INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN INDONESIA

We're now going to discuss Inclusive Education.
What on earth is that?
Let's check it out,
Inclusive Education means that all people, regardless of gender, tribe, color, religion, or ability, have an equal opportunity to pursue an education. Furthermore, Inclusive Education implies that education can take place in both formal and informal settings.
Then, why it is so essential?
People from all over the world come from a variety of backgrounds. For example, consider how many people in the world are disabled. According to WHO, 15% of the world's population suffers from disabilities. We can also see how many people in the world have a colored background. We already know that they are becoming a minority in this world.
We are all aware that in order to survive in this world, children and adults must improve their skills and abilities. To shape a person with a dream who is capable of influencing many people and sharing their ideas in order to drive global progress.
Another function of inclusive education for children is that they can feel understanding, love, and acceptance from their societies as human beings, allowing them to become more confident in their abilities. They are aware of their own worth as a person. They learn in a variety of ways, including cognitive, physical, emotional, and social.
What about in Indonesia? Is Indonesia already implemented this Inclusive Education?
As a report from UNESCO,
"Law No. 20/2003 on the National Education System recognizes that learners with proven talent and gifted learners have the right to receive special education, Education Regulation No. 70/2009 on Inclusive Education allows children and youth who have special intelligence potential and/or special talents to receive regular education."
According to the law, Indonesia has already implemented inclusive education.
However, is it already effective enough?
In my opinion, is insufficiently effective. Indonesia must begin all-inclusive education with the government, as well as the teachers. The teacher must be able to work with students who have special abilities and needs. Because sometimes people with special needs require a special treat, and sometimes they become the genius one of the most recent ones. Furthermore, their parents must devote their undivided attention and support to their children. However, there is still discrimination from other people for children with disabilities, and parents are sometimes afraid that their child will interact with people who have special needs.
I hope that the Indonesian government and society will fully implement inclusive education.
