Enjoyed RSBI Only Few People

The presence of International Standard School Stubs (RSBI) and SBI in Indonesia is not only bertentangaan to the 1945, but also forms of discriminatory policies and pengkastaan ​​education. Because schools were legalized by the Education Law was only enjoyed a handful of the people of Indonesia.

According to the researchers Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Siti Juliantari, this discriminatory policy carried out by the Ministry of Education and Culture poured significant amounts of funds to schools, the real from the beginning was "excellent school" (RSBI and SBI), rather than allocate funds specifically to schools retarded.

In other words, the higher the quality standards of a school, the greater the chances that school get special privileges from government funding, as well as from the public (through fees). In contrast to non RSBI school / SBI will actually farther behind, because it does not receive significant financial support from the government and there is a ban on fees.

"Do not the retarded schools who need to get a special fund in greater numbers in order to catch up? This means that the quality of education, whether consciously or not, can only be enjoyed by a small group of citizens, and concentrated in big cities, " said Siti Juliantari, Sunday (6/1) night.

He said education established constitution and national consensus as a distribution point, an increase in the nation's mind, that egalitarian principles apply in practice. Meanwhile, through a variety of privileges, RSBI / SBI intentionally causing pengkastaan ​​in the community that it would be removed by the revolution of national independence.

On the other hand, RSBI / SBI is based on the philosophy of existentialism and essentialism, the belief that education should nurture and develop the existing learners optimally. While essentialism philosophy of education that emphasizes the function and relevant to the needs of both individuals, families, communities, local, national, and international.

In fact, Indonesia's national philosophy of education system is Pancasila, and national education aimed at developing skills and form the character and civilization of a dignified nation in the context of the intellectual life of the nation.

"This is why we hope that the Constitutional Court can objectively look at the issue RSBI / SBI, which is an important issue for the public in accessing education, because education is a prerequisite for the implementation of human rights," he said.

Therefore, the undeniable reason, the Constitutional Court may annul Article 50 paragraph (3) of the National Education System, because obviously contrary to the Preamble, Article 28C Paragraph (1), Article 28E Paragraph (1), Article 28 paragraph ( 2), Article 31 paragraph (1), Article 31 paragraph (2), Article 31 paragraph (3) and Article 36 of the 1945 Constitution.
