Indonesian Education Index Lower than Philippines, Ethiopia

.
Jakarta | Sat, March 25, 2017
     A recent study commissioned by the Network for Education Watch Indonesia
(JPPI) reveals the index of education services in Indonesia in 2016 ranks lower
than the Philippines and Ethiopia.
     The Right to Education Index (RTEI) research shows that from indicators
measured in the survey, which comprise education governance, availability,
accessibility, acceptability and adaptability, Indonesia scores 77 percent.
      The indicates that the quality of education in Indonesia is at the same level
with Honduras and Nigeria but lower than the Philippines (81 percent) and
Ethiopia (79 percent)

      The JPPI says three strategic issues need closer attention. These issues include
teachers’ quality, child-unfriendly schools and discrimination against marginalized
groups.
      It further says Indonesia’s low score in terms of the quality of teachers is a
result of the unbalance ration on the availability of teachers especially in
outermost and secluded areas across the country. Results of a test held in 2016
show that the competency of teachers in Indonesia is still below standard.
     Many schools in Indonesia are considered to still have a child-unfriendly
environment due to the rise in reports on violence, both physical and non-
physical, at school. Cases of bullying, physical violence and sexual violence against
school children have emerged so often in mass media.
