Indonesian Point of View: Education System and Music

Introduction

The reason why I post this is not only because its a homework from my english teacher, that was due on 2nd of August 2011, but also because I want to share how is Indonesian point of view for their education system and music. That's why I asked my friends in person about their point of view.

Findings

Cheating in exam

Education system: All of the people that I interviewed said that Indonesia's education system isn't good enough and still need many improvement, they said that the people in Indonesia is actually smart, but they don't have enough opportunity to prove that, and it isn't firm. One of the people that I interviewed even told me that there is a student in Surabaya that wanted to tell the truth about how all of the student in his school cheated when national exam, but that only made him excommunicated, and some said that the government is  the one that selling the answer for the national exam. From this we could see that Indonesia's education system isn't good enough, but this isn't the only bad point from Indonesia's education system, All of the people that I interviewed agreed that even though there is a free school, the facility is poor and only being centered in the city.

Music: More than half of the people I interviewed liked the music on the present day more than the past, because they said that the music have more variation and it fitted with the teenagers more than the music in the past, but that doesn't mean that only a little choose music on the past day almost half of the people I interviewed liked music on the past more, because it had more lyric and it's not repeated continuously, and one of the people that I interviewed said that she liked Indonesian music on the past more than the present day because it had more quality but if it's not from Indonesian, she liked the present more than the past. And most of the people I interviewed liked to hear the pop genre, and some liked RnB, Indie and Blues.

Conclusion

From this report, we could see that Indonesia education system isn't good enough from high schooler point of view, and I think that's true, and I hope it will improve from time to time.

What shocked me the most is teenagers still like the music on the past even though they don't show it, and I agree with person I interviewed who said that Indonesian music is better in the past, because of the difference in quality.
