The Strategies in Improving The Quality of Education in Schools and Universities

This paper examines strategies for improving the quality of education seen from Hinduism. The quality of education in Indonesia today is allegedly still low. Low education quality is caused by various factors, such as: the low quality of teachers, the education system is still poor, welfare of teachers is very low, less student interest in learning and so forth. To answer all the problems, some of the national strategy is needed which is expected gradually able to improve the quality of education. Hindu Religious Education, particularly ancient educational system has its own strategies as set forth in pasraman system. In the pasraman, a teacher is fully attented to the development of the students so that improvement can be measured properly. This system is very effective in transforming the comprehensive values of education to students. Of course this might be a contribution to the education of today who tend to emphasize the cognitive aspects of education.
