My name is Fajar Surya
I am the PI (Project Initiator)
of the community services (KKN) in Manyaifun, Raja Ampat 2014
We are 30 students
from 4 different cluster in UGM
collaborated to conduct community service project
which carry out the theme
“Community Empowerment
in the Integrated Area
Based on Local Wisdom”
Actually, what is the problem with our brother and sister in Papua?
The basic problem that occurred in Papua
is called “Underdevelopment”
Papua has “Problem of Abundance”
The areas have plenty of natural resources yet the citizen are still poor
The education, health and infrastructure are far left behind. The potential and the reality are really different
The underdeveloped conditions can occur when there are lack of infrastructure
problem with educational sector
and the difficulties to access the public infrastructure itself
I can say that almost all areas in the Eastern part of Indonesia
are left behind in education sector
compared to the Western part of Indonesia, especially Java
When we specifically talk about Papua
they have
a very large gap in the education sector
compared to other places in Indonesia
They have abundant natural resources
but in the same time we can see that the education in Papua
is dramatically left behind from
the other places in Indonesia
Why? It’s mainly because access to school is difficult
Actually, the number of school is enough but the access for transportation is difficult
This condition become more ironic with the fact that many teachers
usually leave their duty
so the students have no teacher at school
This education problems
are not only become the government responsibility
We cannot say that the government does not have any effort to provide the educational infrastructure
There are still
many of unreachable areas
not covered by the Central or Local Governments
So,
it is quite impossible for these places to get the same degree of attention from the government
Sometimes, this also about
how the local people see education as
as one of important means to
help them out of underdevelopment and poverty
The education problem is not only become the responsibility of the Government
but as students
we also have the same responsibility to
improve the education in Indonesia
How do you think Papua can be improved? What can we do for them?
The only way to be able to catch up
and help them out is by improving the education quality
The only way to be able to catch up
and help them out is by improving the education quality
Sometimes, children don’t want to
go to school because of strict rules, like obligation to wear shoes and uniform.
The formal education system isn’t suitable to be applied in Papua
due to different habit or attitude of Papuan. The habit to come regularly and then studying at school
haven’t been developed yet, and their attitude toward school
may not be the same with people in other part of Indonesia
Therefor, it require infrastructure that are non-formal/informal education
Because of that, the learning center (Rumah Belajar) becomes the most remarkable thing to do
The program to build the learning center is the most suitable program
which can bridge the formal and non-formal education
If process to build the learning center is done by involving the local people
It will be effective
so then they will have the sense of belonging for the learning center
Students have the idea, local people have the experience and finally both can collaborate to
build up the learning center (Rumah Belajar)
The learning center is the way that can be done to
develop and improve the human resources in Papua
For those who had pass the age limit for formal study
going to school may become a problem
but people can still go to the learning center to find out the fun of learning and studying
It is not limited by time
It is not limited by uniform
people can come anytime to the learning center (Rumah Belajar)
To give them more chance to
improve their knowledge for better life and future
If the learning center is the most effective way to improve quality of education in Papua, what can you do to help its realization?
To build up the learning center, support from all sectors are massively needed
So, we invite all of you to realize this dream
Company,

Let’s help them to provide
the educational infrastructure
especially with the development of learning center (Rumah Belajar) in Papua
in all the way you can
for our brother and sister in Papua
This may be an inspiration
good inspiration for people
To be able to realize this dream, it is not enough with only 30 of us
We need you
