In
2011, Human Development Index (HDI) of Indonesia decreased from 108 in 2010
among 169 countries to 124 in 2012 among 187 countries. This data was released by the report of United Nation Development Program. This index was measured by
the quality of Human Resource of the country through education, economy, and
health. Also in 2011, percentage of human health index of Indonesia was 0,779
%; education was 0,584 %; and economy was 0,518 %.
Government
has so many programs related with human development index such as free
education, free health, and many job vacancies through several policies and
ideas. Government has spent much national budget for education in the biggest
portion. Some of that policies including BOS (operational cost for school),
scholarship from DIKTI, electronic book, and free tuition fee, etc. We also
have many universities and courses either state or private that could support
all of younger become master in certain subject. Not only education, but
also health is the main focus of the government. This is proven by several real
programs of the government for making people more healthier and no
discrimination between the rich and the poor as well as those who are not able
neither to buy medicine nor check up to the hospital. These health programs are
including JAMKESMAS (health guarantee for citizen), and free check up for
poor people, etc. In economy government has marked up the minimum salary of
nation and always promotes our nation for investment and tourism that could
bring to a new make job vacancy. Indonesia has much natural resources and big
number of citizen but they still cannot increase the Human Development Index
unless the government maximizes the potential of all resources.
Then
what make Indonesia become really poor in HDI, whereas it has all of criteria
to become super power country? Our country is left behind by the countries
which also have a big number of citizens such as USA, China, and India. And the
most embarrassing is I have ever heard statement from Americans that most of Americans consider Indonesian as a fool people, and also Germany categorized
our nation as the third world country that indicates Indonesia lack of
education and prosperity. Now, as Indonesian we have to think about it, and
search for the solution. So let’s discuss it brother and sister.
