KETERBUKAAN INFORMASI MENGAWAL PENDIDIKAN INKLUSIF

Abstract

Public policies related to education are often regarded as a central issue to accelerate the improvement of Indonesia's competitiveness. In fact, indicators in the education sector have a major impact on improving the quality of life of the community. Although the state is generally considered to be the main education service provider (main education provider), the fact is that only a small number of countries in the world are able to carry out the Education for All mandate. Thus, non-government actors through civil society organizations (CSOs) are needed to fill the access gap. This article examines how information disclosure has opened the role of CSOs in distributing basic education, especially for marginalized ethnic minority groups in Indonesia. This article presents a case study of two bonafit CSOs in the field of education in Indonesia, namely Indonesia Mengajar (IM) and Sokola. Through the framework of the Education Exclusion and Inclusion (EEI) Framework by Sayed and Soudien (2003), this article results in information openness that can be utilized well by CSOs, which has led to a transformation in education with a more inclusive approach than the previous state's role.
