Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb. Firstly, I would like to say thank you very much for my teacher and my friends who have given me opportunity to deliver this English speech. Ladies and Gentlemen; It is a great honor for me to stand here and give a brief speech entitled Formal Education in Indonesia Brothers and Sisters; Education system in our country is divided into two major parts, they are formal and nonformal. A formal education is divided into three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. While non-formal education is carried out for the learners who get difficulties to meet the requirements in formal education. An example of non-formal education is PLS (Pendidikan Luar Sekolah). Both formal and non-formal education aim at establishing the education process in our country. Ladies and Gentlemen; As I have stated previously, formal education involves three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. Before entering primary or elementary school, children in our country usually have attended kindergarten, or known as Taman Kanak-kanak. But this education is not compulsory for Indonesian citizens, as the aim of this is just to prepare them for primary school. Children ages 612 attend primary education at Elementary School or Sekolah Dasar. This level of education is compulsory for all Indonesian citizens. The next level, children ages 1315 continuing their secondary education at High-School, and this level also compulsory for all Indonesian citizens because the government compulsory education in nine years. The last level, tertiary education in while the children ages 16-18, they can continuing education at Senior-High school. But the government doesnt compulsory this level education. Just for people that able to continuing their school and have the money because it cost more expensive. I think enough for my speech and I hope it can give knowledge and benefit for our as students. Thank you very much. Wassalamualaikum wr.wb.
