Text Ki Hajar Dewantara

     The development of good character should be the heart and soul of education, and should dominate the spirit of teaching. This was the philosophy of the “Father of Education” in Indonesia, Ki Hajar Dewantara. The reason, he said, was that teaching and character building are like two sides of a coin and cannot, and should not be separated.

    Education, by definition, means guiding student lives in a strong foundation of good character, so that they would be civilized humans of highest moral fibre, thus laying the foundation of a great nation without distinction of religion, ethnicity, customs, economic and social status.

      Ki Hajar Dewantara was born in the royal family of Yogyakarta on 2 May 1889. His given name was Raden Mas Suwardi Suryaningrat which he later changed to renounce his connections with the royal family. He transformed himself into an activist, columnist, politician and pioneer of education for Indonesians. He fought for rights of Indonesians during Dutch and Japanese colonial eras (www.tokoindonesia.com).

     He was born into an aristocratic family that granted him the privilege of free access to education of his choice. He got his primary education from ELS (Europeesche Lagere School), then he continued his education at Stovia (Java Medical School) but due to health reasons he couldn't finish it. He started writing for newspapers and eventually all his writings were focused on Indonesian patriotism, thus anti Dutch. He was involved in the early activities of Budi Utomo and the Indiesche Party, which were both important in the early development of the pergerakan, the “movement” that grew up with a nascent Indonesiannational political      consciousness  (www.indonotes.wordpress.com).

       He was exiled between 1913 and 1919 following the publical his articles: “Als ik eens Nederlander” (If I was a Dutchman) and “Eén voor allen en allen voor één” (One for all and all for one). He used his time in exile to learn more about education and obtained a Europeesche certificate (www.tokoindonesia.com).

       Following his return, he focused more on cultural and educational efforts paving way to develop educational concepts in Indonesia. He believed that education is very important and the most important means of freeing Indonesians from clutches of colonization. He played a leading role in establishing “National Onderwijs Institut Taman Siswa” in 1922. This institution was established to educate native Indonesians during colonial times. This institution was based on these principles: 1. Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha (the one in front sets example). 2. Ing Madya Mangun Karsa (the one in the middle builds the spirit and encouragement). 3. Tut Wuri Handayani (the one at the back gives support)(indonotes.wordpress.com).

       As Ki Hajar believed that character was not merely a theoretical concept, but a practical and living concept, he embodied his vision in his school, Taman Siswa. The central goals of Taman Siswa emphasized character building, including traits such as patriotism and love for the nation, and a sense of national identity. His vision was that Indonesians would be free from colonial powers, to fight for independence and have good character. He continued writing but his writings took a turn from politics to education. These writings later laid foundation of Indonesian education. Froebel, Montessori and Tagore influenced his educational principles and in Taman Siswa he drew some inspiration from Tagore's Shantiniketan (asrirahayudamai.wordpress.com).

       After independence, he was given the office of Minister of Education and Culture. For his efforts in pioneering education for the masses, he was officially declared Father of Indonesian Education and his birthday is celebrated as National Education Day. His portrait was on 20,000 rupiah note till 2002. He was officially nd th confirmed as a National Hero of Indonesia by the 2 President of Indonesia on 28 November 1959 (Tokohindonesia.com).

     Ki Hajar Dewantara passed away on 26th April 1952 at the age of 69 years. His wife donated all Ki Hajar's belongings to Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum, Yogyakarta. He was a great man who spent his whole life serving his people and country.

This is biography of Rohana Kuddus 

       Assalamualaikum...welcome back to my blog. It'me Lutfi and i will share information about the biography of Rohana kuddus, see u next♡♡

      Ruhana Kuddus, or Rohana Kudus (Old spelling: Roehana Koeddoes; 20 December 1884 – 17 August 1972) was the first female Indonesian journalist, founder of the Sunting Melayu newspaper, and an activist for women's emancipation. Born in a village in Agam, West Sumatra, she was taught at home by her father. After learning crafts before her marriage, she became interested in teaching such skills to women and providing for their overall education. She established a school in 1911, and in 1912 founded the newspaper, intended for women. She was its chief editor.

      She was born as Siti Roehana in village (nagari) of Koto Gadang, Agam, the hinterland of West Sumatra. Her father Mohammad Rasjad Maharaja Soetan was the chief public prosecutor. Roehana was a half-sister of Sutan Sjahrir and a cousin of Agus Salim. She was also an aunt (mak tuo) of Indonesia poet Chairil Anwar. Roehana was intelligent although she did not receive a formal education. She often studied with her father, who taught her in reading and language studies. When her father was assigned to Alahan Panjang, North Sumatra, she asked her neighbors to teach her reading, writing, and household skills such as knitting.

        In 1908, when she was 24 years old, Roehana married Abdoel Koeddoes, a notary public. Since that, she is known as Roehana Koeddoes. Abdoel Koeddoes was supportive of his wife's effort to educate women.

   On 11 February 1911, Roehana Koeddoes decided to found a school for women, specifically to teach them crafts and skills beyond their ordinary household duties. During this time, she faced opposition from numerous sources who were resistant to change and advancement of women. With the support of her husband, Koeddoes persisted and eventually persuaded people to her side.

       The school, named Sekolah Kerajinan Amai Setia,  became a center for artisans to work with the Dutch government on sales of their work in major cities and overseas. It was the only craft producer that met the international standards of purchase.

     Skilled in writing, Koeddoes did not stop with teaching women crafts. She believed in educating women as a whole. The following year, she send a letter to Soetan Maharadja, chief editor of Oetoesan Melajoe (EYD: Utusan Melayu), asked to started the woman-oriented newspaper.

   Her proposal was approved by Maharadja, and 10 July 1912, Soenting Melajoe (EYD: Sunting Melayu), a newspaper with women as its intended audience, launched. Koeddoes was chief editor, assisted by his daughter, Zoebaidah Ratna Djoewita.

       Roehana Koeddoes died in Jakarta on 17 August 1972, 27 years on the Indonesian Independence Day. She was buried in Karet Bivak Cemetery.

  Two years later, the regional govermernt of West Sumatra honored her as the first female journalist (Wartawati Pertama). She was also awarded as the Indonesian Perss Pioneer (Perintis Pers Indonesia) on 1987 and Star on Service, 1st Class (Bintang Jasa Utama) on 2007. Since 7 November 2019, the Indonesian government declared her as a National Hero of Indonesia through Precidential Decree no. 120/TK/2019.
