Abstract
With the transition to the age of globalization, education has become a proactive way to
prepare the younger generation for the challenges of the times. You have to play your part. The
previous educational framework must also be adapted to the demands of the times. To meet this
challenge, many countries are beginning to implement education reforms. This article describes
education reform programs in two countries with different backgrounds, situations and
ideologies: Singapore and Indonesia. Education reform programs in Singapore include Teach
Less, Learn More. Thinking school, learning country, excellent school model. Meanwhile,
Indonesia's education reform policy has been implemented through the decentralization of
education under the administration of school units, credit-level curricula and his 2013
curriculum, and teacher certification programs. The results of the discussion show that Singapore
has successfully implemented education reform. This is evidenced by the quality of Singapore's
education, which ranks first in the ranking of countries with international educational standards.
Meanwhile, Indonesia still appears to be struggling to meet its educational reform goals. There is
no doubt that the differences in the results of implementing education in the two countries are
due to differences in the backgrounds, societies, economies, politics, cultures, and geographical
conditions of the two countries. From this, it can be concluded that many factors influence the
successful implementation of educational reforms in this country.
