Lack Of Teaching Personnel to Realize the Development of Education in Indonesia

For them to realize an advanced Indonesian education, it is necessary to provide adequate facilities, therefore they provide various engagement spaces that can be followed by Indonesian youth and professionals. The engagement spaces include being a Young Lecturer, Inspiration Class, Knowledge Sharing Room, Tembokpedia, Playground, and Institute. Indonesia Mengajar believes that education is a shared business, so mutual cooperation from all walks of life is needed to assist the implementation of various existing initiatives. 

And another thing that Indonesia Mengajar is doing is also developing the "Pengajar Muda" program which means selected scholars who are recruited, trained and sent by Indonesia Mengajar to serve as teachers in remote areas of Indonesia for 1 (one) year. This program was launched to overcome the problem of the lack of competent and sufficient teaching staff in Indonesia.

For Indonesia, Teaching the best young generation is a representation of world-class competence. At the same time, Young Teachers (PM) will learn leadership during their placement so that they have a complete understanding of the grassroots community. Indonesia Mengajar believes that the quality of education in an area is closely related to how the entire community participates in creating a good education ecosystem. Therefore, the competencies possessed by Young Teachers will help encourage the community to be more empowered in creating the educational ecosystem.

In this regard, all elements, both members of Indonesia Mengajar, the government, and the community are expected to work well together to solve educational problems in Indonesia. This is because Indonesia Mengajar as a movement that helps provide various facilities through its programs will not work if there is no cooperation in it. This is because the problem of education is a common and complex problem, so strong cooperation is needed. 

If Indonesia Mengajar does not receive support from the government or the wider community, it is certain that Indonesia Mengajar programs will experience great difficulties in changing the current concept of education in Indonesia. Therefore, through the cooperation of these various elements, it is hoped that they can help solve educational problems in Indonesia. Thus, the opportunity to advance education in Indonesia will certainly be greater.

Education is the key to development in the state and nation, because through education a country can lead its people to prosperity. and that in itself is the thing that each country focuses on. In Indonesia, the focus of the Indonesian state on education is contained in the 1945 Constitution Article 31 paragraph 1 which states that every citizen has the right to education. 

Where this is in accordance with one of the ideals and goals of the Indonesian nation as stated in the opening of the fourth paragraph of the 1945 Constitution, namely to educate the nation's life. This shows that Indonesia has placed education as a top priority in nation building. Because, education is the basis of knowledge needed by everyone as a provision to get a better life in the future. 

Compared to people who lack education, someone who is educated will have a greater potential to be able to improve the quality of their lives and help advance their environment. In this case, if education in Indonesia is evenly distributed, it will certainly have a great influence on the development of people's lives at large so that they can realize a better Indonesia.

Unfortunately, the reality of the data that occurred in Indonesia did not match the expectations that were proclaimed at the beginning, there were various obstacles that slowed the development of education in this country. A clear example is the lack of competent teaching staff, the lack of teaching staff results in the inequality of education that exists in Indonesia. 

In other words, there are still many students, especially in remote areas who have not been able to or have not received an education bench. This problem is not only caused by the lack of awareness of the local community about the importance of education, but also the uneven access to education in remote areas. In other words, the existence of schools in the regions cannot be said to have sufficient and good quality and quantity of teaching staff. This also shows that there is an education gap that occurs in Indonesia.

Associated with the reality that can be obtained, over time, various organizations that move to advance education in Indonesia have emerged. One such organization is Indonesia Mengajar. Since its inception and until now, the existence of Indonesia Mengajar has had a considerable influence on the progress of education in Indonesia.
