Germany, teacher should be a person who works at that field. So he knows much

about the field. Example, teacher of Technical Vocational School must be a
technician, who really masters in his field.

I don‟t say that there is no use to go to the senior high school and university. We do

need academically smart people to think about the development and improvement of

Indonesia. Still, we need them as a good thinker, to think how to make this country
be in a good prosperity. But not in large number. These people are the chosen ones

graduating from senior high school and continuing studying at the university.

However, the others may go to the Vocational High School, in which they learn and

practice skill. We know that, Vocational High School prepares students to work as
soon as they graduate. There are a lot of vacancies available. They may fulfill them

in the local industry. Otherwise, they may be an entrepreneur since they have
knowledge about entrepreneurship and competencies, that they have learnt on the

Vocational High School, to be called as a skilled people.

Then, the government starts to promote Vocational High School which offers skill in

each field. As stated in Strategic Plan 2010-2014 (Renstra 2010-2014), Ministry of
National Education targets the ratio of students studying at Senior High School to

Vocational High School is 33% : 67% in 2014. Gradually, Vocational High School
becomes more popular than it was. Indonesian people respond this policy very well.

Their mindset has changed. It is proved by the increasing of the number of students
studying at Vocational High School in most of areas in Indonesia.

In Malang East Java, for example, there were 12 Senior High Schools and 8

Vocational High School. Responding the policy, there are 10 Senior High Schools
and 12 Vocational High Schools now.
