Law on foundation

Law on foundation

From Republika

Whatever the results of the next Kaliurang meeting in
Yogyakarta are, the issue of Arief Budiman should be able to
serve as an "eye opener" in the effort to improve the system of
"Foundations."

We understand that in order to complete the working system of
a foundation, the House of Representatives will shortly discuss a
bill on Foundations. The law should include details on how a
foundation which deals with education should be managed.

We know from experience how an educational foundation can take
arbitrary action against teachers, students or parents. The
founders of the foundation seemingly have absolute authority so
that they can do whatever they wish, often adopting the principle
of "take it or leave it." This sort of behavior of the
foundation should be terminated and the government should
exercise effective supervision on the foundation.

The three parties -- foundation, teachers and students and
parents -- should become equals that have common rights and
responsibilities in the policies and execution of the educational
programs.
