Speech_Contest

Good afternoon ladies and Gentleman,First of all I would like to thank God because of His blesses I can stand here in front of you.I also would like to thank the committee who hold this speech competition and of course my honorable judges.Well my name is Wido From Methodist-2 Senior High School,in this occassion,i would like to deliver you my speech about “The Quality of Education in Indonesia” First of all Ladies and gentleman ,we know that education is very important.How it really takes part in our daily life.We can prove it by how academic skill is needed to apply for job.Ladies and gentleman nowadays people often talk about Globalization Era.This era forces us not only fight with our own people or local people but also all people around the world will compete together.Ladies and Gentleman this globalization era is actually warning us to prepare ourselves much more than before.So if we have no education and skills, we will certainly be left behind. Ladies and Gentlemen,today I will discuss about the condition of Education in Indonesia and what the goverment has done to increase the quality of education.Let’s talk about the condition first.From the survey i have gotten from the internet and Kompas newspaper,in this 2009,Indonesia best Universities are included in Big 500 the best universities in the world by The Times University .They are Gajah Mada University sitting in 250 position this year and was at 316 position in 2008 and Indonesia University sitting in 201 position and was at 287 in 2008 and Over Asia,Indonesia University is sitting in 34 position.These are a good achievement for us and I hope these will increase next year .Our students also has won many times in the International Olympiade.So we can conclude that the quality of education in Indonesia has increased. Ladies and Gentlemen now let’s move to what the goverment has done to increase the quality of education' Indonesia spends 20% from APBN fund for education,if we compare with other countries like,Singapore that is still lower.From this fund it will spread into many progammes to support and increase our Indonesia education.Such as Teacher’s certification,Hold an National Sains Olympiade,continue to Master degree freely for teachers and there is one organization,called BOS Fund.This organization is built by goverment to help the poor family who can’t afford to pay school books and schoolfee for their children.But still I read in newspaper,this fund is corrupted by the irresponsible goverment officer.This is such a pity for those people or children who really need this fund.Even this organization has been built for many years,still a lot of children,are suffering because they cannot experience school like us.So ladies and gentleman we still have to do more to face this kind of condition. Ladies and Gentleman i will give some tips to increase our quality of education in Indonesia.(Please listen carefully). 1. By studying hard, give your full attention in class,and read books as many as you can.This is the easiest step to increase our education. 2. I think we should build more town libraries with good facilities in rural area.As the word “Book is the window the world” So by building more libraries student can get more knowledge. 3. Besides education is needed,i think we also should improve another talent that God has given to us .As the information, ladies and gentleman Reseachers or scientists said that human has eight intelligences,such as linguistic,logical,musical,intrapersonal,interpersonal,kinestic,natural and Visual intelligences.They called it “Multiple Intelligences”.So find which one is your best and improve and improve it. In conclusion,this country is in our hand as the young generation,we actually have a big responsible to make Indonesia better and better or forever we will live in poverty and jobless because of low Education..This is the end of my speech today.Thank you for listening to my speech and I hope this speech will give some benefits for all of us here.Have a nice day and God bless you.
