While, education at tertiary education level comprise of educational programme at community colleges, polytechnics, public and private training institutes, public universities and private higher education institutes (IPTS). But, here I will be focus on those at the university education level only. Before we go beyond to the issue/problems and the aspect which related to the quality of education, what it’s mean by education?
To me, education is equipping us with the knowledge and skills that will be needed for our future and hoping our lives would be successful in every aspect of live. So, automatically quality of life will be increase if we have good education. But, nowadays most people are viewed simply that education is just about gaining good result and after graduation can get good job. Normally all known that education is a ‘general public services’ which, through its implied consequence, affects not only those who directly benefit by it, but also society as a whole (G.U. Papi, 1966). But somebody told me that today; education is known as ‘commercial service’ because every student tries to be more successful or better than others. We try to compare our CGPA result so that to get a good job without ignoring the knowledge and skill… Is it true??
