MENGAPA PERLU PENDIDIK DAN TENAGA KEPENDIDIKAN UNTUK PENDIDIKAN LUAR SEKOLAH (NONFORMAL)
Starting with a proposition that if formal education is highly developed, there will be no need for non-formal education programs, and consequently there is no need for non-formal educators and education personnel. However, the real situation in the industrialized countries of the US and Japan is the opposite. Non-formal education programs in developed countries have been developed and become an inseparable part of the teaching and learning community. If industrial countries still need non-formal education programs, then the need is indeed more urgent in developing countries, such as Indonesia, including the provision of non-formal education and teaching staff, but of course not the same qualifications as 'formal' educators and education staff The responsibility for character building for the young generation must remain in the hands of parents (family education as the first and foremost center) and cannot be left to school teachers alone.
