Indonesia Educational System should create Entrepreneurs, Not Job Seekers

“Students should be encouraged to create jobs instead of looking for ones” says Presiden Sby. Couldn’t agree more with President SBY on this. Don’t forget, however, that encouragement should not  come only from the educational system, it also should come from the parents of the students. Thus, educating the parents is no less importants too.

How many young talented Indonesian who have wasted their entrepreneurship talent only to be a PNS (pegawai negeri sipil or public servants) because of their parents ‘indoctrination’?

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called on National Education Minister to revise the Indonesian educational system starting from kindergarten to senior high school.

“A proper way should be designed to avoid the students from aiming only at final marks,” he said on Thursday, Oct 29, in Jakarta.

According to Mr Yudhoyono, the old methodology will not improve the zest and innovative thinking of the students during 12 years of their study. “Should the method is improvised, we could in the future encourage them to create jobs instead of looking only for one,” he said.
