        "summary": "The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has proposed a series of amendments to the National Education System Bill aimed at creating a more integrated and accountable governance framework. Key suggestions include clarifying the status of educational units run by central government bodies and introducing an 'asymmetric decentralisation' mechanism to allow central intervention in underperforming regions. The ministry emphasised that these measures are designed to uphold national quality standards and guarantee equitable access to education without undermining regional autonomy.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) has\nsubmitted a number of inputs regarding the management and provision of\nprimary and secondary education within the draft National Education\nSystem Bill (RUU Sisdiknas).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main focus we wish to convey is how to build an education\ngovernance system that is more integrated and accountable, yet still\nrespects the principle of educational decentralisation, as well as\nensuring equitable quality of education across all regions of\nIndonesia,\u201d said Toni Toharudin, Head of the Primary and Secondary\nEducation Policy Agency (BKPDM) at Kemendikdasmen, during a hearing with\nCommission X of the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>One of the proposals is a clearer regulation regarding the status of\neducational units organised by ministries, agencies, or the central\ngovernment within the national education system framework. He explained\nthat such regulation is crucial to prevent overlapping authority, whilst\nensuring all educational units remain within the same national quality\nsystem.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry is also seeking to retain the three main dimensions of\neducation system classification in the bill, namely pathways, levels,\nand types of education. He explained that education pathways consist of\nformal education, which is structured and tiered, and non-formal\neducation pathways, which serve as an alternative or complement to\nformal education. Meanwhile, education levels consist of early childhood\neducation, primary education, secondary education, and higher education.\nThe types of education include general, vocational, religious,\npesantren, and special education.<\/p>\n<p>The core principle behind these proposals, he said, is to provide\nlegal certainty regarding the structure of the national education\nsystem, whilst allowing flexibility for various forms of educational\nservices developing within society.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the ministry proposed a concept of asymmetric\ndecentralisation, which would allow the central government to\ntemporarily take over part or all education management authority if a\nregion fails to meet minimum service standards or experiences a\nsignificant lag in education quality. \u201cThe aim is not to reduce regional\nautonomy, but to serve as a corrective instrument so that the right of\nstudents to quality education services is guaranteed throughout\nIndonesia,\u201d said Toni Toharudin.<\/p>",
