Globalization era bring assorted challenge that must be faced by everyone. Every country free to mutual cooperates and free to in concurrence to compete in the field of science and technology. For cogent country so it is the winner, if we want to survive for alive so matters that must we do overbearingly information technology and ability speaks, communication in English-speaking good. Indonesia as developing country must prepared itself face globalization challenge. All preparation must be done, from repair government performance and repair education in Indonesia. But is country Indonesia ready for repaired the education system? May be this be our homework all because see education development in Indonesia more concerned.
Based on the paper of Dr. Marsigit with the title “Gerakan Reformasi untuk Menggali dan Mengembangkan Nilai-Nilai Matematika untuk Menggapai Nilai-Nili Luhur Bangsa Menuju Standar Internasional Pendidikan”, there are many things in education system of Indonesia that must be reform. Begin from the moral values and the system because as far I know, the educational system in Indonesia popular with not transparence system, there is a lot of KKN (corruption, collusion, and nepotism). This matter cause’s country is looked at ugly at world eye. matter that can happen Indonesia original ones will be removed from rivalry, many unemployment, work vacancy is taken by foreign labors caused by global market that opens for who opportunity to work at country other.
By the way, I am really agreed with Mr. Marsigit’s paper to reform the educational system in Indonesia and bring it to denunciated international standardization. I am thought, with the standardization, society accustomed to world international that has criteria-criteria particularly. But both merely system education that must be changed but also the teacher must have competence that supports. Therefore must there how be teacher creative, especially in mathematics lesson that intimidated by a part student. Government and Indonesia citizen must mutual cooperate to repair education system in Indonesia. education reformation very need to repair Indonesia the rising generation moral and cause the loss of corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN) with increase teacher competence so that proper aim international standardization.
