This article deals with the language of instruction, also called ‘the least appreciated of all the major educational problems’. It shows how little attention is paid to this issue in donor policies as well as in the recent ‘World Bank education strategy 2020’. Donors to education in Africa seem to focus on learning outcomes but they do not see that in order to improve learning outcomes, a key focus must be on support to the development and use of the most appropriate language of instruction and literacy from the learner’s perspective. The article discusses the ‘quality’ of education and the point is made that quality of education cannot be separated from the important question of which language should be used for education. Retaining the former colonial languages as languages of instruction may serve a small elite but works to the disadvantage of the majority of Africans. The language of instruction is a powerful mechanism for social stratification, increasing inequalities. Towards the end of the article the myth of the many languages in Africa is discussed.

<p class="apa">In 1992, the Ministry of Education and Culture in Namibia created a new language policy for schools that presented the possibility of using English as the sole medium of instruction for students starting in Grade 1. The resulting increase in schools that offer only English instruction has been detrimental to education. In order to improve the quality of education available to students in Namibia, the implementation of the language policy must be revisited so that students have the opportunity to first learn in their mother tongues and develop the necessary skills that they will need to be successful.</p>

The issue of improving the quality of education has always been the focusof the various stakeholders in education. One of the objectives is to prepare learning outcomes (LO) that have competitiveness with their competitors. In addition, also to prepare the LO has the power sanding so that it can be in harmony with the era that has entered this disruptive era. The paper is intended to see how the policy relevance of the government to address the problem. The author uses a management approach in reviewing existing data. This paper uses literature review and is reinforced with data from the field. The results of this paper are several facts - including the following alternative facts: the government through the Ministry of Education with the policy of Curriculum 2013 and Kemenristek Dikti through the Presidential Decree on the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) began to make efforts to improve education. There is a paradigm shift, previously focused only on cognitive development, or already towards the affective and psychomotor spheres but still very minimal, and unstructured evaluation, is now more systematic to achieve not only the cognitive, but affective, psychomotor sphere by considering multiple intelligence. Based on these facts it can be concluded that there is a match between education and community needs, so that the crisis of moral decadence, the competence of hope can be overcome. On the same side, the 2013 curriculum is nothing but a government instrument to control the quality of education that is oriented towards quality assurance. Finally, the government -designed education is expected to encourage LOs capable of competence, competitiveness and sanding power that is in harmony with the times. Isu perbaikan mutu pendidikan selalu menjadi fokus dari pelbagaipemangku kepentingan dalam pendidikan.

Tulisan ditujukan untuk melihat bagaimanarelevansi kebijakan yang diambil pemerintah untuk mengatasipermasalahan tersebut. Penulis menggunakan pendekatan manajemendalam mengulas data yang ada. Tulisan ini menggunakan kajian pustakadan dikuatkan dengan data dari lapangan. Hasil dari tulisan ini adalahbeberapa fakta –termasuk di dalamnya fakta alternatif sebagai berikut:pemerintah melalui Kementerian Pendidikan dengan kebijakan Kurikulum2013 dan Kemenristek Dikti melalui Kepres tentang Kerangka KualifikasiNasional Indonesia (KKNI) mulai melakukan usaha perbaikan pendidikan.Ada pergeseran paradigma, yang sebelumnya hanya terfokus padapengembangan kognitif, atau sudah menuju ranah afektif dan  psikomotor namun masih sangat minim, dan evaluasi yang tidak terstruktur, saat ini lebih sistematis untuk mencapai tidak hanya ranah kognitif, namun afektif, psikomotor dengan mempertimbangkan multiple intelegence. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwasannya sudah ada kesesuaian antara pendidikan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat, sehingga krisis dekadensi moral, kompetensi harapannya dapat diatasi. Pada sisi yang sama ;kurikulum 2013 tidak lain sebagai instrumen pemerintah untuk mengkontrol mutu pendidikan yang beorientasi pada jaminan mutu. Terakhir, pendidikan yang didesain pemerintah diharapkan mampu mendorong LO yang mampu mempunyai kompetensi, daya saing dan daya sanding yang selaras dengan zamannya.
