JAKARTA Memories of today, nine years ago, April 11, 2015, the Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud), Anies Baswedan wants the village to care about education such as the Math Village in Laladon, Bogor, West Java to mushroom in Indonesia. He considers the village to be the main example of creating quality education.
Previously, Anies Baswedan continued to encourage the presence of affordable quality education. The problem is solved. He even initiated breakthroughs such as the Indonesian Teaching Movement.
Anies Baswedan is not new to Indonesia's world of education. He was once trusted to serve as Chancellor of Paramadina University in 2007. At that time he received the title as the youngest Chancellor. Because, he is still 38 years old.
His work in the world of education cannot be underestimated. He once tried to initiate a breakthrough so that everyone could access education. This awareness made him initiate the presence of a full scholarship at Paramadina. Paramadina Fellowship, his name.
The scholarship does not only cover the issue of education costs, but also living expenses. This condition makes students focus on thinking about hard learning without thinking about the business of funds. Everything is because the late costs have been borne. Another breakthrough initiated by Anies is the Indonesian Teaching Movement.
The movement was made to empower the younger generation who in fact just graduated from college. They were recruited, trained, and sent to serve remote parts of Indonesia for one year. The presence of the program is nothing but to provide access to education to many people.
He believes that if all Indonesian youth unite, quality education can be present. In fact, there is no need to issue expensive pockets. Moreover, the movement is an answer to the affairs of the shortage of quality teachers in elementary schools, especially remote areas.
A series of achievements made Anies appointed by Jokowi as Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) on October 27, 2014. He began to look for accurate ideas to bring quality education that should not be expensive.
For equitable access to education, Anies admitted that the existence of schools must be easily accessible, both locationally and financially. Currently, he is looking for ways to provide quality quality education in every region.
"Schools are affordable, but the location is not affordable, yes it means nothing. If schools are affordable but expensive, it's the same. So, access to quality education must be a priority," said Kompas.com page, November 12, 2014.
Anies continues to look for the pattern of cheap quality education. Because now the responsibility is no longer limited to the Indonesian Learning Movement. He must be able to create quality education formulas throughout Indonesia.
Anies also got an idea of how quality education should not be expensive when inaugurating the Math Village in Laladon, Bogor, West Java on April 11, 2015. The village was successful because many people had just graduated from their hometowns to develop education.
Anies was attracted. He wants villages to care about education such as Matical Villages to mushroom in Indonesia. He considers that quality education answers do not have to be expensive.

There are several important lessons in this place. First, this village is proven authentically how education is carried out as a movement. We see, there are so many children who study it on the terraces of the house. Even though in this village the facilities are not made specifically for educational facilities."
"When a lesson becomes fun, it is no longer burdensome. This is an example of real education. Earlier I asked the teaching volunteers. Some of them are undergraduate graduates who actually can do other things. Then I asked how much you were paid. They (lawans) answered, sincerely sir. I salute and feel honored to come here," Anies said as quoted by Kompas.com page, April 11, 2015.
