Empowering Parents - Innovative Policies to Improve School Quality and Funding

The current education system in Indonesia has shown limited success. While it manages to widen participation access to allow primary students and junior secondary students to enjoy basic education, with figures reaching 99% and 94% respectively (BPS, 2015), it is the quality of education that has been of concern. With the budget size available for national education, improving the quality of education is the mandate of all parties concerned. The quality of education is below expectation as attested by a number of education quality measurement indices. There has been a significant drop in the average score in the national examination between 2015 and 2016, from 61.29 to 54.78 (Antaranews, 2016). Student performance in basic school subjects such as Mathematics and Science have also seen a decline as evidenced by research conducted by Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Progress in International Reading Literacy Studies (PIRLS), showing the national student performance lag behind that of other countries in the world. The budget allocation for education has also been under scrutiny, where there is a discrepancy between what is expected in the raising of Indonesian teacher salaries. The raise in salary does not actually correspond to a recorded improvement of teachers as suggested by De Ree J (2012). Findings from the World Bank that suggests most of the government spending on education went to teacher allowances, at $3.5 billion out of the total education spending of$7 billion. One of the possibilities for this discrepancy is identified in the absence of the empowerment of students and their parents. In many of the cases observed, parents are yet to voice their concern over the management of the educational system. Schools do not usually attend to the needs and suggestions of parents, as schools understand that they need only to report to the government agencies responsible for education. On the other hand, parents in private school demonstratemore power to participate in education systems as schools usually recognize their role as significant sources of funding for the school. This paper argues that in order to improve the school management and quality of education, the system of school financing needs to change. Students, represented by their parents, should have the liberty to control their finances and choose the schools deemed relevant to their own needs. By handing the power to choose to the hands of the parents/students, they can be held accountable for their own choice of education. By attaching education financing to the parents/students, it is argued that the students will have more power to choose which schools will give them better services and it will also bring more accountability to students as the real beneficiaries of education (Shah and Braun-Munzinger, 2006; Astle, S. Bryant, and C. Hotham,2011; Sjunnesson, 2012). This system has been implemented in several places with varying degrees of success, in countries such as the United States, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Chile. There are four types school choice programs, namely school vouchers, education saving accounts (ESA), tax credit scholarship and individual tax credits and deduction. This paper will review the advantages and disadvantages of this program, by drawing on someexamples of best practice from some of the countries mentioned above. However, this paper will introduce and discuss the first two forms of school choice; school vouchers and Education Saving Account (ESA), as the tax credit scholarship and individual tax credits and deduction schemes use a tax-based approach which would be difficult to be implement in Indonesia since the Indonesian tax system is not as advanced as developed countries. As a study of school choice programs aimed at providing policy recommendations for the improvement of education performance in Indonesia, this paper will start by discussing the concept of school choice including school voucher and ESA programs and their respective benefits to the education system. The second section will discuss the implementation of school vouchers and ESA program worldwide and analyze success stories as well as the shortcomings in the implementation of both programs as a lesson learned for Indonesia. The last section will present some policy recommendations in order to provide policy frameworks that suit the implementation of school choice programs

Low-cost private schools (A Case Study in Jakarta)

The existence of low-cost private schools providing accessible education to low-income families in developing countries has generated a special interest in research that measures the existence of such schools in Indonesia. Their affordable tuition fees as well as satisfying quality is arguably the better alternative for marginalized families to access formal education since government initiatives on education have limited success in providing good-quality and accessible education. This paper presents an initial study of low-cost private schools in Indonesia and covers the location, cost, and quality of some of these schools. It argues in the end that the government should encourage the creation of more low-cost private schools so that they create a competitive pressure on government schools to increase their performance and their operational efficiency. In 2015, the proportion of private schools in Jakarta reached 57.08 per cent of all of the total of 5.659 schools from primary level to secondary level. Contrary to the popular belief, not all of those private schools are exclusively for the upper middle class. Some of them even play a crucial role in providing formal education to families in impoverished areas. The low-cost private schools are considered accessible by poor parents in terms of their fees, distance, and enrollment requirements. Most of the schools charge inexpensive monthly tuition fees ranging from only Rp.30,000 to Rp.130,000 per student. Besides, the schools are located nearer to the students’ residence sparing their parents from additional transport costs and from worrying about their childrens’ safety when going to school. Enrollment requirements, such as birth certificates and minimum graduation scores for secondary schools, are less strict than in public schools and are another reason why low-cost private schools are considered accessible by Indonesian parents. Meanwhile, the average monthly operational cost per student in low-cost private schools is 34 per cent lower than in public schools within the same districts and low-cost private schools also do not provide lesser quality. Students in schools that were covered in this study had significantly better national exam scores in mathematics and only slightly lower reading skills than public schools

A Delayed Mathematical Model to break the life cycle of Anopheles Mosquito

In this paper, we propose a delayed mathematical model to break the life cycle of anopheles mosquito at the larva stage by incorporating a time delay τ at the larva stage that accounts for the period of growth or development to pupa. We prove local stability of the system’s equilibrium and find the critical values for Hopf bifurcation to occur. Also, we find that the system’s equilibrium undergoes stability switching from stable to periodic to unstable and vice versa when the time delay τ crosses the imaginary axis from the left half plane to the right half plane in the (Re,Im) plane. Finally, we perform some numerical simulations and the results agree well with the analytical analysis. This is the first time such a model is proposed

Memahami Desentralisasi dan Otonomi Khusus di Aceh

Kekhususan dan keistimewaan Aceh mengalami pasang surut dalam perjalanan ketatanegaraan republik Indonesia, berdasarkan Pasal 18B UUD 1945 dapat disebutkan bahwa daerah Aceh merupakan daerah istimewa dan khusus. Daerah istimewa terkait dengan kewilayahan yaitu keistimewaan dalam bidang agama, adat, pendidikan dan ulama sebagaimana diatur dalam UU No. 44 Tahun 1999, sedangkan daerah khusus terkait dengan pemerintahan, sebagaimana diatur dalam UU No. 11 Tahun 2006 (sebelumnya diatur dalan UU No. 18  Tahun  2001)  oleh  karena  itu Aceh   terdapat   2 (dua)   sebutan yaitu daerah istimewa dan daerah khusus, sehingga nama Aceh dapat disebutkan sebagai daerah khusus propinsi daerah istimewa Aceh.Otonomi daerah digulirkan untuk memastikan bahwa penyelenggaraan pemerintahan bersifat kontekstual, sesuai dengan variasi lokal.  Keberhasilan kebijakan otonomi  daerah,  pada  gilirannya,  tidak  cukup  diukur  dari  sejauh  mana  ketentuan perundang-undangan, peraturan-peraturan terimplementasikan. sejauhmana penyelenggaraan pemerintahan bersifat kontekstual, artinya,   sejauh mana pemerintahan setempat: (a) hirau (concern) terhadap nasib penduduk, (b) adaptif dengan perkembangan global,  (c)  memfasilitasi  perkembangan  penduduk  dln  segala  sector  dan  sebagainya. Setiap daerah harus kreatif dalam menangani sumber daya yang dimilikinya. Dalam penelitian ini mengugunakan kualitatif method (Creswell, 2008), dengan memberikan kuesioner kepada responden yang berjumlah 50 responden yang terdiri dari bebrapa individu mapun kelompok individu. Secara tidak langsung, otonomi daerah bisa menjadi salah satu alat mengatasi krisis. Peran serta aktif masyarakat dalam proses-proses pengambilan kebijakan pemerintahan,  sangat  diperlukan.  Pelaksanaan  otonomi  daerah  yang  telah  memasuki tahun  yang  ke  10  ternyata  belum  menghasilkan  peningkatan  kesejahteraan     yang signifikan. Hal ini disebabkab oleh keterbatasan dan kendala dalam pelaksanaan otonomi daerah.  Untuk  mencapai tujuan  pelaksanaan  otonomi daerah,  maka  pemerintah  pusat harus melakukan evaluasi mendasar dalam menstimulasi   pertumbuhan dan kemajuan sektor sektor di daerah daera

Studi Pemikiran Politik Islam: Membangun Siyasah ‘Adilah

Politics has various images. Some see politics as a dirty and deceitful exercise of power. But some see politics as a field of knowledge that is important for human well-being. In Islamic literature, politics or siyasa is always considered to have a positive side because it is related to human arrangements to realize benefit. One of the pillars of Islamic politics is justice or siyasa 'adilah. This study raises the aspect of sias 'adilah and unification with political concepts that are generally understood in the study of political science using the comparative-qualitative method. The findings of this study corroborate that just politics is the core of Islamic politics and Islam forbids tyrannical politics (siyasa dhalimah). By putting political practices and formulas in a combinatorial way between politics and siyasa, it is hoped that a new political formulation will emerge that emphasizes more on aspects of justice and benefit in politics, not just struggles for power and interests

The Impact of Equal Employment Opportunity-Affirmative Action in U.S. and New Economic Policy in Malaysia on Employment and Reverse Discrimination

Penggubalan polisi Equal Employment Opportunity-Affirmative Action (EEO-AA) bertujuan memastikan wujud keseimbangan peluang pekerjaan di antara kaum majoriti dan minoriti di Amerika Syarikat. Di Malaysia pula, Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB)diwujudkan bagi menyeimbangkan status ekonomi di antara pelbagai etnik. Kajian ini pertamanya bertujuan untuk menganalisis sejauhmana EEO-AA dan DEB dapat mencapai matlamat untuk menyeimbangkan peluang pekerjaan di Amerika Syarikat dan juga status ekonomi antara etnik di Malaysia. Keduanya, untuk menganalisis sama ada EEO-AA dan DEB ini menyebabkan berlakunya “reverse discrimination”. Hasil kajian mendapati EEO-AA hanya memberi impak yang kecil kepada golongan minoriti di Amerika Syarikat. Di Malaysia pula, DEB telah berjaya meningkatkan jumlah partisipasi Bumiputera di dalam pelbagai sektor. Manakala kedua-dua polisi tidak menyebabkan berlakunya “reverse discrimination”
