I
thank God for giving the health and time to share a knowledge on this historic
day, the day of national education.
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
Indonesia
is a big country, inhabited by hundreds of millions people includes islands spread
widely. We have been independent since 1945, but I think Indonesia is not yet
independent in terms of education. Although we have changed curricula almost
every year, but it proved that the Indonesian education has not been able to
compete with the developed countries. We tend to fall behind and have not been
able to print a great human resources class as developed countries.
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
I
tried to draw a line to the back, and I get the irony which is really
disappointing. In this very rich country, there are so many students drop out
of school, do not have a uniform, and swim to go to school because of the
broken bridge. It is an irony in the midst of our State assets.
Statistics
of school buildings damaged and have not been improved are also too much. It is
happening in the provinces that are far away from the center of government and
gives continuing negative effect on the education system in the province
itself.
Of
course, a child who does not get an education will have difficulties in
achieving a better stAndard of living in his future. You've seen that a lot of
ignorance and poverty arise because so many crimes arising from poverty.
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
Education
is a major key to get a better state order. Through proper and best education,
we are able to print high-quality human resources, eradicate ignorance, and
destroy poverty.
Therefore,
let us together to be students and teachers that are diligent, sincere, and
keep trying without the unyielding. We are Indonesia, a rich country that
should have the best education. Do not give up on the fate of our nation today,
and continues to struggle in gaining an independence education.
I
would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to convey these short
useful messages.
Thank
you for all the attention,
Wassalamualaikum

EDUCATION DAY SPEECH
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Ladies and gentlemen of the blessed.
Education to a nation that is being developed or being developed, is a very fundamental thing, because it concerns the quality of a nation. Because by means of a nation's education has been preparing cadres or the generations of the nation's ready-made, able to continue the ideals of the Indonesian nation that has been pioneered by our founding fathers, which is based on Pancasila and 1945 Constitution.
If we see in the fourth paragraph of the 1945 Constitution, there is explained that: the State of Indonesia is obliged to the intellectual life of the nation. Similarly, article 31 Constitution 45, paragraph 1 reads: Every citizen has the right to obtain instruction.
So in the day we commemorate National Education dated May 2 this year let us embodied in a tangible form atu basics concepts for educators who have been declared by Ki Hajar Dewantara as leader of the National Education, that a school that has been programmed by the government can be realized .
Similarly, my speech in order to welcome the day of national education, may be useful for us all.
So thanks for all the attention, and apologize for any shortcomings. Akhirul kalam,
Wassalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ..
