Each year on may 2, Indonesia celebrates National Education Day, that also known as HARDIKNAS (Hari Pendidikan Nasional). It honors Ki Hajar dewantara, pioneer of education for native Indonesian during the colonial era.
Ki Hajar Dewantara was born on May 2, 1889. Thanks to his family's aristocratic background, he was able to get education, which was a rare occurrence in the Dutch East Indies.
In 1922, he founded his educational movement known as Taman Siswa. It was aimed at providing education for native population. He also developed the educational philosophy Tut Wuri Handayani. It describes an ideal teacher who not only transmits knowledge to his students, but also encourages them in their further quest for knowledge.
When Indonesia declared its independence, Ki Hajar Dewantara was appointed as Minister of Education and Culture in the country's first cabinet. He died on April 26, 1959.
In November 1959, President Sukarno declared Ki Hajar Dewantara a National Hero of Indonesia and the Father of Indonesian National Education. His birthday was appointed as the National Education Day and has been celebrated annually ever since.
We learn so many things from him, he is a fighter. All of us was a fighter. As a young generation I’m so proud that we have a lot of things to learn from our hero especially our education hero. Without him we wont go to school, we cant learn many things, and the final we don’t get a job, why ? because without education life is nothing. Life is just an empty box nothing special in it.
All of us know that learn is difficult, but nothings will happen if you don’t try. Just try and try and try and try and try until you sucsseed. We don’t know what will happen in our future, just think about your happiness in your future with your family, friends, and all of people that you love. Think hard now, The easier way you get in the future.
I know maybe thing will not always happen, but what is the problem. We still have so many times, we still a lot of days, months, and years. We faild today, we still have tomorrow, right ? Just do it !
