Assalamu’alaikum
Wr.Wb.
Firstly, I would like to say thank you very much for the MC and
juries who have given me opportunity to deliver this English speech.
Ladies and
Gentlemen;
It is a
great honor for me to stand here and give a brief speech entitled
“Formal Education in Indonesia”
Brothers and
Sisters;
Education system in our country is divided into two major parts,
they are formal and non-formal. A formal education is divided into three
levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. While non-formal education
is carried out for the learners who get difficulties to meet the requirements
in formal education. An example of non-formal education is PLS (Pendidikan Luar
Sekolah). Both formal and non-formal education aim at establishing the
education process in our country.
Ladies and
Gentlemen;
As I have stated previously, formal education involves three
levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. Before entering primary or
elementary school, children in our country usually have attended kindergarten,
or known as kindergarten school. But this education is not compulsory for
Indonesian citizens, as the aim of this is just to prepare them for primary
school.
Children ages 7–12 attend primary education at Elementary School .
This level of education is compulsory for all Indonesian citizens. Similar to
education systems in the U.S. and Australia, students must study for six years
to complete this level. Some schools offer an accelerated learning program,
where students who perform well can finish elementary school in five years.
The next level is secondary education. After graduating from
elementary school, students attend Middle School or Junior High School (for
three years from the age of 13-15. After three years of schooling and
graduation, students may move on to Senior High School. In Indonesia, this
school is basically divided into two kinds:
Senior high school (SMA) and vocational high school (SMK). SMA is different
with SMK in their studies. The students at SMA are prepared to advance to tertiary
education or university, while students of SMK as a vocational school are prepared
to be ready to work after finishing their school without going to university/college.
The last level of education in our country is tertiary education.
Students who have graduated from senior high school may attend to university or
academy. They can choose
any kinds of
university or academy based on their interests or scopes of knowledge, for example
majoring in English, Mathematics, or teacher training university.
Ladies and
Gentlemen;
Brothers and
Sisters;
I think that’s all my speech. I hope my brief description on the
formal education in our country will be useful for us. Finally, I would like to
say sorry if there are mistakes in my speech words. Thank you very much for
your attention.
Wassalamu’alaikum
Wr.Wb.
