Education in Indonesia in the Struggle of Global Capitalism

Abstract

Education, a term that has become characteristic by its level of wealth. It's no longer a public secret in this country that access to higher education is the right of the rich. Because, how can it be, reaching higher education for middle people down to the bottom is like a dream in the daylight. The society of this social class must first strike the pockets of no small quantity. Rather than schooling their children in the midst of a crunchy economic situation, these social groups prefer to prevail in the hope of not educating their children.

Especially as the sacred momentum enters the new year of teaching. Some take a deep breath as they enter the wetlands of education, some just witness as they deepen their hopes. This is the story of education in this country. A story that will only end happily, on condition of having plenty of money.

One way to realize a truly liberating vision of education that is now under the veil of capitalism is not an easy thing. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible. An attempt to create a different education system, as a means of counteracting the strength of the dominance of the ongoing system, is essential. Because capitalism always eats every minute of it and it is now being facilitated well by educational institutions. This is a task that must and must always be thought of, fought, reconsidered, and re-fought, in an integral unity – as an active subject facing directly the complexity of reality.

The dominance of the capitalist system in education needs to be tackled dialectically. That is, when the domination of the system seeks to reproduce its dominance, then opposing tasks need to be done to counter that domination.
