2013 SMA / SMK Free tuition fee

Ministry of National Education (Kemdiknas) ensure in 2013 the students of schools in secondary education will no longer charge tuition. The government has prepared a grant program schools (BOS) to SMA / SMK. National Education Minister Mohammad Nuh said, it was done because the nine-year compulsory education program (normal 9 years) has been running smoothly and is predicted to be completed in 2012. The government will be more focused to realize a 12-year compulsory education.

"Now it's, God willing basic matters relating to primary and junior basic education can be completed. First, related to the learner. Yesterday, the operational costs it is still not enough. The new BOS to cover 70-80 percent. Well, 2012, BOS to elementary and junior high schools has increased. Therefore, in 2012 we began to pioneer the BOS for SMA / SMK, and 2013 confirmed the BOS has been running completely, "said Noah, Monday (09/26/2011) afternoon, at Kemdiknas Building, Jakarta.

In a 12-year plan was fair, Noah went on, there are several requirements that must be prepared. First, related to the learner. According to him, the problem of learners it is the most serious problem because it is directly related to financing problems. Therefore, the government will prepare a reasonable budget pilot 12 years and although it has not been approved by Parliament should be consulted first.

"The year 2012 is still rintisaan first because we still concentrate with the problem of basic education first. Once the basic education program is completed later in 2012, hopes by 2013 a reasonable 12-year pilot was able to finish. We hope so. So, the point that stands out is the financing issue, "he said.

Secondly, if the gross enrollment rate (GER) graduated from junior high school children currently only 70 percent and 30 percent did not proceed to high school, to raise a minimum of 10 percent or around 900,000 new learners of participants, means there must be additional classrooms.

"Thus in 2013 which should be done is to increase the capacity of high school or vocational school. This well will not only add capacity, but also improve or the proportion of high school and vocational school, "said Noah.

In the future, he hopes every district there should be a vocational high school and new country. Noah said, currently in Indonesia there are about 7200 districts.

"However, right now it does not mean this in every district there is no high school / vocational school. Already exists, but not in certain areas does not exist. In essence, then at the district level there should be a minimum of high school / vocational school. At the same time, the space that we have built no standard, "he said.
