School Operational Assistance

BOS - Knowledge Improvement through Transparency and Accountability
The BOS (School Operational Assistance) program has been disbursing block grants to schools across the country on a per student basis since 2005. BOS is part of the Government’s effort to provide quality education to students of all income
levels.

The World Bank is supporting the BOS program through BOS(School Operational Assistance – Knowledge Improvement for Transparency and Accountability), a project which aims to improve access to quality education for all children aged 7 to 15 by working to strengthen school committees, increase community participation, improve fiduciary arrangements for greater transparency and accountability of the BOS program to consequently better utilize current BOS’ fund.

The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is providing an additional US$ 20 million (approximately 200 billion Rupiah) support that aims to help the Ministry of National Education to maximize the effectiveness of the BOS Program. It will be used to strengthen a number of activities: monitoring, evaluations and complaint handling; social marketing and information campaign; as well as strengthening existing BOS teams at school level, and the work of parents and school committees.

Key Issues


Key Issues

Although Indonesia has recovered well from the economic crisis of the late 90’s, the country continues to under-perform neighboring countries in terms of access to quality education services. The focus of efforts now is on the quality of institutions and public expenditures. Key challenges include:

  • Junior secondary enrollment. Indonesia has almost universal primary enrollment but at the junior secondary level improvements are slower. Only 55 percent of children from low-income families are enrolled in junior secondary schools.
  • Student learning achievement. Indonesia continues to rank low in international standardized tests of student performance, even after taking socio-economic conditions into account. In 2003, Indonesia ranked 33 out of 45 countries in the Third International Mathematics Science Study (TIMSS). In the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which looks at how well 15-year-old students are prepared for life, Indonesia ranked around 50 out of 57 countries in science, reading and math.
  • Allocation of spending. Despite recent increases in overall spending education, Indonesia is still under-investing in secondary education, particularly junior secondary education. At the same time, operational budgets have been squeezed due to substantial increases in salary expenditures.

Education in Indonesia


The Indonesian school system is immense and diverse. With over 50 million students and 2.6 million teachers in more than 250,000 schools, it is the third largest education system in the Asia region and the fourth largest in the world (behind only China, India and the United States). Two ministries are responsible for managing the education system, with 84 percent of schools under the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) and the remaining 16 percent under the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA). Private schools play an important role. While only 7 percent of primary schools are private, the shares increase to 56 percent in junior secondary and 67 percent in senior secondary.

Primary school net enrollment rates are below 60% in poor districts compared to more well-off districts that have universal enrollment. Net enrollment rates for secondary education have experienced a steady climb (currently 66% in Junior Secondary and 45% in Senior Secondary) but are still low compared to other countries in the region. Indonesia is also trailing behind its neighbors in Early Childhood Education and Higher Education, with gross enrollment rates of 21% and 11.5% respectively.

Education is central to the Indonesian Government’s development agenda. Education spending has increased significantly in the years since the economic crisis. In real terms, education spending doubled between 2000 and 2006. In 2007, spending on education was more than for any other sector, reaching an equivalent US$14 billion equivalent, or more than 16 percent of total government expenditure. As a share of GDP (3.4 percent) this is comparable to other similar countries.

The Law on National Education (No.20/2003) and the Constitution Amendment III emphasize that all Indonesian citizens have the right to education; that the Government has an obligation to finance basic education without charging fees; and that the Government is mandated to allocate 20% of its expenditure on education. The Teacher Law (No. 14/2005) introduced important changes to the employment conditions and requirements for the certification of teachers, aiming at improving education quality. The Ministry of Education’s strategic plan for 2005-2009 has three main pillars:

1. Increased access to education;
2. Improved education quality; and
3. Better governance of the education sector.

In 2005 the Government launched a massive program called BOS (, or School Operations Fund), as a way of injecting funds directly into schools in order to keep children in school and give schools some flexibility in managing their own funds. Supporting this and the decentralization effort in general, the Government has moved to anchor the principles of School-Based Management (SBM) in the national education system and also to provide a framework of National Standards for Education.

The education team at the World Bank focuses on supporting the Ministry of National Education’s Strategic Plan (RENSTRA)
Starting with the 2005-2009 RENSTRA, the Bank has developed a broad portfolio of support to the key programs identified by the Ministry as needing additional support. The Thematic Education Dialogue led by Bappenas (a forum for Government and development partners to discuss sector issues at a policy level) provides a steer to the Bank and development partners on areas of focus for future support. It is currently leading an Education Sector Assessment which will provide the analytical base for strategic decisions on directions for the 2010-2014 RENSTRA, which development partners will use as a frame for future support.

The World Bank’s program will effectively bridge the 2005-9 and 2010 RENSTRA programs with its ongoing and pipeline portfolio of investment loans, Trust Funds, and analytical work on behalf of the Ministry, providing comprehensive support to the work of the Directorates General in the areas of teacher quality, basic education, higher education, and early childhood development.

The Education Cluster project portfolio comprises projects in Early Childhood, Basic, Higher, and Non-Formal Education. In addition, a youth training project and a sector wide initiative is currently in the pipeline. More than US$ 830 million is committed to the Government of Indonesia for Education by the IDA and IBRD. Total project costs of active and pipeline projects exceed US$ 1.5 billion. Furthermore, there are large Trust Funds that bolster the lending program.

Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5

Album: It Won't Be Soon Before Long
Title: Makes Me Wonder

[Verse]
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye


[Verse]
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

[Breakdown]
I've been here before
One day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause..

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you and I...
and so this is goodbye

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3)
(Oh no)

Secrets of Online Business Success

Here's what you should know if you are moving your brick-and-mortar to the Web or building a Web-only business - by Jeffrey Gangemi.

Part I : Taking Your Brick-and-Mortar Online
American Pearl had been a successful jewelry store in New York City;s diamond district for almost 50 years when Eddie Bakhash took over the company from his father, Charlie, in 1997. One of Eddie's Bakhash took over the company online. Since then, he says, sales have grown yearly at a rate of 20%. Last year they surged to almost $20 million-with 20% in person and 80% Online. Bakhash attributes some of his company's success to having a well-known and respected store, and good word of mouth. But, he says, the key was constructing a site that builds trush with the costumer, while educating them about the product or service offered."We tell the truth, showcase the product, and recreate the world that the product comes from though a variety of rich media," say Bakhash.


Retailers like Bakash are aware that doing business online boosts sales. A 2006 Forrester Research study of 174 retailers found that online retail sales rose last year by 25%, to $176.4 billion, and are expected to rise 20% in 2006, to 211.4 billion. By 2010, sales should reach $329 billion.


HELPFUL SERVICE
If you are conteplating taking your brick-and-and-mortar online, don't think you have to set up the site yourself. Providers such as Yahoo!Stores (Yahoo), FreeMerchant, or LiteCommerce can create an online storefront that is easy and affodable ( See BusinessWeek.com, 9/05/6, "An Online Business for $3,000").
"Small business inherently have built their business themselves. A lot of people look at doing everything themselves-the backend servers, all the infrastructure, learning HTML Whether selling products or not, you don't have to do taht anymore," says Jimmy Duvall, director of e-commerce product for Yahoo! Small Business.
Once the site is up, don't start conducting business until it's been tested and deemed ready.Make sure all the site's features are working, since customers today expect the same good service and quality online that theyfind in regular shops.
And just because the site is up, don't think your work is done. You have to update continuosly (See BusinessWeek.com. 6/8/2006 "Treating Your Web Site One Of Your Best Employees").
If you have outdated information, "you could be losing sales and causing customer dissatisfaction," says Harry Hollines, vice-president for channels and business development at Englewood(Colo) direct marketing consultant Verio, which also pffers a service to help small businesses update their sites.
When your site is running on all cynlinders, then it's time to think abaout trafic. Develop a plan for generating buzz online (see businessweek.com, 4/17/06 "Building Good Wub Buzz") and search engine optimization (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/6/2006, "How SEO Upped the Revenues").

ONLINE STREET CRED.
Many small businesses-almost half of those surveyed by Forrester-are also using cross-increase sales,don't overwhelm your loyal customers.
"Its important to be an active online marketer, while making sure not overload people with offers after they've been nice enough to patronize your store in the first place, "says Kim Gordon,president of the National Marketing Federation, an outfit based in South Florida that countsels small business owners on marketing (see BusinessWeek.com,6/21/2006, "building a WebPresence on the Cheap")
Don't take for granted that potential customers will believe every offer of a discount or sale.People can sense a scam, even if it's virtual. That's why credibility is just as hard to come by in cyberspace as in the real world, and there are multiple ways to establish it.
Having a high-quality site goes a long way. But for e-commerce, having an established and reputable payment system like PayPal or WorldPay can turn a nonbeliever into a customer.
If you've been running a brick-and-mortar businness for a long time, it might seem unnecessary to have ti prove your credibility all over again. But that's the name of the game in the online world, once you've found a way to get people to visit your site in the first place.Those who succeed find that a new world of customers awaits them.

Part II: What Not to do When Building a Web-Only Business
Kieden, a San Francisco software startup that helps companies track the success of their Google (GOOG) keyword advertising, launched in January and wan snapped up by Salesforce.com(CRM) just eight months later (see BusinessWeek.com, 8/22/206, "Salesforce Dives into the mash pit"). Salesforce hopes Kieden's application will help integrate its core customer-management program with Google's AdWord service, significantly improving advertisers' ability to track clik conversion.
Kieden co-founder Kraig Swensrud says his company's launch was successful both because of what the company didn't do and what it did. Most importantly, he says, it resisted the urge to take on an entire industry.
"Ours was originally a grand vision, to help all companies understand return on investment from online advertising programs," says Swensrud.To develop such a broad application, Swensrud reckons, would have taken several years. So the company narrowed its target customer to users of both Salesforce.com and Google.
For innovative companies like Kieden, doing business online offers no shortage of opportunities. But when starting one, there are plenty of missteps to avoid. Be sure to choose a differentiated product or service and master it before looking to expand. "If you're the small guy, you're not going to come in and get noticed, unless you have something different," says Melissa Payner, CEO of BlueFly (BFLY), an online-only designer apparel retailer with about 80 employees and $60 million in revenue last year.

ALL ABOUT AGILITY.
For online video store Netflix (NFLX), the key was not trying to perfect its service before taking it online, says Neil Hunt, chief product officer. When it launched in 1999, Netflix' speed to market and subsequent agility was mission critical in its unlikely bid to compete with Blockbuster (BBI) (see BusinessWeek.com, 5/25/2006, (see “Netflix”).
Although acting speedily is dangerous for businesses looking to transfer from bricks and mortar to online, it can be the key to success for Web-only outfits. Getting the product out there not only puts pressure on the competition but also provides an earlier opportunity to get customer feedback.
"Don't believe that you understand the whole business model from the beginning. We built stuff quick and dirty [before launching in 1999], because we didn't want to spend all this time and money working on the wrong thing," says Hunt.
The experience helped Netflix find what its users wanted and deliver it with gusto. Hunt says his company's willingness to adapt is the major reason it now boasts over 5 million subscribers, a number he says continues to double every 18 months.

ENCOURAGING IMITATION.
Companies offering great services that customers begin buzzing about can't neglect the need for scalability. Get the servers in place and the Web technology up to speed immediately, and make sure it's set for multiple years of rapid growth, says Hunt.
Also, don't think that one or two players in the market means there's no room for a new one. "In the past, the first brand out the door in old businesses tended to do well. But with the Internet, the second mouse gets the cheese—look at Yahoo, eBay (EBAY), and Monster (MNST). It's encouraging for small online startups to look at what people are doing and do it better," says Marcel Legrand, senior vice-president for strategy and development at Monster.
Photo sharing and printing service Snapfish was the 127th to market. Today, Snapfish is the largest photo sharing site in the world, with 30 million users. That's up from 14 million in early 2005, when it was acquired by Hewlett Packard (HPQ).
Seven years after launching, general manager Ben Nelson says Snapfish is still working to serve its primary demographic, a hypothetical customer named Emily. Emily, who Nelson says makes up about 80% of the market, is a woman who takes a lot of photos and looks for value, convenience, and easy-to-use service.
"If we constantly work to serve the biggest market segment, we're probably in pretty good shape with the rest," says Nelson. The formula worked for Snapfish. Keep these strategies in mind to help make your Web-only business flourish, too.
