PENINGKATAN SEKOLAH NASIONAL PLUS DI INDONESIA – PENDIDIKAN UNTUK ORANG TUA DAN PEMERINTAH AbstractThis paper explores a social movement that has happened in Indonesia in the field of education. It also explores its effect to ‘educate’ the government as well as most parents in the country about the education quality in Indonesia. The exploration focuses on how this new concept of education which is referred as National Plus school was introduced to society that has encouraged many people to develop the schools with the same (national plus) concept. It also focuses on the parents who have learnt more about the new education system then participate in it by sending their children to such the schools. Not only in the grass root level, has it also focused onthe factors of the government who was indirectly forced to respond this phenomenon by developing international-leveled school. This movement has happened nationally within the last 10 years and has changed the national curriculum as well as educational system, including the recognition of special needs students among the government schools. This movement has changed the old conventional style of education that was commonly found in Indonesian national schools.Keywords: adult learning, National Plus, national education, movementAbstrakArtikel ini membahas tentang sebuah gerakan sosial yang terjadi di Indonesia di bidang pendidikan.

Eksplorasi berfokus pada konsep pendidikan baru yang disebut dengan istilah “Sekolah Nasional Plus” yang diperkenalkan kepada masyarakat yang telah mendorong banyak orang untuk mengembangkan sekolah dengan konsep yang sama (nasional plus). Artikel ini juga berfokus pada orang tua yang telah belajar lebih banyak tentang sistem pendidikan baru yang kemudian melibatkan mereka berpartisipasi di dalamnya dengan mengirimkan anak-anak mereka kesekolah-sekolah tersebut. Tidak hanya di tingkat dasar, tetapi juga difokuskan pada faktor-faktor pemerintah yang secara tidak langsung dipaksa untuk menanggapi fenomena ini dengan mengembangkan sekolah berstandar internasional. Gerakan ini terjadi secara nasional dalam jangka waktu 10 tahun dan telah mengubah kurikulum nasional serta sistem pendidikan nasional, termasuk pengakuan dari siswa berkebutuhan khusus di antara sekolah-sekolah pemerintah. Gerakan ini telah mengubah gaya konvensional pendidikan yang umum ditemukan di sekolah-sekolah nasional di Indonesia.Kata kunci: pembelajaran orang dewasa, National Plus, pendidikan nasional, gerakan

Nahdlatul Ulama

This article aims to offer a textual analysis of Rahima and Fahmina’s publications. Rahima and Fahmina are two Non-Government Organizations founded in 2000 by a young generation of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), one of the largest moderate Muslim organizations in Indonesia. There are more similarities than differences between Rahima and Fahmina because the persons involved in the organizations are close friends and, in fact, the same persons even though both are based in two different cities. Since their foundation, both Rahima and Fahmina have published many books and magazines. This article argues that both Rahima dan Fahmina publications offer a new grounded feminist approach to Islam, which counterbalance the dominant male-biased normative approach to Islam in most Muslim societies. These publications are based on their feminist activism and community engagement with the grass-root level of many Nahdlatul Ulama pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools). The topics of their publication cover many current issues such as fiqh of women’s reproductive rights and empowerment, fiqh of the daily life of migrant workers, fiqh of anti-trafficking, prevention of child marriage, violent extremism and religious pluralism. As a result, the progressive nature of their publications negates the existing label of NU as the traditionalist organization.

A good deal of literature on child abuse has accumulated since Kempe and his group first described the "Battered Child Syndrome."1 Enlightened laws have been passed in the various states and management transferred from the police into the hands of social agencies. Furthermore, the reporting physician was protected from libel. However, at the grass root level, conditions are far from ideal. Physicians are unfamiliar with the various laws and are reluctant to report for fear of getting involved in unpleasant situations.

Urbanisation leads to house densification, a phenomenon experienced in both planned and unplanned settlements in cities in developing countries. Such densification limits fire brigade access into settlements, thereby aggravating fire disaster risks. In this article, we assess the fire exposure and risks in residences in informal areas of Mchikichini ward, in Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania. We rely on interviews of residents and government officials to obtain background on the occurrence and causes of fire accidents, policy provisions and regulations, and experiences with fire outbreaks and coping strategies, as well as on observations and measurements of house transformations, spatial quality and indoor real life. Our findings suggest that fire risks arise from both inappropriate structural characteristics and unsound behavioural practices. This includes unsafe electric practices by residents, poor capacity of residents to fight fires once started, limited access to structures by firefighting equipment because of flouting of planning regulations and inadequate awareness of local government leaders of the magnitude of fire risks. Potential changes to reduce fire risks in the settlement include the installation of firefighting systems, restriction of cooking to designated spaces, use of safer cooking energy sources and lighting means, improvements of vehicle access routes to neighbourhoods, capacity building at the grass root level and the establishment of community-based fire risk management.

Local government is visualised as a tool for promoting political participation, downward accountability, which consequently leads to the establishment of good governance at the grass-root level. In the establishment of the local government system, the main ingredients of good governance, such as participation and downward accountability, reckon almost on the nature of elections. However, societies marked with strong cultural and socially embedded informal institutions, already existed from generations, hinder formal institutions to play its intended role. In Pakistan, some socio-cultural features like gender, ascribed status, and economic background of the individuals influence the entire process of elections adversely. This paper attempts to assess the processes of the local government elections in District Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. It aims to highlight the deterministic role of other informal institutional forces that affect the outcome of local elections. It investigates, how the process of local government elections is influenced in Pakistan and how do people decide whom to vote for in these elections. The study argues that policymakers should work on strengthening the formal institutions of elections through measures such as monitoring by media, referendums, auditing, evaluations, education, and political awareness as alternatives to ensure good governance at the local level in Pakistan.

A paradigm shift in the political system has been taken in Bangladesh on 12 October, 2015 with the final approval by the Cabinet to hold local polls on partisan basis. The long historical practice of non-partisan local polls has been shifted to first ever partisan poll that brought major challenges for the existing confrontational political parties of Bangladesh. Ruling Bangladesh Awami League considered demonstrating its popularity at grass-root level and controlled all political institution through this election while Bangladesh Nationalist Party had opposed these partisan local government elections as a political trick with an ill motive by the government. For the first time in Independent Bangladesh, 9th Union Parishad[1](UP) election hold on partisan basis at six phases across the country from March to June 2016. The articles tried to explore the experiences of this maiden partisan UP polls and what are the immediate consequences on the local governance as well as electoral system through reviewing seceondary materials specially the Daily Newspapers. Unfortunately massive violence, record deaths and uncontested elected Chairman, election fraughts & irregularities, reluctant role of Election Commission, strong dominant of ruling party over electoral system were common phenomenon in this maiden partisan election.[1] Lowest tier of rural local government in Bangladesh.
