Delegation: The Republic of Indonesia
Agenda: Ensuring Quality Education & Increasing Accessibility To E-Learning For Children]
'“One child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai
Isn’t this quote un-applicable to this new generation that has completely changed from using primitive books and pens to using an I-pad, a kindle, a stylus, and Google to help? E-learning has become an essential part of a utopian world and not just a tag on a student’s school e-mail ID. But along with e-learning, quality education is a cornerstone among the Sustainable Development Goals and essential for a utopian world, without bias based on gender, social standing, economic standing, and literacy rate.
Indonesia’s perspective on this agenda has been on a high note, with the
Indonesian literacy rate being 95% and more and the government requesting
parents and guardians to register and enroll in schools. Education still lies as
a concern with the Indonesian government working to it by starting programs and
initiatives like the Program for The Finalization of The 9-Year Compulsory Education.
Indonesia has also been positive for the e-learning sector with 96% and more
Indonesians having a device with them.
The Indonesian government believes that being the strongest
member of the ASEAN brings a lot of responsibility, especially to be a role
model for the rest of the members of the ASEAN on this agenda by:
a) Working
hard on ensuring quality and being so successful that the Indonesian literacy
rate is alleged to be 96%.
b) Putting
up a budget in 2021 of $ 1.1 trillion and successfully being the fifth largest
user of gadgets.
c) Increasing
the number of students using online learning from 23 million to 63 million.
The Indonesian government recommends nations that are part of
UNESCO to:
a) Increase
the amount of Wi-Fi so that students will not be disturbed during learning
processes by internet cuts.
b) Make awareness
programs that make global citizens in marginalized sections of society aware of
the need for education in the modern world.
c) Set up UNESCO
or UNICEF educational initiatives that are totally free to help children who need
education but are on a low economic standing and whose parents cannot afford
the economical burden on the family for educating their child.
d) Provide
education to every individual without bias and promote programs that implement
an adequate education period to make a child ready and equipped for the real
world.
In conclusion, the Indonesian government believes that in some places, SDG 4 is solved, in some, they are working towards it. UNESCO needs to find ways to ensure SDG 4 by 2030 and finally implement them.
