Education system between Indonesia and Japan

Welcome back to my blog! According to the title that you have read, now we will discuss how the education system in Indonesia with other countries? The country to be discussed is Japan. Japan is known for its smart, polite and very good human resources. And, Japan is one of the developed countries that prioritizes education. Some of the following are education systems in Japan.

                      

 1. Learn manners while still a child compared to learning the value of knowledge
In various countries, they often compete to educate their students (even since grade 1) to become smart at reading, writing and eventually passing the class-raising exam. But in fact, in Japanese schools, students do not take exams until they reach fourth grade (around the age of 10). They might only do light tests. It is believed that the goal for the first 3 years of school is not to assess children's knowledge or learning.
But to build good behavior and to develop their character. Children are taught to respect others and even be gentle with animals and nature. They also learn how to be generous, compassionate, and have empathy.
In addition, children are taught to be able to control themselves and have the nature of justice.

 2. The academic year starts on April 1
While most schools and universities in the world start their academic year in September or October.
In Japan April is the month that marks the start of the academic and business calendar. The first day of school often coincides with one of the most beautiful natural phenomena, namely when the cherry blossoms bloom. The academic year is divided into 3 parts: April 1 - July 20, September 1 - December 26, and January 7 - March 25.
Japanese students get 6 weeks of vacation during the summer.
They also have a two-week break in winter and spring.

 3. Most Japanese schools do not employ janitors or school guards
In Japanese schools, students must clean their classrooms, canteens and even toilets themselves. When cleaning, students are divided into small groups and assigned assignments that rotate throughout the year. The Japanese education system believes that requiring students to clean schools after independently teaching them to work in teams and help each other.
In addition, spending time on simple businesses such as sweeping, mopping, and other things makes children respect their own work and the work of others.

 4. The level of school attendance in Japan is around 99.99%
It is not a strange thing if we have ever known or even skipped when we went to school. However, Japanese students have never skipped school, are also rarely late for school. In addition, around 91% of students in Japan reported that they never ignored what the teacher taught.

  5. One test to decide the future of students
At the end of high school, Japanese students must take a very important exam that determines their future. A student can choose one college they want to go to, and the college has certain score requirements. If a student does not achieve that score, they may not enter college. Competition is very tight, only 76% of school graduates continue their education after high school.
Not surprisingly, the preparatory period for higher education institutions was dubbed 'hell of a test'.

 Then, how about the education system in Indonesia?

1. Indonesian value-oriented education system
This education system has been implemented since elementary school. Here students are given the teaching of honesty, tolerance, discipline, etc. This value is conveyed through Pkn lessons, even this value is also delivered at the level of secondary education and higher education.

 2. Indonesia adheres to an open education system
According to this education system, students are required to be able to compete with friends, think creatively and innovatively to explore and find understanding of the material discussed.

 3. Educational systems are diverse
In Indonesia, it consists of various ethnicities, languages, regions, cultures, etc. As well as Indonesian education which consists of formal, non-formal and informal education.

 4. An efficient education system in time management
In KBM, time is set in such a way that students do not feel burdened with the subject matter delivered because the time is too short or vice versa.

 5. Educational systems that are adapted to changing times
In this system, the Indonesian people must adjust the curriculum to the current situation. Therefore, the curriculum in Indonesia often changes / changes from time to time, until now Indonesia uses the K 13 curriculum, which is a form of change and revision of the KTSP / Curriculum 2006. Changes in curriculum over time are adapted to the current state of education , improve infrastructure, evaluate the performance of educators etc. With the efforts of education in Indonesia can be better so that the Indonesian people can balance other countries, especially ASEAN countri.
As citizens of Indonesia, we always hope that Indonesia can have a better education system that can compete with other countries.

Differences are beautiful

 In this world everything is created differently, like black and white. White will not be beautiful without black, and the otherwise. Likewise with the motto of our country ‘Bhineka Tunggal Ika’ which means ‘Different but still one’ considering that Indonesia has so many cultures, indigenous languages, etc. But, all those differences will feel wonderful if we can respect each other.  I increasingly appreciate a difference when reading a novel entitled "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". The contents of the novel tell about differences between women and men. Differences such as how to communicate, dress, how to solve a problem, etc.  A woman tends to involve the heart in all problems. Whether it's a matter of love, friendship, or family problems. They always prioritize their hearts rather than their logic, which is why women are called "very sensitive creatures" because they really always involve the heart. In the way of communicating women tend...

Important thing about name

 Many of us assume that names do not have rules and assume names are trivial. But, do we know that names have rules? The rule is called, Naming Traditions which is a name placement rule so that there are no mistakes when it is mentioned or written, this is very important because if we mispronounce or write down someone's name can make an offensive impression. Some countries have their own naming traditions.  For example, the Spanish country people bear a single or composite given name (nombre in Spanish) and two surnames (apellidos in Spanish). A composite given name consists of two (or more) single names; for example Juan Pablois is considered not to be a first and a second forename, but a single composite forename. The two surnames refer to each of the parental families. Traditionally, a Person first surname is the father's first surname (apellido paterno), while their second surname is the mother's first surname (apellido materno). For example, if a man named Eduardo ...
