POJOKSULSEL.com, MAKASSAR – The Indonesian Legislative Monitoring Committee (Kopel) together with Article 33 collaborated with the Makassar City Government (Pemkot) to dissect the budget allocation for education implementation in Makassar, marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Kopel Indonesia Coordinator Syamsuddin Alimsyah said the signing of the MoU would make it easier for Article 33 to obtain education data in the city of Makassar. ” Research wants to be very simple. "First, how to trace the education budget which is considered very wasteful, not well targeted and not useful," he said.
For this reason, he said, it is hoped that with the MoU the related parties, namely the Makassar Education Office (Disdik), will provide valid data.
Director of Article 33 Santoso explained that the education budget has increased drastically every year, but the quality of education in Indonesia is still stagnant. "This happened because the policies that were born had no clear direction. "We want to ensure that the large budget is used in the right way and on target," he said.
Meanwhile, Mayor of Makassar Danny Pomanto appreciated the MoU between the Makassar City Government and Kopel Indonesia and Article 33 which wants to dissect education budget spending in the city of Makassar. ” Education is a window to the future. "The destruction of a country is due to the destroyed education implemented by the nation," he said.
For this reason, said the Mayor with an architectural background, he emphasized that from the start he was elected as Mayor of Makassar that he would concentrate on the education sector. "For this reason, I want all schools to be transparent and provide data. "I want all education spending to be dissected in depth so that education in Makassar is of high quality," he concluded.
