Stakeholders Outlook on the Common of Education System
To define a common goal for education from the State point of view doesnot seem to be an overwhelming task insofar as the statements remainbroad and approximate. However, Indonesian diachrony reveals—overthe succession of dominant social classes—that after only threegenerations the definitions of educational objectives have been greatlyaltered. On this basis, the results of the field survey presented heregive the floor to high school students, but also to other local actors.This reflects the expression of a certain social malaise with regard tothe future of the public educational service. The uphill battle of thehigh school student appears to be much more in terms of strategic termsthan in terms of learning properly speaking. Government policies try toimpose an individualizing system in a context clearly dominated bycollective cohesion, thus giving a contradictory character to theinjunctions given to students according to the different value systemsto which they are confronted to. The process of reciprocalcompetitiveness involving these systems finally prevents the State frombeing able to define a consensual orientation as to the generalinterest relating to the common of education.
