The presence of globalization is a big challenge for education.

The presence of globalization is a big challenge for education. Some of these challenges, according to Khaerudin Kurniawan (1999) are:

---

---

First, the challenge to increase the added value, that is how to improve the national work productivity as well as economic growth and equity, as an effort to maintain and improve the continuous development.

Second, the challenge of conducting comprehensive research into the era of reform and transformation of community structures, from traditional agrarian societies to modern society-industrial and information-communication, and how it implies for the improvement and development of the quality of human life.

Third, the challenge in the increasingly tight global competition, which is to improve the nation's competitiveness in producing quality creative works as a result of thinking, discovery and mastery of science, technology and art.

Fourth, the challenge to the emergence of new invasion and colonialism in the field of Science and Technology, which replaces the invasion and colonialism in the political and economic fields.

Schools as educational institutions are required to be able to print quality generation in accordance with some of the challenges of globalization above. Educational institutions should be able to prepare graduates who are ready to dive and compete with foreign workers who have entered the global market today. When this can be realized then the educated unemployment rate that happens today can be suppressed gradually.

Orientation of orientation and education system needs to be seriously disentangled. There are several aspects that become the focus of current educational garapan include:

1. Education should be directed at the process of formation of skills (skills) are high for learners. Therefore, in the learning process that is required balance of learning-based theory and practice.

2. Learning process should prioritize student based learning (student center oriented).
   With this kind of learning, students are expected to be independent as their supplies in the future.

3. Increasing the capacity and ability of educators should be the main priority. These efforts include opportunities provided and facilitate the educators to add and develop their scholarship through further study, training, workshops and others.

4. The process of education should also be directed at providing motivation for learners in reaching their dreams by prioritizing the process rather than instant results.

5. There needs to be awareness from all parties about the responsibility of education. Cooperation from parents, community, government and the world of work as stakeholders education is needed.
