
dropout rate can be reduced and more students can get the right to education.

Actually, education can not only be obtained at school. Even outside of school we can use technology
to access education. Take advantage of an online platform that can be accessed for free to get free
knowledge from various parts of the world, so that we can compete with the people out there.
Developing countries are also very concerned about the quality of the education of their people, so it
is not surprising that the quality of campus abroad is quite good, even many Indonesians decide to
gain knowledge out there.

Thus, we must learn to be able to catch up, especially if we have not yet had the opportunity to
distribute education.

Wasalamualaikum warohmatullahiwabarakatuh…..

Selamat pagi, pada kesempatan yang berbahagia ini, saya ingin menyampaikan pidato tentang
pendidikan. Seperti yang kita tahu, pendidikan memegang peranan penting untuk kemajuan sebuah
bangsa. Jika pendidikan rakyatnya tertinggal, maka penduduknya pun akan mengalami kesulitan
dalam beradptasi dan menghadapi tekanan dari dunia luar. Oleh karena itu, tidak mengherankan jika
pemerintah mengadakan banyak program untuk menunjang kemajuan pendidikan di Indonesia, salah
satunya dengan mengalokasikan dana cukup besar, sehingga angka putus sekolah bisa ditekan dan
lebih banyak siswa bisa mendapatkan hak atas pendidikan.

Sebenarnya, pendidikan tidak hanya bisa didapatkan di sekolah saja. Ketika berada di luar sekolah
pun kita sudah bisa menggunakan teknologi untuk mengakses pendidikan. Manfaatkanlah platform
online yang dapat diakses secara gratis untuk mendapatkan pengetahuan gratis dari berbagai
belahan dunia, sehingga kita bisa bersaing dengan masyarakat di luar sana. Negara berkembang
pun sangat memperhatikan kualitas pendidikan masyarakatnya, sehingga tidak mengherankan jika
kualitas kampus di luar negeri cukup bagus, bahkan banyak orang Indonesia memutuskan untuk
menimba ilmu di luar sana.

Dengan demikian, kita harus belajar untuk bisa mengejar ketertinggalan, apalagi jika saat ini kita
belum mendapatkan kesempatan pemerataan pendidikan.
