Improving the Quality of Education Without RSBI

            Decision deletion stubs International Standard School (RSBI) by the Constitutional Court (MK) will inevitably lead to the pros and cons, depending on who is looking at her. For organizers RSBI schools, surely the decision against his conscience, oppose limited in my heart because if physically oppose certainly will not be done for fear considered unlawful. RSBI organizers already are in a comfort zone in a relatively long time, especially the facilities and funding, so the news is granted by the Court demands removal RSBI upset many schools with RSBI label. Meanwhile, those who oppose the existence of the initial SBI / RSBI welcomed the decision of the Court.
            When in 2011 the government announced that the government stop issuing new permits pioneering international school (RSBI) and the government is evaluating 1,329 elementary, junior high, and high school / vocational status RSBI whose licenses granted in 2006-2010 gave a signal to the community and education observers at the time that there is something wrong in the management of RSBI. Ministry of National Education (MONE) found the use of budgetary irregularities by international school (RSBI). In fact, 50 percent of the budget in RSBI been abused (Okezone.com/14/3/2011).RSBI deletion will not affect the government's efforts to increase the quality of national education, because most of the schools that berlebel RSBI already from the beginning is featured schools in their respective regions. It is too much to have the opinion that if the quality of education will be deleted RSBI decreased significantly.This country requires a good quality school and on par with other countries, so there is no longer the parents who choose to send their children to Malaysia just because they think schools in Indonesia there is no quality. If the school management with RSBI models were considered had failed to improve the quality of education especially in the field of educational equity, to look for a new model school system that is able to improve the quality of education on an international scale and does not violate the law. Need to study before realizing that the desire of creating a school based on the delivery of international quality education so that does not happen again as RSBI removal cases.There are fears the former state schools RSBI / SBI will not compete with private schools which implement international schools by way of cooperation with overseas schools. Trend revival of private schools in the quality of public schools is enough to make the former RSBI need to work hard to remain the top choice of parents to educate their children. There is an interesting phenomenon in recent years of the existence of private schools, especially those based on religion, especially in large cities, began to be the first choice of parents to send their children, although they had to indent with very expensive for most people. Does this mean, any public school labeled now no longer attractive to parents, especially those that are economically at the level of the upper middle? Or, just because of the content and packaging that schools provide enough servings charges of religious faith with the intention of providing sustenance for their students, which makes the parents are interested in?If you look at what was said by the former Deputy Minister of Education, Fasli Road in 2011 was interesting. Fasli Jalal said, RSBI receives funding from the central government, provincial, and fees from parents. However, the budget is not used in accordance with the government, which is to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process as well as the quality of the teaching force. This is with the aim that students who attend school in RSBI be more qualified students than schools nationwide.
            Appropriate evaluation conducted some time ago by the Ministry of National Education, RSBI use these funds to improve classroom, laboratory building, installing air conditioners, and put up a fence or gate of the school to beautify the outside of the building looks than the quality of teaching. "Though funds for the physical is not trimmed. I hope that government money was used for quality, a new physical. It also must be selected first what is very important to be repaired, "said Fasli Jalal. Obviously this is one justification why RSBI need to be removed.If distortion organizing RSBI true, there are many deviations management, particularly the management of the funds, it would not make a removal RSBI education will be worse, it could be that this is the beginning of the rise of national education, because education has been abolished discrimination. Smart kids but are not able to return the economy to have the opportunity to choose the school they prefer.When labels RSBI been taken, then what justification so that schools do not need to think about the quality of school? If the former RSBI schools are committed to continue to maintain quality schools without having to rely on labels RSBI and gelontoran walimurid funds from the government and then hopes to create a national education quality would not be difficult. Moreover, most of the facilities and infrastructure of the school has met the standards and complete, well supported by teachers who had completed an average of S-2, it is not enough reason when ex RSBI schools are not able to conduct quality school. And, it is unlikely walimurid reclaim the school facility is the result of their donation.Hopefully RSBI removal policy by the Court is not regarded as an act of burning barns as found there was a rat in the barn. RSBI former budget surplus of the state budget if not monitored carefully, have the potential to rat gnawed. Education Minister plans to allocate funds for competitive grants proram KKN vulnerable. Therefore, if the program is actually going to be realized it is necessary to define the criteria of transparency in the grant recipient schools. If I need to hold an independent agency to oversee accountability. Time for us to improve the quality of national education without RSBI.
