Education problems

Education is an essential development for human resources. Improvement the

quality of education will lead to the creation of high-quality human resources and enable
the acceleration of the process of national development.
The vast majority of Indonesia citizens have only completed part of the nine-year
compulsory education programme, with 33,42% finishing elementary school and 16,65%
junior high. Only 16,17% complete senior high school (including vocational high school)
and a tiny percentage (3,39%) are higher education graduates (academy and university).
According to Indonesian statistic 2003, most Indonesians are aware of the
importance of an elementary school education in starting their children off in life. But
school attendance declines sharply by junior high school, falling to only 63,5%, it slumps to
only 40,6% by senior high school, and only 8,6% of students continue to college of which a
mere 3% graduate.
There are many reasons children aged 7 – 18 years old cannot attend school or drop
out. The major factor is the lack of funds for tuition (67%); second highest was other
reasons (15,8%) followed by children having to work to support themselves or their
families. (Central al bureu of statistic, 2003).
