Jurusan Praktika di SMA

Abstract

This article will explain the reasons why the “jurusan praktika di SMA” is important program in education  system of Indonesia.   One of reasons for the failure of the students reaching their achievement may be the lack of acceptance of their parents or teachers to their interest and capability.  These are crucial elements for developing student’s intellectual, skill, and personality.   Indonesian education system, for example, actually has developed the education institutions named Professional School to meet these need, but some of them had been closed for some reasons.  I think, however, these should be opened for giving a chance to student whose special talent.  Or, the other way to solve this problem is to change the name of Professional School into Junior High School with some special program whereas the Junior High School can add a program titled “Praktika” beside “IPA and IPS”.
