Unemployed graduate

Unemployed graduate

From Republika

I am a graduate of the School of Teachers Training and
Educational Science, majored in educational administration, at
the University of Bengkulu. I call on Minister of Education and
Culture Wardiman Djojonegoro to show me the way to find a job so
that I do not become a criminal, a thief, or even a murderer,
just to be able to survive.

Why is there no chance for graduates of educational
administration to work in the Department of Education and Culture
anywhere in Indonesia? Please, tell me what to do? Like other
colleagues, I succeeded in completing my study at the university
at the cost of our family rice field, garden and cattle. Now
there is nothing left for me to run a business, as a contractor
or a broker.

We remember officials of the Education and Culture in Bengkulu
advising us to choose the subject because it is in great demand.
And that the graduates would be recruited as civil servants after
graduation. But it turned out to be an empty promise.

I have great desire to dedicate myself to the nation, but how?
The nation seems to have no interest in employing me. Again, I
would like the Minister of Education and Culture to comment about
this.
