SEMARANG - MICOM: Prof. Eko Budihardjo Observer assess education, education gap is a serious problem in Indonesia was limited in urban areas with rural areas.
"If urban and rural obvious gaps, but the quality of education between schools in the city was actually also looks lame, including in Semarang," said Eko, a former Rector of Diponegoro University Semarang, Semarang, Sunday (3 / 7).
He said, until now it has not happened even distribution of quality education, both in terms of teaching staff, facilities, infrastructure, until the students who would become the future generation.
Schools are good quality because it has a competent faculty, facilities, and intelligent students, he said, the better, while schools whose quality is just the opposite.
"Schools are being or lack of good quality will be worse. It's less competent teaching staff, facilities are lacking, students are less well academically," he said.
He said the government should adjust the equalization quality of education, beginning teachers, facilities, which in itself will create equality of education between schools in a region.
"There should be equity, spread qualified teachers to schools, including school quality is less, so that they can spur his fellow teachers to improve their competence," he said.
If the existing distribution like that, he says, schools that quality is not by itself be able to improve its quality, and able to produce graduates who are qualified and competent."Selama ini masih terpusat, hanya sekolah-sekolah tertentu yang relatif bagus yang menghasilkan lulusan pandai, karena senjata mereka lengkap, namun bagaimana dengan sekolah-sekolah pinggiran," katanya.
Ia mengakui, persaingan prestasi antarsekolah sangat perlu untuk terus memacu peningkatan kualitas pendidikan, namun persaingan yang terjadi harus disiapkan secara adil.
"Kalau seperti sekarang ini, bagaimana sekolah-sekolah pinggiran harus bersaing dengan sekolah favorit. Untuk mendapatkan siswa-siswa yang potensial saja mereka pasti sudah kalah lebih dulu," kata Eko. (Ant/OL-2)
