Reinforce Education Autonomy; Towards Educative

In the era of regional autonomy and education which is now being aggressively implemented by the central government are now local governments already have authority to regulate and take care of everything about education in their respective regions throughout Indonesia. It has been stated in the Act (Act) No. 22 of 1999. Management authority is defined in article 7, paragraph 1;''local authority includes the authority in all areas of government, except under the authority of foreign policy, defense and security, justice, monetary and fiscal, religion and authority in other fields.''

In the era of autonomy is the quality of education will be largely determined by local policy. When local governments have the political will is good and strong for education, there are ample opportunities that education in the regions concerned will forward. Conversely, the regional head who does not have good vision in education to ensure that area will experience stagnation and stagnation towards a well educated community, will never get a good momentum for growth (Suyanto; 2001).

And vice versa. The school and BP3, which usually have first plan and budget for tuition (for example) for students not involve the parents / guardians of students. Parents / guardians of students (the students) were just the second party (the second man) in the matter. Which in turn is only a''consensus joke''or just a mere formalism.

Well, in this autonomy era it was time to be changed and discarded away from the paradigm of critical thinking to build a society that is educated, humanist, democratic and civilized. For masyarakkat who had been marginalized in the hole orthodox thinking no longer exists in the building and order a dynamic and progressive society. And to jointly build an advanced education and qualified in the international arena. So that later it can come true educational community, Andreas Hafera-language learners and democratic-can participate and create''civil society''as it often appears in contemporary discourse in an effort to build the nation.

When that happens, then people will also feel proud of himself and in turn will respect the progress and developments in the educational environment itself. Because society has given awards that matchless as a social being and as a servant of God. So the public education that includes all components of society and the school itself (both parents / guardians students / learners, learners themselves, schools and government) can walk synergistic, alongside and in harmony.

However, it is certainly not so easy to do. Because the various elements and devices to support it all can be firmly stated that all was implemented only to reinforce that education otonomisasi've actually implemented straightforwardly. And various efforts in that direction was already being and should be encouraged. In order to achieve maximum results and to meet the set targets. Therefore, in education and to reinforce otonomisasi it all not only need the assistance in the form of material. Rather, moral support and kotribusi thinking and fresh ideas are needed.

But, it's all not quite given only by a handful of people only. Instead, support all components of our society was also very determine the sustainability of it all. So do not be surprised if Suyanto declare autonomy should need support education in Parliament. Because, the Parliament who are decision makers at the local level within the framework of autonomy.

It was in tune and find its relevance as article 14 of Law. No. 22/1999; in each autonomous region has a system of government consisting of the Parliament as a local legislature, local government (Local Government) as a regional executive body. Then, insititusi it must work together in a balanced way for the autonomous region to function effectively and democratic for all citizens.

In education, parliament must have a strong role in building a new paradigm and vision of education in their respective regions. Therefore, the local legislative body must be empowered and empower themselves to be able to be a good partner. And has its equivalent in performance legislation. Also, for the head region in developing education in their respective regions.

In addition, central governments are not allowed to interfere in local educational affairs. The central government is only allowed and invited to provide the policies in question. But it also must be on mutually agreed local governments. Or in other words, government involvement in the administration of this education only covers two aspects: quality and equity. The government sets standards of education quality, and strive for all students to high achievers and the best. For all schools to achieve the minimum standards of education quality, with the diversity of achievement between schools in a location as small as possible. In short, the government only acts as a facilitator and catalyst rather than the regulator. Because of the autonomy of education management at school level. So the role of government agencies is to provide service and support to schools. For the education process proceeds effectively and efficiently (Indra Djati Sidi, 2001). Thus, the Community-Based School (MBS) that are often discussed to find the context and momentum, which in turn can be realized.   

Creating Effective Education

      The word effective is a word that is easy to say but it takes a maximum and continuous effort to obtain it. This word can be joined with the word education to be "effective education" and then we can ask our education has been effective or merely perfunctory right?
       Of the three forms of education namely formal, informal and non formal education, the most widely highlighted formal education ranging from quality to its effectiveness. Formal education which includes curriculum, facilities, and infrastructure and the environment influenced the community who participated.

      Is an education held since from elementary school through college or at least till to senior secondary level has been effective or not. The effectiveness of a school is influenced by the background of households where children's home state of learners and the community around the school. Households and communities that have a very adequate human resources and financial condition are well established will help the implementation of an effective school.
      Effective school would be school idol and will be invaded by many prospective students the beginning of each school year begins. Effective child is determined by factors of home and school factors is an effective home and school are also effective.

      The quality of a protégé of very determined and influenced by the culture and atmosphere of learning at home and at school. Several factors support the quality of the child at home is like socio-economic level and Human Resources (HR) parents and the influence of friends playing and entertainment. While supporting factors in the school environment is like the level of human resources and personal warmth teachers, facilities, learning tools and the influence of culture and learning climate in the school itself.

      More than half of the time a child's life spent at home. Family and parents have a very large role in determining the child's personal. Their quality is largely determined by the level of education (HR) of parents in educating and promoting the concepts learned in the family. Economic ability of parents have a role in providing learning facilities. There are children with low parental education level, usually succeed in learning because their parents thick enough pockets to fund the study suggestions. There are again some kids who come from families with poor economy, but also succeeded in learning, because the parents themselves rich with an insight into human resources. A very lucky is the child who had parents with high human resources, a fat wallet and friends play a positive influence in learning.
       Effective education must be supported by the components are also effective. They are as effective schools, effective principals, teachers and students effective effective.

      Effective school must have a standard indicator as illustrated by Sergio Vanio. He said that if an effective school pupils are assessed annually by an independent party, the assessment score is always increasing. The students at the school was very enthusiastic in learning and this is reflected in the increasing percentage of its presence. Teachers are very consistent in giving homework (PR) and PR rate was consistent. Schools have programs at school and extracurricular schedule that there is participation of parents and communities to care about the development and progress of the school.

      Effective school highly appreciate the time and would use it like a money advantage. Of course most of the time it is used for learning. Teachers in schools that effectively able to implement the teaching-learning process that is free from interference and provide homework responsible manner. School is starting and ending learning activities actually on time. Meanwhile, in a school that is not effective, teachers tend not to support the understanding of school goals. Effective school course is behind the effective leadership of school principals as well. A school principal will determine the fall or rise and the quality of a school. The headmaster at random tend to destroy the culture and climate of school learning. While an effective principal is always committed to the mission and vision of raising and preserving the quality of their schools.

      Salfen Hasri (2004: 20) describe an effective school principals, which are as follows: have the vision and make it happen with the teachers and staff. He has high expectations of achievement, always observe the quality of teachers and quality students and encourage the use of time. Besides, an effective principal is always monitoring the performance of individual teachers, staff, students and school.
      Effective school principals are very aware that the presence of students is the main point in education (at school), then he is monitoring the development of students as reflected in improving the quality of test scores net of engineering and manipulation of data. He vacate time (a schedule) to observe teachers in the classroom and continue a dialogue about the problems and improving teaching / classroom.

      School principals to be effective because he was able to become effective leaders. Me Clure (in Salfen Hasri, 2004) says that effective leaders are the leaders capable of sharing the task with anyone who has the competence for particular jobs. An effective leader must be able to carry out "problem solving" and "decision making", has the talent to lead and to be able to bersosial is to work together. However, the results showed that school principals who spend very little time for matters of curriculum and instruction.
