Indonesian Teachers Out in 2015

The last days are being intensively broadcast two public service ads on the station, television station, both TVRI and private television stations. Ads that one contains a message about foster children and others describe the lack of teachers in our beloved country. Although only lasted a few seconds, the second ad is quite inviting attention, especially the latter ad.
Lack of teachers. It's a portrait of the reality of our education (one side) that is very sad. Why not, education is the main capital creation of the progress of civilization of a nation. On the other hand, teachers as professionals in this field would number more rare.
Then, what happens if in future years is not easy to find the figure of the teacher? Perhaps you all already know the answer. Certainly peradapan culture in the Republic of Indonesia is getting worse than current conditions. Why was there such a condition?
FLASHBACK BACK State of education as described in the previous section So also it would not happen. There must be the trigger. Cause kekeurangan teacher who would I lay out here is not from in-depth research results, but just a quick observation and conjecture. The cause of decline in the number of human resources (HR), in this case teachers, of late is the closing of teacher education institutions.
In the first half of the 1990s all the School of Teacher Education (SPG) and Master of Religious Education (PGA) is closed. Closure of the education institutions reasoned that primary education is no longer worthy to be taught by teachers who graduate SPG that in fact only tiered secondary education. Instead Primary School Teacher Education opened (PGSD). In addition, prior to the closing teacher education institutions was preceded by the establishment of a policy which stipulates that graduates of SPG does not automatically or directly appointed as civil servants, kecualai some outstanding students in every generation. As a result, many graduates of SPG are turning to other professions, such as factory workers or farm. Facts like this is very unfortunate because students SPG is student choice. Junior high school graduates who can be accepted in the SPG are students who have a minimum NEM 42.00 and go through the stages exam-phase filter. It shows that the can d iterima in the SPG are human beings and intelligent choices. So, they actually are potential workers.
Next, towards the end of 2000, all Teachers' Training College in Indonesia turned into a university, although there are still some STKIP and Guidance and Counseling in the universities. Changes in this status must be followed also change the vision and mission. Originally status of Teacher Training Institutions of Higher Education (LPTKs) as a printer professional personnel changes to university educators who scored a pure science scholars. Perhaps this policy aims to achieve the target of reliable scholars in the field of science and technology in order to welcome the birth of the State of Indonesia as a country-based advanced technology. Obsession is very good. However, the Indonesian nation talkative disease is difficult once lost. That is, at the time kibijakan Teachers' Training College into university status change is approved, should have some IKIP in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi, which has maintained quality. Thus, the number of teachers will still be fulfilled because until whenever the education sector in sebu ah nation will not be closed. That means that until whenever teachers are still needed.
WHAT SOLUTIONS Lack of teachers, as illustrated in the public service ads on television, just happened on basic education. If observed, this phenomenon is quite realistic menggingat closure of SPG and the PGA has been almost ten years ago. Graduates PGSD was not all be accepted as a public servant. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of secondary education teacher shortage is still felt. This is reasonable because the closure IKIP new two-IKIP last three years. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE YEAR 2020 FUTURE?
To overcome the problem of shortage of teachers in basic education, perhaps my thoughts will be a model for discussion. Once the policy is to stop the appointment of primary school teachers (SD), many graduates of the PGA SPG or changed their profession to another field. It should not happen considering they are the personnel selection. Plus PGSD student admission system. From the beginning of the opening, PGSD admit students of high school graduates. Material about the test was adjusted to the standard of teaching in public high school. Of course this is a constraint for graduates of SPG or PGA to compete with high school graduates because of the material taught in public high school and vocational courses are certainly different. Finally, the SPG lulusasan rarely accepted.
At the time of recruitment should be the preferred PGSD first is a graduate of SPG or the PGA. Only later after all the graduates or the PGA this SPG is up, recruitment is open to high school graduates.
Finally, to solve shortage of primary school teachers, why not try to call back the SPG and PGA graduate who has not been accepted as a teacher overseas? Give them scholarships to continue their education in PGSD or STKIP. After graduating directly appointed teachers country.
