Hallo fellas! Welcome to my fourth blog!! Because the theme is about education so in this occasion I would like you to compare the education system between Indonesia and Finlandia. Why finlandia? because Finlandia is the number 1 best education country in the world and the purpose I make this comparison is to evaluate the education system in Indonesia.
- In finlandia, the time to study is just 4 hours and even then interspersed with the games, because finlandia believe that if students spend too much their time at school it will make them stress out and get bored because they don't have enough time for entertainment. Based on research if the students like that it will make the material can not get by children.
- To become a teacher of primary school in finlandia is need master degree because finlandia believe that to teach student must need competent teacher. While in Indonesia we haven't graduate yet but we can teach at school.
- Students in Finlandia are free to choice the subject they want, as well as they like. Because Finlandia hopes students can develop their skills in subject they like. For example,if students just interested to math and art they just follow the class with those subject they don't need follow the others subject. While in Indonesia we have to dominate all of subject that school has given and it makes almost all of student feel lazy because they have to learn about subjects they don't like.
- There is no homework and final exam in Finlandia.
- In Finlandia the cost to school is paid by government,they don't need pay like spp or something like that.
- There is no rangking system in Finlandia because Finlandia believe that all of students are same,they deserve to get first winner.
- This is the most interesting, in Finlandia the average starting salary for teacher is 29.000 dollars in 2008 and that is equivalent to about 400 million rupiah. Whereas in Indonesa the average starting for teacher is not meet UMP/UMR. However the most important thing is not from salary but from how useful we are to others.
- In calculating international standard said that students in Finlandia are interested to science, like to read and like math whereas Indonesia is one of the worst reading countries in the world.
- In Finlandia the cost of education to become a teacher is borned by government. Therefore Finlandia has many high quality teachers because teacher welfare is equivalent to that of doctors and pilots.
The question is, can Indonesia implement education system like Finlandia? The answer is able on you, have we felt it appropriate to implement the system? Because the most important thing is from human resources. So we as the next generation of teacher we must be qualified teacher so that we can improve the education system in Indonesia and we have to eliminate the bad image of teacher. Show them that we can be happy teachers~
