Assalamu’alaikum Wr Wb
Good
Morning
Ladies and
Gentlemen Let’s thank Allah for His mercy and blessing, so that we can meet
here to have this lovely program. Peace be upon our prophet Muhammad, his
family, and his companion.
In this delight occasion, I would like to talk about the problem
of our national education. I have one big question for you: Have the result of
education in Indonesia been satisfactory?
The answer
is NOT YET You know, the result of our education is supposed to create students
who afraid and get close to Allah or Taqwa and have high quality in mastering
science and technology. However, what a pity when we see the reality that the
result is nothing except the students mastering in juvenile delinquency, such
as: making a date, student fighting, drug abuse, and many others.
Only a few
number of them who are serious in their study. We can count by fingers of our
friends who are smart and get close to Allah. Then, why does this condition
happen?
These
problems appear because many kinds of aspects: The first thing is about the
educational system in Indonesia. We admit or not, our education tends to
imitate the western countries that separate between the religious lesson and
the worldly affairs. It is also a pity that the religious lesson only gets a
small amount of time in our schedule, only two hours a week.
The second
one is that the education today is supposed like a business. The educational
staff prefer think how to get the financial profit to think the quality of the
output. The teachers have also less responsibility in this problem. Most of the
teachers only transfer the science and knowledge, but take a little attention
to the spiritual and personality of the students. The other aspect contribute
to the problem is that the family and the environment have lack attention to
the students. Today, there are many mothers busy working and ignore to the
children.
The
environments are also permissive to some juvenile delinquency. Dear friend, we
must change the problem; otherwise we will become the next victim. We must
think over the cause of the problems and overcome these before it gets worse.
The governments should rethink about the educational system and give more
portions to religious and personality lesson.
The
teachers, family and society should be more serious in teaching and paying
attention to the students or to the young generations.
Okay, I
think it’s enough for now. Thanks for your attention
Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
