In the Hereafter, KH. Ahmad Dahlan meets with friends, Ki Hajar Dewantara, peer
education. They involved discussion
about the
condition of
education in their countries first, Brazil.
"Assalamu''alaikum, Ki. How are you?, "Kyai Dahlan greet Ki Hajar. "Wa''alaikum, good, "answered Ki Hajar. "How is the condition of education in our country now, Ki," tanya Kyai Dahlan.
"Lho, we were able to see this from the nature of the Hereafter, Kyai. People in our country is successfully building a great institution, great building, there are schools everywhere, I even heard news of some new people who died, there started in the education is free, "Ki Hajar answered.
"Kan is a positive development, Ki?" Kyai Dahlan asked.
"Yes, but some of them embrace the paradigm that started is misfit. Education does not get more than the work, not understanding the world. Requires knowledge only for the money, not to seek the truth. IM culture riot. Students are taught the only problem, not understanding the issue. In the test, an important pass, not pass. Even more concern, the work tends to be a teacher, not a call awareness. The
willing not teach straight proportionate to the salaries and allowances. Moreover, the state-owned schools, teachers looked for because it can mean a pension when old. To get up to much sharper valid, "Ki Hajar answered. "What about the development of the private schools that Kyai Dahlan path?"
"Not much different Ki. That makes me worried is they feel low self before the state-owned schools. That is not it historic. My private school established long before Indonesian independence and have a school. But private schools now do not have the courage to formulate their own education system. Ki and again, Islam and education Kemuhammadiyahan not considered important, the students become morally disordered, " it Kyai Dahlan.
Suddenly there are people, apparently he died new. He looks sad. Kyai Dahlan and Ki Hajar greet him. "What on earth relative, you look sad?". He said: "During the life, I am a teacher. I died because of the mass as judged schoolgirl rape my own. "
There are more that come, this time a teenager. He also looks sad. Kyai Dahlan and Ki Hajar also greet his. "What happen?". Young people that said, "I died because of suicide. Stress because I do not pass the national exam. In fact I have prepared answers and buy from brokers."
Then there are more that come, a young man. He looks wistful. Kyai Dahlan and Ki Hajar said. "There is not the spirit of what?". "I student who died because mass melee," answered.
Hear their answers, Kyai Dahlan and Ki Hajar surprised. Then they negotiate, and agree to return to the world, improving the condition of education in their countries. They then ask God to be given so that more lives. They agree to align their education in Indonesia, even the world. But have not had time to ask on, the angels stop them.
To Kyai Dahlan and Ki Hajar, the angel said: "Kyai Dahlan, Ki Hajar and I respect that. Sorry, you can not live together anymore. To realize that desire, you can transform your thoughts and desires only to the living. Allah, there is still that you can feel the spirit of truth, both of you, "said the angel.
By the tears are falling down, they go. And now they can only hope.
