It was around on the second semester when my organization had a visit from exchange college students, Nisa and Amal from Brunei. What I'm going to post here is actually a little conversation I had with Amal regarding Indonesia and Brunei differences about social movement in education for civilians.
Amal said that in Brunei, there are no such thing (as I remember, maybe I remembered incorrectly) as an organization or even college students willingly make a social movement in education for the poor. In Brunei, all of the education sector are handled by the Governor. This makes the civilians, even the poor, are able to reach education. It's a good thing since every Brunei civilians have the right to have higher education than they thought they would. But, on the other hand, this will kill a lot of social movement and make Brunei civilians unable to be sensitive with social problems, especially education for the poor. Not only that, there will be no challenges for the civilians because everything is provided by the country.
Instead in Indonesia, the college students are very sensitive about social issues, especially education for the poor. This is a good start and will make a great difference for the future if the sensitivity is maintained. There are always new challenges, especially for students, more specifically college students, in their everyday life.
What I get from the small conversation, Indonesia may want to take more concern about education, especially the Governor. Why? Education is the base of Indonesian future. If there many well-educated (whether in moral, exact, or social lessons) children in Indonesia, then Indonesia's future will be as well-planned as their education :D
That is all. Sorry for the messy English. Haha. Haven't write anything in English recently.. So I need to practice more. I hope this will be a boost of morale for the readers :)
