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.

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.
