REFLECTION ON THE LATEST PISA RESULTS OF INDONESIA

In order to improve the quality of education, the Indonesian education system faces tremendous obstacles. Poor scores in reading, mathematics, and science on the most recent PISA indicate problems with teaching quality, infrastructure, facilities, curriculum, and assessment processes. Indonesia has a traditional approach to education that emphasizes rote learning and memorization, and the language of instruction is mainly Indonesian. To increase the quality of education, the government must invest more in teacher education programs, infrastructure and facilities, and curriculum and assessment system change. By providing better training and resources for teachers, modernizing school buildings and equipment, and incorporating new subjects and skills into the curriculum, Indonesia can give students more options and prepare them for the challenges of the global economy.
