Education, in many people’s opinion, is an investment for the future. A few years ago, our future was guaranteed by wealth but now the social guarantee for the future belongs to the education. It means that people see a better future depending on their education.
However, let’s now take a look to the grades from the schools in our country. Those final marks are spectacular, but many among those certificates take the students to land on unsuitable jobs, such as maids, servants, cleaning services, underpaid laborer, blue-collar worker, and sometimes ending up in the world of prostitution (indeed, it doesn't require good marks on any subject at all!).
There will be less job opportunities in the future. In fact, there are many more things – such as economy crisis, natural disaster, or the never-ending political conflict – that may cause someone to be regarded as useless at work. Arguably some people may start to think that the education could not guarantee a better future. Therefore, schools in Indonesia should not teach their students only to get brilliant scores on the certificate, but also assure a better future for the students by developing creative and productive personality with systematic plans. In that way, the present-day young generation will be able to thrive and survive in the future, as they are trained to create their own work, and not merely to search for jobs, which are surely limited.
