SEAMEO.NETwork has been created to bring together education information, resources, articles, and feedback from the general education community. We provide education development information and resources in the areas of education technology, scholarships, School-Based Management, education policy, etc.
We also provide student and teacher forums and many other avenues for visitor participation including the posting of articles from the field. The main purpose of the site is to assist education practicioners and learners in the field. [New Visitors]
For the past 12 years we have been working for and with anyone who shared our interest in Indonesian education. We have answered thousands of questions from the field, placed many thousands of comments and registrations on our websites, and responded to education issues as they have emerged, sometimes requiring the creation of special sites to highlight the issues.
Because our target audience is Indonesian education practitioners and the Ministry of Education our work has been conducted in the Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia). We are gradually translating information and articles that we believe will be of interest into English language, and we are currently trying to collect together a team of Online Education Mentors.

What Is A Quality Education?
Teacher-based education where the welfare and abilities of the teachers are satisfactory, and the schools are in good condition, with a curriculum that meets the needs of the students, and is 'well balanced' (includes many forms of skills training including technology), that is implemented using Active Contextual Learning is the solution for preparing our children for the challenges of the future.

Why did we register the domain SEAMEO.NET?
Our original Pendidikan Network websites were hosted in Pakistan, but in the late 90s we were offered free hosting at seameo.net. However, the closure of this service forced us to create our own hosting service. We subsequently purchased this domain and maintain it because many of our old links are still active in search engines and on websites. Seameo.Net/Pendidikan/, PT, SM, SLTP, etc.
General Ongoing Issues
 Of course "Indonesia Can!" But when? When will the Ministry of Education begin to overcome the 'culture of corruption', and fokus upon the development and futures of our citizens, instead of allowing opportunities for the ongoing rape of our limited education budget?
"Corruption occurs at all levels including the Ministry of Education (MoE), Regional Education Offices, and Schools" (ICW) "District Education Offices have become the institutions that are most corrupt, and are the largest source of corrupt individuals compared to other institutions." (ICW: 5 Years Analysis of Eradicating Corruption in Education).

"President: Don't Let There Be Any Schools In Poor Codition"
( President RI, 2008 - Apparently Everybody Forgot Sir! )
JAKARTA--MI: (In Brief) President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono asked the MOE and district heads not to allow any school buildings to be in poor condition in context with the new 20 percent APBN 2009 education budget."
To the Govenors, District Heads (Bupati) and Mayors (Walikota) I ask that you no longer have any schools that are in a pitiful state of repair. The president, when opening the Astronomy and Astrophysics Olimpiade at the National Palace, said that he will check the situation in the districts Wednesday (20/8).
You won't need to go very far Mr President.........
70 Percent Of School Buildings in DKI (Jakarta) Are In Bad Repair
JAKARTA--MI: About 70% of Primary and Junior Secondary buildings (SD-SMP) in DKI Jakarta are damaged. In order to repair them, the Provincial Government (Pemprov) DKI must ask for assistance from the central government.
If 70% of schools in Jakarta are in poor repair, what is the situation like in the outer districts???
"We Must Improve Teaching & Learning Activities"
(Phillip Rekdale)
"We believe that improving the quality of Teaching and Learning Activities (TLA) is the most important issue related to achieving quality education in Indonesia. However, before we discuss specific TLA issues we need to discuss some general issues and define some specific issues that determine the quality of education."
"At the Senior High School lever (SMU/A/K) we can still see many learning activities in the schools that are not yet Student Centered. Maybe because there are still many teachers that aren't familiar with the process, or as we sometimes hear, the teachers are still doubtful that they can finish the curriculum on time using PAKEM methodology. However, by utilizing the PAKEM L/T process the students can learn very quickly and enjoy the learning experience while gaining other forms of learning i.e. life skills, self-mangement, independence, research, etc, while they are learning the main or primary topic."
"It's in Higher Education where we can witness teaching and learning practices in most classes that are very passive. The learning process is usually very 'lecturer centered' with the students tending to "sit sweetly", and they are rarely involved actively in the learning process."
Unfortunately "sitting sweetly" is what most of them end up doing for the rest of their lives, "60 Percent of Higher Education Graduates Are Unemployed", moreover we can only guess at how many of the 40% that are employed are in meaningful employment (the vast majority appear to work outside their field).
