Jurnal Nasional, Page 31

Thousands of private school teachers in Depok demanded their incentives from the Depok City Administration. Unfortunately, no law has been made regarding this matter despite the fact that private school teacher incentives and budget allocations for private school developments were hoped to be an alternative in providing education equality among private and public schools in the nation.

Deputy Chairman of the Depok Legislative Assembly, Naming D. Bothin, plans to propose a law be created on this issue to the Ministry of Education and Ministry. He stated that an incentive of IDR 750,000 per year is inhumane and IDR 200,000 per month should be given to these teachers, providing that the regional budget can afford it.

Date from the Private Teacher’s Deliberation Board (BMPS) records there are 25,400 private teachers in Depok while the Depok City Administration only records around 11,000 private teachers.

Jurnas, p 31

Belasan ribu guru swasta di Depok meminta agar mereka memperoleh tunjangan dari Pemerintah Kota Depok. Namun saat ini peraturan yang mengatur soal hal itu masih belum dibuat. Insentif guru swasta dan alokasi anggaran pembangunan sekolah swasta diharapkan menjadi alternatif pemerataan pendidikan antara sekolah swasta dan negeri.

Wakil Ketua DPRD Naming D Bothin berencana mengusulkan payung hukum kepada kementerian. Sebenarnya masalah kesejahteraan guru swasta terbengkalai lantaran  Dinas Pendidikan tidak fokus kepada sumber daya manusia (SDM) guru disebabkan mengurusi juga pembangunan sekolah.

The Central Government will no longer use the percentage of the National Nxam Pass Rate as a base for regional intervention. Interventions on education policies will now be based on the education competency index. Director General for Basic Education at the Ministry of Education and Culture, Hamid Muhammad, said the Education Competency Index will be measured based on an analysis of school subjects, up until an analysis on each student. This includes which subjects included in the National Exams are deemed the weakest.

Up until now, the Average National Education Competency Index is 60.58. The highest index was achieved by East Java at 69.77 while the lowest was in Maluku at 46.28. Hamid stated no province showed an index of over 70 which indicates that the National Education Competency Index must be increased.

Minister of Education and Culture Mohammad Nuh said his Ministry has used an analysis method to evaluate the competency of each subject included in the National Exams in order to boost the credibility of these exams. The Ministry has focused on four points to help boost the credibility of the exams. First, the questions in the exam must reflect the actual competence of the student. Second, the technical implementation. Third, the monitoring system. Fourth, the evaluation of the National Exams.

Sindo, p 4

Pemerintah pusat tidak akan melihat persentase kelulusan ujian nasional (UN) sebagai dasar intervensi ke daerah. Intervensi kebijakan pendidikan akan dilakukan melalui indeks kompetensi pendidikan.

Dirjen Pendidikan Dasar (Dikdas) Kemendikbud Hamid Muhammas mengatakan, indeks kompetensi pendidikan dianalisa melalui mata pelajaran, bahkan sampai pada tiap individu peserta didik. Saat ini indeks rata-rata nasional adalah 60,58.

Mendikbud M Nuh mengatakan, pemerintah memang ingin mengangkat kredibilitas UN menggunakan metode analisis khusus. Empat hal untuk meningkatkan kredibilitas UN antara lain, soal ujian harus dapat mencerminkan kompetensi anak secara riil, sistem pelaksanaan teknis, sistem pengawasan, dan evaluasi UN melalui penilaian.
