REALIZING QUALITY EDUCATION AS A GOAL OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) IN INDONESIA

Introduction

Realizing quality education as a goal of the sustainable development goals (sdgs) in indonesia. Analyze Indonesia's progress and challenges in achieving Quality Education (SDG 4). Discover educational disparities, low PISA scores, and strategic needs for improvement.

Abstract

Quality education is an important foundation in the development of a country. Quality education is a national goal stated in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution, which is to educate the nation's life. In addition to being a national goal, quality education is also a goal that must be achieved in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN), which is the fourth goal. Indonesia has shown strong commitment to achieving these SDGs through various policies and programs. However, there are still many challenges to be faced, such as educational disparities between regions and among social groups, as well as the need for sustainable improvement in education quality. According to various reports, such as the Sustainable Development Report 2023, Indonesia's ranking is still relatively low. Similarly, the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that Indonesia's scores are still declining and far from the global average score. Considering this situation, Indonesia needs strategies to achieve higher quality education.

Review

This paper addresses a critically important and timely topic: the realization of Quality Education (SDG 4) in Indonesia. The abstract effectively highlights the dual imperative of this goal, framing it both as a fundamental national aspiration enshrined in the 1945 Constitution and as a key objective within the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The author's immediate establishment of this context underscores the profound relevance and urgency of the research, positioning quality education as a cornerstone for national development and global alignment. The abstract adeptly identifies significant challenges faced by Indonesia despite its stated strong commitment to SDG 4. The mention of educational disparities across regions and social groups, coupled with the need for sustainable improvements, provides a realistic assessment of the current landscape. Furthermore, the inclusion of recent, authoritative data from the Sustainable Development Report 2023 and the PISA 2022 results robustly supports the claim of declining performance and the urgent need for strategic intervention. While these points clearly establish the problem, the abstract, by its nature, leaves the reader eager for the full paper to elaborate on the specific strategies, methodologies, and innovative approaches that Indonesia could adopt to address these multifaceted issues and move towards higher quality education. Overall, this abstract lays a compelling foundation for a highly relevant and impactful study. It successfully articulates the problem, contextualizes it within national and international frameworks, and supports its claims with recent empirical evidence. The research promises to offer valuable insights into a pressing development challenge. Provided the full paper delivers a robust analysis of existing policies, proposes actionable strategies, and perhaps explores best practices or policy recommendations tailored to the Indonesian context, it will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the discourse on achieving quality education goals within developing nations.
