Nowadays, Indonesia got a lot of disasters for example, tsunami in Mentawai, Wasior big flood, Merapi eruption etc. It occurred continuously in no longer time. There were so many victims because of this. Men, women, old people, teenagers, children and also babies in several days became the victims. It was so terrible. They lost their house, family, properties and their school.
Natural disaster is become something frightening to all people. It happens suddenly and without caution. Not only the citizen that worry about it, but so does the government. They must handle some disaster problems in the same time. Actually they did it not only when the disaster happen, but also after the disaster happened. For example they must handle the education program after the disaster.
Although the children lost their school, but it doesn’t mean that they lost their education. Because they still have rightful authority to get their education. To get education is not always in school, wearing uniform and shoes, and bring a bag. They can get knowledge wherever and whenever.
When the disaster occurred, the government can build an emergency school in the location. The government can make a corporation to run this program. An emergency school in the location of disaster has double function, that are for facilitating them to continue their study and also to build their spirit to life after the disaster happened. They must solve their trauma and leave it behind their past. But it wasn’t easy without expert help, people must rebuild their heart and soul. This rebuild process didn’t work just for once, it needed a lot of time to pass this trauma. It liked built a sand house in the beach. Once you build, a wave come and damage your work, needs a lot of time to make the sand house stand strongly.
And then, how about the education program after the disaster happened? I think the education programs in a school that broke because of the disaster will not run as well as the plan. I can say like that because the infrastructure of the school was broke. Some documents maybe had lost. If we can save them, why don’t we did it as well as we can? We can let the students to save anything that can be saved, clean the school from the debris, and we must make them believe that we still have a dream to reach our dreams.
But, if there’s no one that can be saved, we can build it from a simple thing. We still have our spirit to get success and we still have our earth to be our place to study. Both of them is two things that must we have first. About the facilities, we can ask for help to the government or to a social institute. Sometimes we not only depend on the government. We also must be able to active to get something we need. If the government hasn’t could help about our problems, we can ask for help to a social institute near our city. The social institute will help us; moreover our destination is not just for us ourselves, but it also for a lot of people, especially for the children.
First, maybe we can’t adaptation to this situation. But, always remember an old quote: “Where there is a will, there is a way”. We must be able to be patient and hard work to get success next. While the students have tried to be patient, now is the time to the government. The government has to take action for this serious problem. As we know education is a basic and important thing for a country development. And if there’s no serious action with it, I can’t imagine how the country will grow. The government is built to care about their populace. So, it is something natural if the populace shouts out to ask about their rightful authority.
To solve our education problems on post-disaster there must be corporation and communication between the government and Indonesian people to build our education better.
