This paper is aimed to render an analysis on how the impression of linguistic imperialism of English in the era of globalization would affect Language Teaching of English in Indonesian context. English is known to globally spread very rapidly. Starting from the two major diasporas in 16th and 18th century, now, English is accepted in even more countries through the initiatives which is claimed as a practice of Linguistics Imperialism. Indonesia, unlike other neighboring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and the Phillipines, has a very little exposure on English due to never become regulated under the British colonial. Hence, English has never been widely spoken in the Indonesian society. But in contrast, English is taught in Indonesian schools as a compulsory subject in grade 7 of secondary school to University levels and considered very important compared to other subjects in Indonesian education system. This is proven by the fact that English is tested the Indonesian national examination (Minister of National Education, 2007). This paper discusses about both the historic view and present-day view of ELT as a form of Linguisitics Imperialism to be noted and anticipated in the practice of ELT in Indonesia in order to plan for a more benefitting reason. Hopefully, by being aware of these issues and accusations, ELT in Indonesia will advance better in the future.

National Examination (NE) in education system always becomes a debatable issue particularly in Indonesia. One of the never-ending discussions is that the disadvantages of the NE is assumed to overweigh its advantages that leads the government to plan the withdrawal of the NE in the future. Before the withdrawal of the NE is undertaken, the government needs to further consider some aspects in regard to the usefulness and drawbacks of the NE from different aspects. Hence, this paper will address three aspects of the NE implementation in Indonesia namely its social impacts on students and other parties, lack of usefulness of the NE results and potential misleading and inaccurate information of the NE results. Expectedly, the decision, whether it is to withdraw or maintain the NE, can be beneficial for the improvement of the national education quality.

Stratified Sample

Private tuition or shadow education is a self-contained activity. It is a system that exists parallel to the national education system. The scale of private tuition has witnessed a worldwide skyrocketing increase. The present research sheds light on the determinants that lead to the demand/ supply of private tuition. It examines the issue from the perspectives of the tutors, the tutees and the parents. The stratified sample in the study represents the population of JamaleddineElafghani Secondary School Mascara. The research tools utilised are a questionnaire to the learners, an interview to both the parents and the teachers and observation of sessions of PT to have a complete image of the situation under study. The results demonstrate that the national education system inadequacies like high stake examination, inexperience teachers and large classes have a great impact on the widespread of this phenomenon. The recommendation we suggest is regulating and thus harnessing this activity, or finding an alternative.

This work reconstructs opinions concerning national education in independent Poland presented in 1916-1918 in the magazine titled Szkoła Polska (Polish School) – a body of a local division of Stowarzyszenie Nauczycielstwa Polskiego (Polish Teachers’ Association) in Lublin. The main goal of education was understood as instilling patriotism in the young generation of Poles based on their own most valuable achievements rather than on remembrance of injuries and persecution suffered at the hands of the enemy. It was believed that the memory of the past should be cherished, yet it could not dominate the present and the future. It was demanded that 7-year obligatory elementary schools should be established as well as 4-year secondary schools and 3-4-year occupational schools. What was deemed important was the need to involve illiterate adults in mandatory schooling and to provide additional education to graduates. It was maintained that the reborn Polish education system should be open to the latest pedagogical trends and, most of all, it should replace verbalism and teaching from books with teaching through experience. It was the teachers that were supposed to guarantee good education of children and teenagers, as they were active, creative, independent, had requisite professional qualifications, and were willing to self-educate.

Precarious Situation

The secondary school performance of Ghomara’s students (coastal area of Chefchaouen province, Rif Mountain, Morocco) is deeply influenced by the cultivation of cannabis practiced by many Ghomarian families. To highlight this relationship, a field study was conducted with students, their parents, and other stakeholders through the adoption of a quantitative and qualitative sociological approach. It then appears that most of the students, especially boys, from cannabis families had annual averages assessment marks (AAM) less than 10/20. These marks do not allow them to continue their schooling. In addition, other factors are added to aggravate the already precarious situation, such as the need for manpower to carry out family farming activities, the social reluctance towards education, the inadequacy of education system to the labour market and the mistrust of the local population to the reforms of the national education system recently proposed by the government.

The Status

Implementation of national education system law number 20 year 2003 apparently brings out new problem. some articles arranging the kinds of education, educational management, and majors (articles number 15, 18, 30) do not give a clear explanation or direction of what, where, and how the legal status of Madrasah Aliyah Keagamaan (MAK). The problematic’ implication of the unclarity of such legal messages is that the madrasah stake-holders not only confused in understanding the status or position of the MAK, but also the status of MAK institution itself becomes very problematic. the article tries to describe the real condition of MAK today including the problems faced by madrasah itself, the real needs and public aspiration toward the existence of MAK, and also the management of tafaqquh fiddin programs of MAK in the future.

New Phase

Undang-undang No.2 Tahun 1989 tentang Sistem Pen-didikan Nasional mengamanatkan madrasah ditransformasi dari lembaga pendidikan agama menjadi sekolah yang berciri agama Islam. Pada status yang baru madrasah harus bekerja keras memenuhi tuntutan stakeholders. Penelitian tentang transformasi Madrasah Aliyah (MA) ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian adalah ada enam masalah yang diidentifikasi yaitu (1) kapasitas manajemen, (2) kurikulum, (3) keterbatasan SDM, (4) orientasi akademik, (5) ujian nasional, (6) otonomi daerah. Secara kelembagaan, MA ada tiga tipe, yaitu MA Plus, MA Salf Tafaqqubfiddin, dan MA dengan pembelajaran ke-agamaan lebih banyak. Ada tiga model yang diaplikasikan yaitu institusional sebagai model utama, model sain terintegrasi, dan model manajemen terpadu. Penerapan model tersebut perlu memperhatikan kesesuaian karakter, konteks, dan setting MA. Kata kunci: transformasi, madrasah, pendidikan Islam, tipologi model ______________________________________________________________TRANSFORMATION OF MADRASAH IN NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM Abstract According to 1989 Education System Act No. 2, and  1990 Government Regulation  No. 28, Madrassas as edu-cational institutions have transform from educational religion to “Schools Characterized by the Islamic teachings”. With this new status, the madrassas entered into a new phase of struggle, from their legal status into meeting the needs and the expectations of their stakeholders. In case of implementation of its transformation, the result of this qualitative – phenol-menology approach, there were identified six problems of MA: (1) management capacity, (2) curriculum, (3) limited human resources, (4) academic orientation and science dichotomy (5) national examination, and (6) local government autonomy. Institutionally  there are three major types of MA:  (1) MA plus, (2) MA Salaf – Tafaqquh fiddin, (3) MA enriched with religious teachings. Based on the problems identified and the types of MA put into consideration, three models are offered as the results of social action study, i.e. (1) institutional model – streaming model, (2) integrated science model, and (3) integrated management model. The result of this study is methodologically idiographic, and the compatibility of these models depend upon the appropriateness of the characters, context and setting of an MA.Keywords: transformation, madrasah, Islamic education, tipology, model

<p>The Act No. 20, 2003 of National Education System explains that Madrasah Aliyah as an Islamic educational institution has been equated with other public schools. This equivalence does not change automatically the public of Gorontalo perception toward Madrasah Aliyah as a second choice. Such perception affects the community interest to send their children to Madrasah Aliyah. However, Madrasah Aliyah in Gorontalo still has great prospect in<br />the future. So some very urgent improvement and imaging is performed by Madrasah Aliyah. This improvement is very important because most people see Madrasah Aliyah as second-class school and its graduates do not have brilliant future. In fact, Madrasah Aliyah can create human resources who<br />have intact insight, are divinity insight, social insight and scientific insight. <br /><br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong></strong><br />Madrasah Aliyah sebagai sebuah lembaga pendidikan Islam telah disetarakan kedudukannya dengan sekolah umum lainnya berdasarkan UU No. 20 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional RI Tahun 2003.Meski posisinya setara, tidak serta merta merubah persepsi masyarakat Gorontalo terhadap Madrasah Aliyah sebagai pilihan kedua. Persepsi seperti ini mempengaruhi minat<br />masyarakat untuk menyekolahkan anak-anaknya ke Madrasah Aliyah. Meski demikian, Madrasah Aliyah di Gorontalo masih memiliki prospek yang besar di masa depan. Maka beberapa terobosan yang sangat urgen dilaksanakan adalah pembenahan dan pencitraan terhadap Madrasah Aliyah. Ini penting karena<br />sebagian besar masyarakat memandang Madrasah Aliyah sebagai sekolah kelas dua serta lulusan Madrasah Aliyah yang tidak memiliki jaminan masa depan yang cemerlang. Padahal, Madrasah Aliyah dapat menciptakan sumber daya manusia yang memiliki wawasan yang utuh yaitu wawasan ketuhanan, wawasan kemasyarakatan dan wawasan keilmuan.<br /><br /></p>

Future Of Education

Since its inception in 2000, the international comparative survey of education qua­lity PISA has become a globally recognized powerful lever for improving national education systems, determining their state and development trends according to internationally agreed indicators based on measurements using internationally agreed tools (tests and questionnaires) and procedures for preparation, administration and evaluation of results. In 2015, the OECD launched the "Future of Education and Skills 2030" project, aimed at developing the foundations for an effective education system for the future, the first phase of which culminated in 2019 with the creation of the OECD Learning Compass 2030, a conceptual framework for future school curricula and studying in a learner context. At the second stage, it is planned to create the foundations of effective educating in the context of a teacher. These documents should play the role of the foundation for making the PISA program better by improving, first of all, the PISA subject frameworks in the main domains: reading, mathematics and natural sciences. For the effective improvement of Ukraine's education system, it is important not only to analyse its current state, in particular, its PISA-2018 results, but also to pursue a long-term educational policy aimed at developing an educational model that is based on national educational and cultural achievements and traditions, and is also consistent with the developments of the OECD project "The Future of Education and Skills 2030". The article analyzes the key ideas of the OECD Learning Compass 2030 and discusses some issues of their implementation in the educational practice of Ukraine.

<p>The policy of the National Examination (UN) continues to get criticism from education experts, practitioners, as well as various elements of society. With the  problems happen in the implementation of National Examination, it can be af-firmed that the impacts of its implementation are more harmful than the objec-tives to be achieved. Considering the imbalances and disadvantages of the Na-tional Examination implementation, the government through the Ministry of Education should have to be more thoughtful and immediately review the policy  comprehensively. Thus, the purpose of education should be tailored to the interests of Indonesia, which is stated and defined in the the National Education Law No. 20/ 2003 on National Education System Chapter II, Article 3. <br /><br /><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Kebijakan Ujian Nasional (UN) terus menuai kritik dari para pakar dan praktisi pendidikan serta berbagai kalangan  masyarakat. Melihat banyaknya permasalahan dan carut-marut dalam pelaksanaan Ujian Nasional dapat ditegaskan bahwa dampak dari penyelenggaraan UN lebih banyak mudaratnya dari pada tujuan yang ingin dicapai. Menilik berbagai ketimpangan dan kemudaratan yang ditim bulkan akibat pelaksanaan UN, maka seyogianya pemerintah melalui Kemendiknas harus bersikap lebih bijaksana dan segera mengkaji ulang kebijakan UN secara komprehensif. Dengan demikian maka tujuan pendidikan yang hendak dicapaipun disesuaikan dengan kepentingan bangsa Indonesia, yang sekarang ini<br />tujuan pendidikan tersebut dirumuskan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20 tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional (UU sisdiknas) BAB II pasal 3.<br /> </p>
