Indonesian about English (Part 2)

“UNBELIEVABLE...! THIS IS CRAZY…!”

Puji came out from his room.
“Ada Apa?” He asked.
“Ga ada apa-apa kok..” I said.

I didn’t tell him because I know he would not understand. He is a good friend of mine, but he doesn’t have interest in English at all. Puji went back to his room and I continued reading the emails from my small team.

The first email was coming from the team in Jogja.
They have completed the research and they got fact which was shocking and led me to scream those words above…!

They conducted research in 5 Universities in Jogja, 5 Senior High Schools, and English Teachers both in Junior High School and Senior High School.

For Universities, they held the research for 100 students who have graduated and another 100 students are still studying. The same numbers also applied for Senior High School. But for English Teacher, the team can only get 50 participants.

The team conducted a deep interview with participants and asked them to make a short essay in English.

These are the Facts:

1. 91.5% of those graduated students CAN NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL.
2. 98% of those Senior High School students CAN NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL.
3. 81% of those English Teachers CAN NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL.

Can you see that??
The city which is called as "Kota Pendidikan"??
Oh… My God!!!

I still can not make conclusion, because I have not received the report from other cities.
But I have a figure now. I hope I will find the answer for my Big Question:

“Why can’t Indonesian speak English after that long study and that much money spent?”

I believe, next posting will be more challenging!!!
I can't hardly wait...
