Do you notice that more years gone by and more expensive the cost for education is? I guess we all know about it. This is just a common system that always happens year by year in most of schools and colleges in the world. But have you noticed much closer and much deeper whether the quality of the education in those schools and colleges are in balance with the money they receive? Do these education places produce qualified students to be ready for the advance technology? Or are the students to be ready for riots? Do these places just become a temporary sanctuary while the parents are out for work or the temporary shelter for the students until the bell to go home rings? Are these education centers actually oriented in quality, or money?

Ever since local autonomy in Indonesia was applied in January 1 2001, all local government offices and departments which used to be centralized in Jakarta have got platinum chance; they got freedom whatever they want to do. These places have then used their authority and power to play around the local area, to push residents in many ways, to cover their mistakes with some new policies or many uncontrollable things. And these education centers also don’t want to lose their chances.

Being cut from educational department headquarters in Jakarta, they are looking for extra subventions from the customers in their places, and that is their student! Students apparently know nothing but just to give any cents the schools want. And when the students, and their parents, cannot support the school anymore, penalty comes up as a new policy with various unbelievable reasons; the student will get bad scores, will never get any good chances to progress and finally will be kicked out from the school.

Once, a wise man said that an education in the art is the absolutely best education one can gain because it exposes us to the most general field of studies. Throughout the time, we will know little about things. If we choose a more specialized field, we will then step by step learn more and more about less and less. Honestly, I would prefer knowing a little about things to everything about a thing. Are you with me?

Companies and industries need art people who have good education in Art. Using their artistic sense to create advertisements, labels, stickers, work schedules and other companies’ standard necessities isn’t an easy thing to do. These things require plenty of thoughts and designs. Every detail has been considered to make the effects on the optimality. Have you ever got interested in a product simply because of the packaging? This is the work of art.

Almost everybody has ever been in art class during grade school or high school. Even those ones who are not artists can get benefit from an Art Education. They will then come to appreciate the rich history and significance of Art. Art education is not confined to undergrad other studies. It also expands to tutorials, vocational classes, art classes and other learning certain methods. Many schools emerge and teach the history, appreciation and principles of Art. These schools descend the tradition to the next generation the significance of art.

It sometimes flashes in our mind that we will be able to wing it through a career without any formal training. That is possible, but not always. Companies and industries are on the lookout for those with professional education. Even with an education from a post-secondary institution, in this section, we will never stop learning and keeping up with technology.

An Art Education is apparently essential to artists and laymen alike. It might not always be the path everyone follows, but it is the path that abundantly rewards those who take it. Read other post on ed-leadership.
