Golden Bridge with A Million Problematics




Independence is the "golden bridge" to justice and prosperous society. Thus, independence does not mean the nation's struggle was finished. But, it appears the new challenges to maintain and fill it with a variety of development activities or as a reminder of the nation free from all forms of foreign imperialism. Free to build their nation without any interference from other nations.
Are we independent? What should we do as lovers of freedom? Have we ever pondered deeply, what must we do to continue the vision and mission of the struggle of the hero? What about the development in Indonesia? Poverty? Starving? Mortality? Education? Gender equality? Unemployment? Infrastructure? Environment? Oh, too many problematics.
Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of poor people in Indonesia 28.01 million or 10.86% in March 2016, decreased compared to September 2015 recorded 28.51 million or 11.13%. Poverty is declining but we are not yet free from poverty.
Minister of Education, Anies Baswedan declared Indonesia's education was an emergency. Why? 75 percent of schools in Indonesia below the minimum educational standards. Indonesia ranked 40 out of 40 countries, by The Learning Curve institutions. Indonesia ranked 103 in the world, a country with education there is corruption and extortion.
Moreover, Anies said, in October to November 2015, the rate of violence involving students in and outside of school in Indonesia reaches 230 cases and the lack of qualified teachers in Indonesia. Direction of educational reform always change along with the change of government, this is a weakness of our educational system is inconsistent.
Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) said the unemployment rate in February 2016 reached 7.02 million people, or 5.5 percent. But the number of those unemployed decreased when compared with February 2015, reaching 7.45 million (5.81 percent).
How about the infrastructure in Indonesia? Based on data from the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) in 2014, the index of Indonesia's infrastructure is ranked 53 below Singapore (5), Malaysia (25), Thailand (35), even lower with Vietnam, which is ranked 48. In ASEAN, ranking Indonesia higher than the Philippines (57), Cambodia (83), Laos (131) and Myanmar (145). The low index of this infrastructure contributes to the high cost of logistics and leads to a high cost economy and the high cost of goods and services.
And many more.. Floods and other natural disasters until problems of teachers got beat parents, student admitted to government children, corruption began to unfold. Even so, we must remain proud to Indonesia and we give thanks now can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the freedom, without slaughterous. Let us not aggravate Indonesia, be a resident of Indonesia who is obedient to the rules and respect for heroes.
