| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Western intellectual hegemony in the educational domain in Indonesia has been very obvious, especially in the establishment of the controversial international pilot project schools and school with international standard in Indonesia. This provides clear evidence that the hegemonic power of the colonizers at work, as it has been allowed to seep in to the country`s education system. This seeks to show that the Indonesian government`s efforts to internationalize the national education system cannot be separated from what is often referred to as the "discourse of globalization", manifested (in this case) primary through the fetish of English language education. It examines the current educational practice in Indonesia, which is situated in this discourse of globalization in the light of a post-colonial perspective. It also seeks to unravel the Western intellectual determinism formulated in the policy regarding the goal of SBI, which has sparked protracted debates among scholars and educational practitioners. |
