Published December 31, 2011 | 
It was generally found that better-educated person of their income, which is better. This is possible because the educated are more productive in terms of education. An increase in productivity is due to his technical skills acquired in education. Therefore, one of the objectives for the general development of life skills. That’s exactly the feeling of competence curriculum, teaching and education skills to the broad base of life that developed in Indonesia in recent years. In the United States (1992) doctoral educated person on average earnings per year of 55 million dollars, 40 million dollar master, and scholar 33 million dollars. In the meantime, more graduates earn on average only 19 million dollars per year. In the same year, this structure also occurs in Indonesia. For example, on average, between rural and urban incomes of graduates per year is Rp 3,500,000, Rp 3,000,000 in the Academy, 1.9 million Rupiah middle and primary schools, only 1.1 million Rupiah.
Proponents of human capital theory argue that education will provide an investment in human resources, monetary or in kind. Non-monetary benefits of education is to provide better working conditions, job satisfaction, efficiency in consumption, the satisfaction of enjoying retirement and the benefits of living longer because of the diet and get more health. Monetary benefits are the economic benefits in the form of additional income a person have completed studies on the graduate level of the lower income.
Professor Toshiko Kinosita suggested that staff in Indonesia is still too weak to support the development of industry and the economy. The reason the government has been training as a priority. Not placed education as a top priority for the people of Indonesia, the usual attempt by the politicians and government officials, only the pursuit of money to enrich themselves and do not think too much.
Professor of Waseda University in Japan opinion is very interesting to study because the government of Indonesia started to look on education as a long-term investment, long neglected after training. One measure already approved by the Assembly to prioritize the educational budget of at least 20% of the state budget or the budget. This step is an early awareness of the importance of education as a long-term investment. At least three reasons for the primacy of education as a long-term investment, as I described in my last opportunity.

In connection with this type of training has the challenge of the situation, human resources, meeting the challenges of the trend, without preparing the values of the personality and culture of their people.
