Abstract

Education nowadays has become a prominent thing as it involves most people to take part in this matter. In addition, it cannot be separated from human’s life. Both males and females need to be educated. Education plays an important role in the development of a country. If a country does not have proper education, it may be left behind by other countries which support education. There are many factors that affect the education system. Culture, technology, and economical matters give much impact to the education system of a country. The regulation made by the government affects how the education system works in a country. The education system in Indonesia still uses one-way communication. The teachers stand in front of the class and explain all the materials, while the students just sit down on their seats and listen to the teachers. One-way communication has negative effects on the students. They become unconfident to share their opinions or even ask a question. The government should improve this education to a better one. Two-way communication is considered as a better way in teaching methods. The development of technology contributes much impact on the education. It can be very useful for many people to get an education. Education is essential in human’s life. As time goes by, the system of education changes dynamically following the needs of human beings.
