The first is a historical account of the evolution of education policy and its implementation in Indonesia during the New Order and post-New Order periods and the way in which this has been shaped by the nature of the country’s reigning political settlement. [...] In accordance with these intellectual and historical roots, the principal concern of the nationalist agenda has been to ensure that Indonesian educational institutions produce good Indonesian citizens, that is, ones committed to Indonesian national identity, the use of the national language, and the development of a national culture, and who support the legitimacy of the the country’s model of eco. [...] The rise of the Indonesian nationalist movement in the first decades of the twentieth century triggered the emergence of a third component of the country’s educational system in the form of independent schools. [...] As Kelabora (1983: 43) has observed: The hoisting of the national flag, Red and White; the singing of the national anthem, "Indonesia Raya", and other national songs; the use of the national language, Bahasa Indonesia, as the medium of instruction; respect for the national heroes throughout the ages; and participation in the National Days were prescribed to schools and implemented as early as Sept. [...] Finally, it entailed the establishment of the Constitutional Court which proved to be both relatively accessible to NGOs and ordinary citizens and sympathetic to progressive causes, reflecting the liberal outlook of its judges and the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the 1945 Constitution as part of the process of Constitutional reform that occurred between 1999 and 2002 (Mietzner 2010).
