Abstract

The Indonesian people are now in a period of uncertain
change due to the severity of the crisis facing them. 'The crisis
has touched the wheels of the eco~lomics, legal, and political
systems and is very likely to touch also other aspects such as the
socio- cultural and moral aspccts of living in a socicty, country
and nation. The society is changing from a dual systcni, in which
the political system (as a structure) and the social system (as the
superstructure) are separated fronl each other, towards a 11cw
system, the so-called ciivil society, whiich is actually still one step
before Ihe elhical society. Uurilig the present period or
structural change, the quality of the hunlan resources must be
prepared, since they are the main components in the cultural
change towards the intended civil society. If the proporlio~l of
educated citizens is still too small, it may be very difficult for the
civil society to come into reality and even niore so Tor the ethical
society. 'Thercfore, there necds to be rcorientatioli in the
direction and basic policy of the national education to support
the effort of the nation towards a civil society. The eduqtional
reorentation involves two aspects. Firstly, the characteristics or
the quality of the educated people suitable for the civils society
need to be clarified and, secondly, at the macro-level there are
real needs for a more democratic educational system, with
hctter access to educational opportunities, equality in quality,
efficiency, productivity, and employability.
