Campus Connect Weekly Contest - Week 13 - 24 hours as a Vice Chancellor of your university

Thanks for this good contest. Rarely get the opportunity to become vice chancellor. Even if it's only 24 hours. If I became vice chancellor during that period of time I would change a few things.

The most important parts that must be addressed in education in my country Indonesia, among others are:

1. The curriculum must be made by a competent party in the field of education for the future, and in its manufacture can work together with experienced experts both in terms of implementation, theory and the educational environment. .Currently, many experts claim to be competent, but in reality, they only master the theoretical side, but do not master the practical side of a science that will be taught based on the curriculum.

2. Quality (Competence) of Resource Persons (Teachers, Lecturers), many qualities of Resource Persons (Teachers and Lecturers) only master the theory which is repeated every year, without mastering the vision, mission, and objectives of the knowledge conveyed, so often the tasks given to children only.fulfillment of tasks without being able to control and evaluate student success.Supporting facilities (Teaching and Teaching Aids) Facilities to support teaching and learning activities are inadequate, making it difficult for Resource Persons (Teachers, Lecturers) to transform knowledge from Resource Persons to students.

3. The development of existing Modules, Modules (Sylabus) based on the guidelines and provisions of the Central and Regional Governments, is very difficult because the existing Modules do not provide guidance on how to develop modules, either Customize or Tailor Made, so it is difficult to adapt them to suit your needswork environment (business) as the final destination in the implementation of science

4. Religious education, especially Islamic religious education, should not be focused on khilafiyah matters but on philosophical matters, why a rule in religion can be formed and what is its initial purpose. .and must also be taught how to live in a plural society by prioritizing the values ​​of humanism.

5. Basic logic education, this is important to be given so that students can understand the correct logic flow and what are common logic errors that occur in society, if possible also teach how to solve problems independently using the scientific method. .The results of this education are expected to reduce the number of netizens who always use subjectivity when arguing and make students critical in accepting their lessons.

6. Cultural education must be taught to understand culture from the point of view of the cultural owner so that it is not easy to judge other people's cultures and also be taught cultural values ​​according to the school's location. .if possible also taught the importance of hard work as a culture because Indonesia is still lacking in a culture of hard work.

All education should have a background from conditions in the community so that students are more motivated to learn.

7. Give students the freedom to choose certain subjects
Indonesia is famous for its education system that requires students to master all subjects. However, there are a lot of subjects taught. .Of course to master everything, students tend to find it difficult. Sometimes because there is so much material to learn, students become confused about where to focus. Students should be given the freedom to choose what subjects they will study later. .so that students will avoid feeling lazy to study and make it easier for them to focus on their favorite fields.

8. Make school a fun place
In Indonesia, school is sometimes a frightening specter for some students. .Usually there are 2 factors, if it wasn't for the teacher who was fierce it would be because the schoolwork was fairly heavy for them. Whereas the meaning of education according to Ki Hadjar Dewantara himself, namely a means of learning and teaching activities that are fun. .the stigma about school being boring and not fun should be removed. In addition, it is necessary to create a pleasant learning atmosphere, so that students can feel at home in participating in the ongoing KBM.

9. Empowering teachers with appropriate salaries
Anyone knows that being a teacher is a very noble job. In the past, a teacher was always respected and respected because of his knowledge. But today there are many cases that befell a teacher. .from being imprisoned by his own students to getting unpleasant treatment from his students. Especially the honorary teachers who often get paid that is not in accordance with their service to the country.

10. Do not make grades as a benchmark for student intelligence.
There are 2 more intelligences that are actually more important than IQ, namely emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ). Students who are considered stupid in academic values ​​are not necessarily stupid in terms of emotional and spiritual. So, school assessments should also consider EQ and SQ.

I will apply the above if I am given the opportunity to become vice chancellor.
