Halow
Mewengkeng Mr. Justin Felix, as you yourself already know earlier,
lately Surya Institute Jakarta (SIJ) which belongs to Professor Yohanes
Surya praised as a flagship school for the children of Papua left,
apparently drawn protests because of irregularities in the internal
management. Much more has been exploiting the education of children in Papua who mowed each year with a big enough budget.
Also
problems in the SIJ has been a problem Papuan people, because the use
of the budget funds are duly Autonomy Education is devoted to the
interests of Papua. But it's still a budget deviations for some reason.
Although
the protest was denied by Professor Surya, but the point to this moment
has not been satisfying audiences Papua, for SIJ spend billions of
dollars without open and transparent accountability. A
number of districts have deposited billions it, but in fact the program
is also dilkerjakan not change the fiscal year until the area.
How lunge internal problems and the use of Papua special autonomy funds?
This
time the magazine editorial team interviewed Justin Felix Step back
almost Mewengkang SIJ involved in the business these days. Here are excerpts of the interview Sunday on the fourth weekend in August 2013:
Mr. Felix, since when you are working or in collaboration with Surya Institute Jakarta (SIJ)?
Personally I do not work or do not have a contract with PT. Surya
Research International (SURE) or also called Surya Institute Jakarta,
but by assignment as Special Assistant Merauke regent and Government
Liaison in Jakarta so I often interact with Surya Institute well in Siwa
monitoring, and evaluation meetings with staff Surya Institute for
Solar Program Intensive
Program (SIP) for matriculation elementary school, junior high, high
school and college students STKIP Surya Institute for prospective
teachers of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science. Institutionally government has done a MOU between Merauke Merauke regent with Prof. Surya and implemented in the Cooperation Agreement between the Department of Education and Teaching by PT. Surya Research International, Gading Serpong-Tangerang.
What father Felix during routine work in the SIJ?
The
Decree (SK) my assignments as Staff Liaison Merauke local government,
one of the routine tasks of monitoring, assisting, making study and
analysis as well as communicate to the mayor and the Department of
Education related to the policy package Papuan children-especially
Merauke assisted study of Merauke local government. They
study at Surya Institute for SIP program and STKIP-Gading Serpong
Tangerang, STPI waterfall-Tangerang, UKI Cawang, Stipan, STIKOM Bandung.
The
importance of securing education policies for Papuans children because
they are the generation embryo development actors in Papua, as well as
the vision-mission of Merauke regent today is very committed to the
development of human resources as well as the mandate of Papua special
autonomy in particular the field of education.
Anyone who is engaged to work in SIJ?
Professor
Surya Surya is the initiator of the establishment of the Institute in
promoting mathematics and physics for isolated areas. In
a family operation established PT Surya Foundation Surya Research
International and its directors mother Hana Batara Surya and her husband
were instrumental in policy, there is also a Foundation SII (Spirit of
Faith Intellectual) led by Rev.. Izak Surya in charge of spirituality and coaching. Other
personnel are Eng Go as Director of SURE Indonesia, also pack Robby
part KSO care of cooperation with regional governments and Institutions.
Also
there are SIP (Surya Intensive Program) for matrikukasi elementary,
junior high school before the pack as its chairman and Chief Lucky STKIP
and some parts of academic administrators and students. There
is also the Finance Director Gregory Rosariastoko Vishnu and the
Finance Manager Magdalena Loing who make financial reports to the
government.
How do you see the jobs (programs) in the SIJ?
In
my observation since mid-2011, initially I saw that mathematics and
physics courses at Surya Institute looks promising, especially promotion
of Prof. Surya makes Papuan children who could be considered stupid
clever within 6 months let alone the promised follow international
physics olympiad and maths. This poses a tremendous appeal for the Papua regional governments that have committed to develop human resources in Papua.
Initially,
the matriculation program for students in virtually unlimited capacity
quite successful, but in its development when many schools accept
students Surya Institute disoriented both in terms of academic, coaching
and management dorms are quite chaotic due to the pull of interests. The most fundamental thing is: the orientation of school education is not clear where they lead? On
the one hand, Prof. Surya very own ambitions in order to focus more
children in mathematics and physics olympiad program on the other hand
because of the demands of the national education require that children
get a general studies. If
follow the will of Prof. Surya where children focus on math then the
child is not ready to join the national exams, report cards and did not
get a diploma. So could the child be clever math but be dazed to continue school. It
is also the mind of the student's home school where they are required
to fill out report cards of students while students do not learn in
school came in Merauke. Often
conflict between the president and the SIP Kepalah elementary school,
junior high school in the SIP program because it is inconsistent with
the Prof in determining the direction of education.
How the program services to children who are sent to Papua SIJ?
Papuan children should be placed as subjects rather than as objects learners. Surya Institute has made the children of Papua as an object of double interest. First,
when some children entered the Olympic program and earn the victory,
the provincial government would be proud but institutionally Surya
Institute into profit opportunities by recruiting students gain
confidence as-much. Surya Institute has merekret Papuan students from 17 districts and provinces. Each student is like an ATM machine that can make money. For the SIP program in 2012, students are required to pay each month to Rp. 15 million per month, with a number of 332 students, then in a year earn Rp Solar Institute. 59.76 billion yet again with another program.
Huge cost but not balanced with service Surya Institute. There are some striking cost items, namely: small size room accommodation with 4 beds valued Rp. 12
million per month, consumption of 3 million per month with stale food,
sometimes not worth eating, health costs every month although no pain,
no transportation costs meskti transport use. Spiritual
coaching experience misguided due to unavailability of coaches who do
not fit keayakinan, as well as the coaches do not know the basic
kakakter Papuan children. At its core educational Solar Institute is alien to the children of Papua.
What problems happened there?
There
are several main issues namely: Education Orientation increasingly
unclear, occurs pull Olympic program and formal education programs, as
well as problems are minimal facilities and accommodation, as well as
character building children's obscure Papua where they formed. For
children of students from Merauke, provided bus to worship at the
Church of the child while the other students find their way. It is part of the policy that overlap Tindi.
How the losses experienced by the children of Papua?
For elementary school children may be able to feel happy because Jakarta, Jakarta crowded, and a lot of new things can be seen. But the fact is their cultural roots, the roots of faith, and especially away from the caress of parental affection. I have said on Management of Solar so good care of our children because it is definitely going to be facing a lot of obstacles. If mismanaged its affairs so long. It is unfortunate at the Institute for Solar Schools program was 100% SIP Papua and no other tribe. It should be when it's out of Papua is expected to meet with new friends from outside Papua, in fact as moving home. Lack
of recreational facilities and coaching facilities to make children
Papuan villagers carry habits, forgetting indigenous Papuans, forget the
faith and suffered depression in the ground. In
addition, they also do not bring home a diploma Surya Intitut but they
have to return home in Papua for the national matriculation exam
preparation.
What are the disadvantages of the Papuan local government budgets, in terms of funding the Papuans?
Loss of the Papua's budget is huge. In the calculation of minimal cost Surya Institute for SIP program quite 5 million per month. Just compare STKIP students Surya Institute Merauke origin, the calculation is only 28 million persiswa for one year. That means it does not reach 4 million per month. Then it can be imagined how many tens of billions harmed Papuan government. The fee can build patterned boarding school education in some strategic areas.
In
addition, the Government of Papua must pay transportation PP students
upon departure and return and the cost of PP participated in the
national exams each area.
Not
to mention if the Government of Papua treasurer inaccurate financial
statements Surya then maybe there are payments that are not rational. For
example, for high school students Merauke SIP program in 2011, the
program should be 2 years but the reality is only 6 months but the bill
for 2 years.
What's
worse is, the financial statements do not obey the rules of the Solar
Institute, for example, does not explain what the activity, activity
items, receipts and the receiver is not included. This has complicated the official bendaharan and this is already a Provincial CPC findings. We hope CPC Provincial immediately review the financial statements of Surya Institutue in 17 districts of Papua. This is important because it involves money Autonomy, Papua people's money.
According to you, why such problems can occur in the SIJ?
In
our observation, management does not apply clean and good government
would fall within the practice of corruption, collusion and nepotism. For example, the principal does not know that there is a transportation budget items, props. Also a school clinic doctor Surya Institute does not know that every child be charged a monthly SIP, although not sick. Also
problems of communication and coordination of academic and dormitory
sections often overlap Tindi then the victim is a student.
Have there been any response from the SIJ about this issue?
There have been many ways we are doing to suppress in order to reorient the Surya Institute, revitalizing even reorganization. Happened to the children who participated Merauke SIP program and STKIP more than other areas, so we are very concerned. We
were under pressure from the parents, from the Department of Education
in order to fight for the rights of the child are met. Since
late 2011, we were quite active visit the school expressed some
complaints from students and parents, among others, the problem of theft
Merauke HP, clothes, bags and slippers, in addition to the issue of
worship coincidence of Merauke mostly catholic while forcing the school
to participate in worship. Often also with the name of ecumenical, but the reality catholic children become victims. Child complains have forgotten how catholic prayer etc..
According to you, what is going on in SIJ-related vpersoalan this issue?
Much
the way we do, which is go to the Surya Institute if there are problems
in academic, discipline and spirituality, personal approach and the
dialogue is often the case, but in some aspects of the Surya Institute
does not impose such a complaint about the food the students, the more
severe is the business health often mis communication. In
november 2012 home student STKIP Merauke ask Surya dialogue with the
management of related cases by the application of academic leave due to
illness and also the problem of accreditation STKIP. Very clear in the meeting miscommunication and lack of internal coordination.
Why father entrusted to make a proposal?
Way
dialogue we have done so far, even when the dialogue does not result in
any improvement of the way we tempu presure on behalf of the rights of
children in Papua Solar Institute. We
are known to be critical by piihak school, even the Surya Institute
recognizes that input from Merauke government, both the Department and
parents to be a mirror for school improvement. But in fact there is also no improvement.
In March 2013, we try to resort to dialogue in a way to help formulate the Cooperation Agreement and the revised cost. Meeting held after the meeting by presenting the Department of Local Government and Teaching pendididkan Merauke. I then formulate the results of the meeting and pour in the formulation of Cooperation. In principle the idea acceptable only problem we revised cost quite protracted. I then invited by Mr. Batara and Mr. Robby part KSO to help formulate guidance system. I
am quite optimistic at the time by the Institute for Solar system
change by becoming part of the system and be implementing the system. I then asked to create a design partnership that operational budgeting. There
are three packages offered cooperation, namely: Develop blueprint
pembinan and systems and methods based boarding school education, to two
categorical spiritual care students as well as research collaboration
to study and even to offer to business alligator by Eng Go and Batara. For
my final offer so confused with the orientation of the educational
institutions that want to move in the solar business, I am more
interested in cooperation arrange package blueprin categorical service
systems and spiritual guidance. For
the first package I assembled a team of experts to conduct focus group
discussions, review of systems and mentoring program for 2 dormitories
in different places. Similarly, the categorical service team will be formed alternately. Surprisingly,
after the proposal so without reason and offers the first package was
rejected while the package offered to two seminal possible. We
assumed that the refusal of a package of changes to systems and methods
that have no intention of coaching the future system improvements. With the rejection of the first packet then we also refuse to cooperate.
Later
on, a proposal that we set up in the form of a draft without the
consent of both parties as a reason to squeeze Foundation. According to Eng Go will use the money we own, while Hana Solar stated that we did not manage to squeeze Foundation.
Indeed
the allegations beyond our expectations, we should feel squeezed
because during several meetings of our ideas or use utilized by Surya to
build trust with the Government of Papua. Ideas we also included in the roadmap Solar Institute. It is a betrayal of the educational mission. We assess the Surya Institute of like a pot calling the kettle!
The future will be like what the fate of their children's education in Papua SIJ?
Surya Institute school like a boat being shaky and threatened with drowning. Educational
institutions are shaky makes dizzy Papua kids will even bring financial
headache for Government of Papua because these can not be accounted for
by the Solar Institute. In addition, dead school life is very dependent on the Surya Institute of Papuan children. Merauke governments have moved all pupils SIP and start followed by other local governments. School
without the student will be closed, schools without the means it will
be avoided, the school with the corrupt management will bring harm. Today, students accommodated in the dormitory SIP Kinasih for a period of one year, after that going? Likewise permit school until now not clear. For Surya STKIP yet accredited. In
July the school yesterday to make the lie to the Papuan students by
making the announcement that the school is accredited, in fact not yet
accredited.
For
elementary students, do not expect the Olympic program, because not all
gifted students towards the Olympics, Papua progress is not determined
by segelinter performing students.
Father of Education as a consultant, might there be measures to avoid the problems that occurred in the SIJ?
For now, the Government of Papua should see the real loss there. Try reconsider cooperation agreement, should Revised Cost and Rationalize financing. When
the Surya Institute does not prepare financial statements in accordance
Provincial CPC standards, it's better not to pay the debt before any
clear accountability. If the debt payment burden of the problem and it will be dealt with later Provincial CPC.
Immediately
take strict measures for children, whether sue the school for basic
repairs or forced to move the students so that there is certainty of
formal schooling.
What is your opinion about children's education solutions Papua ayng been mowed to SIJ?
Government of Papua should unite demanded certainty of the Solar Institute. Apabilah government had harmed the party Surya apology is not enough but the release of payment due to negligence in service. In
addition, the financial statements do not conform Surya Institute
standard government financial statements, then it is time to take
decisive steps to hold accountable Solar Institute. In addition, if the orientation of education does not have a legal basis then immediately perjalas status.
Immediately took the rare move of pupils on the issues drawn Surya Instutute. Better to build a school in Papua flagship of the school building outside of Papua. * (MS)
