Education is not yet considered investment<\/p>\n
All citizens have the right to a proper education, which, in a
\ndismal economy such as ours, is something of a luxury. Not all
\nchildren of school age can afford to go to school, especially
\ngood schools, even if they are of high intelligence.<\/p>\n
At present, access to good-quality tuition is not only
\nstrictly controlled by state universities but also privately run
\nkindergartens, and junior and senior high schools. To register
\ntheir children for an approved kindergarten, parents have to pay
\nmillions of rupiah, not to mention good-quality universities.<\/p>\n
With that much money at stake, only children of well-off
\nfamilies have the opportunity to receive a good education. So
\nwhat about those from low-income families?<\/p>\n
The quality of education is determined by a number of factors,
\nincluding methodology, structure and infrastructure, as well as
\nthe quality of the teachers. We all acknowledge that funding has
\nbecome the main constraint in education today and this leads to
\ninferior human resources.<\/p>\n
In many developed countries education is considered an
\ninvestment, so that students, including university students, are
\nhave access free of charge to tuition.<\/p>\n
