Mendikbud Serahkan 10 Juta Dollar AS ke UNESCO

Pemerintah Indonesia melalui Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayasan merealisasikan sumbangan 10 juta dollar AS untuk UNESCO. Penyerahan sumbangan disampaikan langsung oleh Mendikbud Mohammad Nuh di sela-sela sidang Executive Board UNESCO di Paris.

Penyerahan ditandai dengan penandatanganan pemberian sumbangan bersama Direktur Jenderal UNESCO Irina Bokova.

Sukemi, Staf Ahli Komunikasi Mendikbud, Senin (5/2/2012), menjelaskan, sumbangan 10 juta dollar AS tersebut dibagi dalam dua termin penyerahan. Penyerahan pertama sebesar 6 juta dollar AS untuk kepentingan emergency fund yang dimaksudkan untuk menutupi kekurangan dana UNESCO yang cukup besar.

Termin kedua dari komitmen 10 juta dollar AS akan disampaikan tahun 2013 dikhususkan sebagai dana bagi fund-in-trust, di mana pengelolaan dananya dilakukan secara bersama antara Kemendikbud dan UNESCO, termasuk program-program yang akan didanai.

Adapun emergency fund, pengelolaannya diserahkan sepenuhnya pada UNESCO.

Keputusan Kemendikbud ini untuk mendukung keuangan UNESCO. Akibat masuknya Palestina sebagai anggota UNESCO, Amerika Serikat dan Israel menarik sumbangannya ke UNESCO.

Mendikbud: Tentang RUU Perguruan Tinggi

Selain membahas Pendidikan Menengah Universal, dalam rapat koordinasi (rakor) yang dilaksanakan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Kemendikbud) bersama sejumlah kementerian terkait turut mengangkat pembuatan Rancangan Undang-Undang Perguruan Tinggi (RUU PT).

Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Mendikbud) M Nuh mengemukakan, saat ini RUU PT masih dalam tahap pengujian publik. Namun, pemerintah merasa ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan dalam pembuatan RUU PT tersebut.

Pertama, kata M Nuh, DPR mengusulkan anggaran untuk penelitian 2,5 persen dari anggaran fungsi pendidikan.

"Pemerintah tentu keberatan. Alasannya sederhana, anggaran fungsi pendidikan bukan hanya untuk pendidikan tinggi, tapi mulai dari PAUD hingga perguruan tinggi. kalau mengambil prosentase sebesar itu berarti pendidikan tinggi mengambil jatah adik-adik di bawahnya," kata M Nuh di Kemendikbud, Senayan, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (6/3/2012).

Sementara, hal kedua yang dikritisi dalam RUU PT adalah pelaksanaan pendidikan tinggi oleh sejumlah Kementerian. Padahal sudah ada sistem pendidikan nasional yang berada dalam naungan Kemendikbud.

"Salah satu yang krusial pendidikan tinggi di bawah naungan Kementerian Agama (Kemenag), seperti UIN. Amanatnya untuk menyelenggarakan pendidikan keagamaan, tapi di lapangan juga membuka pendidikan umum," ujar M Nuh di Kemendikbud, Senayan, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (6/3/2012).

Menurut M Nuh, Kemendikbud bukan membatasi agama untuk diterapkan dalam pendidikan umum. Tapi yang menjadi masalah adalah pengelola pendidikan tinggi tersebut.

"Kembali ke tupoksi utama masing-masing kementerian. Kalau kementeriaan lain, di luar Kemendikbud ingin menyelenggarakan pendidikan, maka pendidikan tersebut berupa kedinasan atau profesi yg khas di bidang masing-masing," ujar mantan Rektor Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya tersebut.

Hal ketiga yang turut menjadi perhatian dalam RUU PT adalah mengenai akses untuk memperoleh pendidikan bagi seluruh masyarakat.

"Akses masyarakat untuk mendapatkan pendidikan harus diperkuat. Tidak hanya dalam PP 66 mengenai 20 persen harus berasal dari warga tidak mampu, maka akan diperkuat dengan UU," tuturnya.

National Long Term Development Plan (RPJPN) Years 2005-2025 mandate to us all to be serious about trying to make Indonesia an independent, progressive, just and prosperous.

During the period 2010-2014 the Ministry of National Education to create "holding of Prima Services Education to establish a Comprehensive Intelligent Insan Indonesia." To achieve this vision, Kemendiknas mission packaged with the title "Mission 5K", namely, (1) increase the availability of educational services evenly in all corners of the archipelago, (2) increase the affordability educational services by all levels of society; (3) improve the Quality / Quality and relevance of education services with social life, the industrial world, and the business world; (4) to improve education for Equality in memperolehlayanan Indonesian citizens in obtaining a quality education by taking into account the social background of cultural diversity, economics, geography, and; (5) enhance certainty / security for all Indonesian citizens a quality education. From the fifth mission, the Ministry of National Education is committed to serve the educational needs of early childhood education, elementary education, secondary education, higher education, both through formal and informal channels with values hold a trustworthy, professional, visionary, democratic, inclusive and justice.

Vision and Mission of the Ministry of Education actually has the same spirit with the Presidential Instruction No. 9 Year 2000 on Gender Mainstreaming in National Development which states that the entire development process of gender mainstreaming education needs to be done with due regard to justice and gender equality dimension into every process of planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of all policies and programs on various areas of life and sectors development.

To reinforce the commitment of the Ministry of National Education in doing PUG Education Sector, in the year 2008 has been assigned the Ministry of National Education Regulation No.. 84 of 2008 on Gender Mainstreaming Guidelines for the Education Sector, although the programs, mainstreaming gender in education in the Ministry of National Education has been conducted since 2003. This regulation is expected to provide direction for policy makers at central and local government and education practitioners in implementing gender mainstreaming in education.

Gender mainstreaming in education at the Ministry of National Education implemented through five main strategies, namely, (1) increasing capacity for policy makers in each major unit, (2) increasing the capacity of educational planners in preparing planning and gender responsive budgeting; (3) perform cooperation with women's studies center / gender in Higher Education in reviewing and finding gender issues in each region, (4) cooperate with the orsos, organizations, and NGOs in developing a model of gender equitable education in family and society, and (5 ) develop media Communication, Information and Education. All the above strategies lead to the realization of justice and gender equality in education which was implemented to: (1) increased access of all inhabitants of educational services in all types and channels of education, (2) increasing women's participation in any policy making, program planning, and implementation courses at all levels of the education bureaucracy, (3) enhancing the ability of men and women in managing information resources and knowledge, and (4) men and women get the same benefits of all educational programs conducted.

Conducted during the development of education has provided a very significant impact in improving the education level of the Indonesian population, followed by a decrease in disparities between groups of society. Even in terms of access, participation rates at all levels of education is equal between men and women as indicated by the gender parity index approaching 1.0. Nevertheless depth study to identify gender gaps are not only focused on achievement differences between men and women but also the gap caused by other factors such as socioeconomic status, cultural background, and geography.

Successful implementation of gender mainstreaming in education is largely determined by the commitment of policy makers, both at central and local governments (provincial / district / city) are realized in: (1) gender responsive policies; (2) human resource support as gender focal points education; (3) institutional support, and (4) budgetary support, either through the State Budget and Budgets provincial / district / city.

On this occasion, I urge support of the provincial government and district / city to jointly hand in hand and realize the vision and mission through support of national education budgets and policies, affirmative. I am sure, the realization of the vision and mission in an optimal, justice and gender equality in education will be realized.

An end to this greeting, I want to say thank you to all parties, particularly the Government of the Province of Central Java and East Nusa Tenggara and Kebumen and Kupang which already has a large commitment in doing PUG Education Sector. Through this dissemination activity I wish there was mutual understanding and agreement to mewujudnya justice and gender equality in education, either through the state budget and local budget allocations.

By saying Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, officially Mainstreaming Gender socialization activities for the Education Sector, Ministry of National Education in 2010, I declare open.
