“…It was not surprising then to see that these new ideas of equality, diversity and the minority interests have grown in Indonesia. Initiated by the change of political system from the old centralistic style to the new more autonomous one, this transformation process extends to the educational system (Bjork, 2004).…”

Developing representational historical content for school curricula is a challenge in Indonesia. The wide range of ethnicities and cultural backgrounds in the country has created a unique education management situation. An unconventional approach emphasizing local content (muatan lokal) has been developed by the national government in the last two decades to address the demand for more representation of local issues in history and related subjects at schools. Despite this creative approach, the implementation of the program at the national level is still far from effective due to the underdevelopment of the concept and shortage of human resources. The participation of institutions, groups or individuals with the particular knowledge and expertise on local culture outside the formal educational institution has recently been adopted as a possible effective solution. This is a role in which archaeology might also make a positive contribution. This paper will discuss this issue by focusing on the contribution of archaeology to develop the local content in the education of Moluccas region in Indonesia. The discussion will include the examples of the program and project, which has been conducted in the last ten years.

“…Türk eğitim sisteminin aşırı merkeziyetçi yapısına karşın, gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan pek çok ülkede 1990'lı yılların hemen başında eğitimde yerelleşme eksenli reformlar hayata geçirilmiştir (Luengo, Sevilla ve Torres, 2005;Bjork, 2004;Bodine, 2005). Bu reformların arka planında, merkezi yönetimin elinde bulunan kimi yetkinin kapsamlı bir şekilde okul yönetimlerine devredilmesi düşüncesi bulunmaktadır.…”

ABSTRACT:The school administrators are one of the main actors in term of achieving schools' purposes. The goal of this study is to discuss the legal basis of school administration. On this account, Constitution, laws, regulations and circulars related to school administration were revised comprehensively and the current position of school administration was described according to positive laws. Furthermore, the literature about school administration was examined and the situation that is supposed to be according to ideal laws was analyzed. At the end of the study it was seen that the current laws which regulates the promotion of administrators was in contradiction with merit and career principles and it was suggested that this situation should be re-regulated. In addition, the duties of administrators were analyzed and found that the legal position that regulates these duties were not contemporary and suggested that they should be rearranged.

“…The same is true of Indonesia where while the government extended in 1994 compulsory education to junior secondary (9 years of education until age 15), it seems to have failed to realize this objective especially for the rural and poor segment of the population (Behrman et al, 2002). The decentralization movement that was implemented in 1999 did not seem to be able to address the disparities and may have even increased them (Kristiansen andPratikno, 2006 &Bjork, 2004). Booth (2000) suggests that programs targeted to the specific needs of poor people in poor and rural areas will be essential.…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may / 2006Abstract This paper examines levels of educational attainment in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam for the period 1970-2030 through the reconstruction and projection of levels of educational attainment. While the study of the past shows that the determination to invest in education has been strong in the six countries, the investments were implemented at different pace and intensity, the projections show the legacy of past investments. In Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, there will be tangible increases in the proportion of the working age population with a tertiary education. The Philippines will have a dichotomous society where large proportions will either have a tertiary education or only a primary education. In Indonesia, the bulk of the working age population will shift from primary in 2000 to secondary by 2030. The projection horizon and the trend type of scenario do not allow Vietnam to catch up with the other countries.
