| Indonesia's education sinking further' |
|
Republika (05/10/04): Education in Indonesia still receives less than maximum attention from the government. Amidst tighter global competition, Indonesia's education isn't getting better but getting worse. The small subsidy budgeted by the government for education, a mere 9% or Rp4 trillion, is one of Indonesian education's many problems.
According to Rector Deputy I of Unisba, Dr ING I Suparno Satira, and educational problems also emerge from the communities themselves. “Low interest in reading among the young generation and the wrong views on by some people on education are also serious problems,” he said in a National Seminar entitled Society under Constellation of Indonesia’s Politic, Economy and Education held by Unisba in Bale Pakuan on Monday (4/10).
