JAKARTA - Candidate for Mayor of Makassar serial number 1 M Ramdhan 'Danny' Pomanto talks about the educational revolution program in Makassar City if elected in the Pilkada. Danny Pomanto said it was necessary to balance the quality improvement of students and teachers.

"For the Adama couple, we prioritize education problems because the main problem is to build superior human resources to build a much better Makassar. All educational revolution programs must be schools. The quality of students, curriculum, teachers, infrastructure, school management, 5 principles of the educational revolution, ”said Danny Pomanto in the Makassar Pilkada debate broadcast via the Makassar KPU Youtube account, Saturday, November 7.

Meanwhile, candidate number 3 for mayor of Makassar, Syamsu Rizal (Deng Ical) explained the mission of Makassar Maju. This mission, continued Deng Ical, is realized by prioritizing building the quality of human resources.

"Without taking care of the human being, we cannot expect much and to take care of humans to become superior people, education must be addressed. There should not be a jargon of 20 percent of the education budget, it must be pushed immediately, forget about the others, if necessary, ignore it first. The issue of education is about long-term investment, "said Deng Ical.

According to him, attention to education is not just allocating 20 percent of the Makassar City APBD. But it also involves other components such as the use of Corporate Social Responsibility and other components of society.

Meanwhile, the vice mayor candidate number 2 Abdul Rahman Bando shared his experience when he served as Acting Head of the Makassar City Education Office. According to him, there is an imbalance in education.

"Our 11,500 teachers in public, private schools do not have a budget to increase human resources. The 2015-2019 education sector budget continues to decline," he said.
