High School education system in Indonesia

I wrote this when I applied a scholarship to Sampoerna Foundation (2008). They required an essay. Haha . Unfortunately, they didn't give me the scholarship, because my English grammar is bad. Here it is:

I think, the high school education system in Indonesia is good. Government raises scores of SK (Graduation Standard) every year. However, I think if SK being the only one requirement to be graduated, that will make citizen get shocked and confused. How come, education experienced for twelve years are gambled in just three days of national exam. Yeah, the determination days. I believe government makes that new polìcy fundamentally for the good of the people, - to make people cleverer and ready to compete globally -. 

Government raises the graduation score every year. I think they can do it if Indonesia has same education quality in every school. In fact, the education system in some areas of Indonesia is not same. The are a lot of SSI (Sekolah Standard International) in big cities. It is not fair. On the other hand, in small villages, students with less ability to access good education can't pass the exam because they had some difficulties to do the national exam. Morevoer, some of them were lack of confident. They did not come to do the national exams because they believe they can not do the national exam well. On the other hand, students in big cities said the exam was easy. I hope this condition will no longer exist in the future. 

Well, Education is not a gift. It is the most powerful tool that needs to built and developed. Indonesian government have to spend more money to fund the educational program in Indonesia. Based on Al-Quran, there are 5 components of education: teacher (Allah), student(Muhammad SAW), support services and educational facilities (qalam), education system (iqra) and curriculum.
 Those are significant things to provide education with better quality. It would be nice if before Indonesian government raises the graduation score, they repair the quality of education in rural areas first. Eventually, it will affect not only the education quality in Indonesia, but also its economy.

    I think, actually high school education system in Indonesia is good. Government raising scores of SK (Graduation Standard) every year. However, if that being the base off to be graduated, of course, it will make citizen get shocked and confused. How not, education that experience for 12 years being fixed just on 3 days. There are 6 subjects to be tested. For 3 days on the national examination. Yeah, the days to act of determining. I believe that government makes that new polìcy fundamentally for the kindness of its people. To make people more clever and ready to compete with global people.

    But it is not far if there are no judgments. Government raising the score graduate every year. It's just being able to do it if it is balanced with education quality of every school in Indonesia. In fact, the education system of all areas of Indonesia is not same. In Java Island or big cities have a lot of SSI (Sekolah Standard International). That case will make the areas of Indonesia which are progress just in the big cities. It is not far. On the other hand, in small villages, students in less progress can't pass the exam because they had some difficulty to do the national examination. On top that, some of them didn't come on the days of they doubt that they can pass away national examination. On the other hand, in big cities students said the examination was so easy. I hope this condition will no longer exist in next future.

    Well, Education is not a gift that's easily received, but the most powerful tool that needs to be built and developed. Indonesian government have to spend enough money to fully fund the educational program in Indonesia. Based on Al-Quran, there are 5 components of education, there is a teacher (Allah), student(Muhammad SAW), support services and educational facilities (qalam), education system (iqra) and curriculum. These are a needful extension of the educational administrative machinery to ensure that the basic aim of providing quality education can be achieved. It will be nice ie before Indonesian government raising the standard graduate, they have to make an even distribution of education to small villages as good as in big cities. So, it will not mismatched. The growth and advancement education of all areas of the Indonesian government, and it affect the economy.
