"The struggle for liberty.. is the struggle for equality"
(Isiah Berlin, in two concept of liberty)
Adoption laws BHP (Education Corporation) makes surprise students; worried, insecure, desperate, furious clearly etched on their faces. Streamed students demonstrations lest BHP laws legalized. In the hot sun, amid rain and police batons dispersed by force-feed "them". Only one hope this demonstration of pain "do not syahkan BHP law". Minda students in law legalized same meaning BHP to privatize education. Uncertainty is at least the spirit for students to come down to the street, and tried to fight state oversight.
Many education experts said, "BHP is the necessity to improve the quality of education in Indonesia", so this assumption is the basis for the state to legalize BHP laws, so is it true? Indeed, if "we" honest in the fact the law is a sign of how BHP countries increasingly defeated by capitalism, through the power of capital. Therefore, one custom is to get rid of the capitalist state, and minimize state intervention, so that all aspects of country life can be entered safely, without hindrance by the power of capital. This is really happening in education "we" today.
Rapids capital can not be prevented from pestering every side of life in Indonesia today. Many facets of life, and life values that shifted when berkecambahnya capital in human life, until the cycle of life is only directed at "utilities-oriented". Politics, economics, until the education was being absorbed by the power of capital. Grip force rate of capital in education is an irony for a nation that stood on the composition of social classes are diverse, such as Indonesia. In the circle of capital strength, style and purpose of the motion based on the desire of wealth. In this condition, the education will be weaker as the energy bertukarnya of empowerment education, education became fertile ground capitalism. Fraçois Jean Lyotard mengemukan in this context in The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, that is the desire of wealth, not the desire of knowledge, which encourages technological capacity needs and product realization. Almost certainly penetrated the capital of the world as anything, the logic is always adhered to dwell on "the minimum capital, with the maximum benefit". What happens, when the world of education is assumed to be equal to the conventional industry?
Flashback; history of education in Indonesia at the time of the new order are always and did not move from berlidannya interwoven with the power of education. Yasraf A. This mengistilahkan Piliang perkelidanan made with educational tools to search, seize, or retain power. Higher education becomes a tool of power. Now, after the reform of education, especially higher education, developing and seeking interlace perkelidanan more complex. Not only with the power, the power of capital becomes a strong mutual berkelidan in education.
In the current paradigm Revolution
Normative trends in education today has undergone a great shift. Education shifted from the empowerment, transformation of values into investansi room for human capital investment plus a systemic economic. No wonder tuition hikes are no longer able to be addressed by the state. At the other end, once the logic of the education law based on humanism, logic in the world is now more eksrem education and even tends to marginalize people; because, the logic of today's education co-opted by the logic of "demand and supply". No wonder there keengan community to continue to peguruan higher education-in addition to cost not affordable, apathy toward college culminated today because universities can no longer bear the appropriate generation with the nature of college itself.
In the control of capital strength, education will always be guided by the market. As a result, which can be born from the college labor is organic. They are constructed and formed on the basis of the will of the market. No more. Whereas nature of higher education world, in fact an arena of discourse, in which the scientific attitude, objectivity, critical attitude, freedom of thought, and free thought. Nature of this shift, scattering when higher education is controlled by the power of capital. In these conditions, universities are not more than a run berdasarakan manufacturing production logic.
Education "we" are in the middle phase of a powerful paradigmatic revolution. This Revolution moved from education to the capitalization of nature education. Normative foundation will instantly change. The purpose of education will dikarangkeng in logic "utilities". In this kullah, higher education could give birth only human beings to be uniform and industrial raw materials. Harkat slowly withdrawn, the meaning of life so barren because jail in culture "consumerism". Educational success is measured degan absorption trend by industry workers capitalistic. Higher education was doing jumps; from culture to culture intelektualism oriented economic oriented. This system creates a mechanical generation, obedient, loyal, cultured in accordance with market demand, values fall liberty, independence vote revoked systemically-absorbed by the magnitude of their market.
Explore this, higher education according to Hans Magnus Enzensberger in the Dreamers of the Absolute; is an industry that has the mind by the mind machines, which produce uniform thoughts, which creates a uniform behavior. Diseragamkan everything, from clothing, name, curriculum, methods, textbooks, and even behavior. That form is a great machine uniformity (uniform great mechine)-uniformity of a totality of society that does not make room for differences, uniqueness, and pluralism. Hans Magnus Enzensberger's thesis, was a foothold in reality. Even now, more and more educational nature away from the mandate of Act 1945, which essentially all people regardless of class should get a decent education. But when, the world of higher education through the validation of BHP means surrendering to a prison-style systemic enmeshment economy. This suggests how higher education to be part of a commercial and economic system, which makes education not more than a commodity to be traded. As a result, aspects of education is slowly no longer a "duty" of the state over its people. This obligation is slowly delivered to the power of capital, in this private course.
