The Urgency of Indonesia's Education and Literacy Gap

The educational gap and lack of literacy among the Indonesian people are still problems that have not been fully solved. Even though there are schools that have good facilities, these schools are only in cities and are not evenly distributed. Many Indonesian people in remote areas still have difficulty accessing education, whether it is school facilities or teacher human resources. In fact, referring to Pasal 31 Ayat 1 UUD 1945, every Indonesian citizen must have equal education.

On the other side of the education gap, Indonesia provides the next term education test qualification equally, although there are still many schools that are lagging behind. The impact is that many students who are left behind are left even further behind because of the difficulty of meeting the set qualifications.

Apart from the education gap, there is also the urgency of minimal literacy, especially for the younger generation. Indonesia has a vision to become "Golden Indonesia" in the future.  Therefore, it is very necessary to have a quality young generation because they will be the successors and leaders in the future. The vision of Indonesia is held by the young generation.

But unfortunately, Indonesia still has a low literacy rate, many young people are easily fooled by social media hoaxes. Human resources and ways of thinking are also affected by the lack of literacy, thus having a big impact on other urgent matters.. Child abuse, gender equality, education, poverty, and even the future of Indonesia itself will be affected.

That is why I dedicate my work to supporting literacy as the basis of education. Taking advantage of the accessible internet, fiction or non-fiction, social media persuasion, to joining the Student Movers community, a partner of the Indonesian Minister of Education. I want to contribute to Indonesian education.

I dedicate my novel to supporting literacy as the basis of education. Especially for the young generation who are shaken by technological developments, I have made almost 5 million young people interested in reading and literacy again. In addition to fiction, there is also non-fiction that has been read more than 200 thousand times on the internet. My millions of readers, 85% are the young generation. I am also active as a student activist directed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, on social media I post things related to educational motivation. I am also often active as a speaker at school events, representing students, to give speeches about literacy for quality education. In front of thousands of students I persuade them to know how important education is.

Also, I will expand my contribution, directly going into the field, so that I can address urgencies other than education. Indonesia's vision and goals as Golden Indonesia can be achieved with quality education. I understand this very well, and I will never stop providing the best solution approach for the Indonesian people.

Every country has urgent problems, and Indonesia is still in crisis in education. I want to contribute to that.
