The last level of education in our country is tertiary education. The students at SMA are prepared to advance to tertiary education or university, while students of SMK as a vocational school are prepared to be ready to work after finishing their school without going to university/college. SMA is different with SMK in their studies. In Indonesia, this school is basically divided into two kinds: SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas) and SMK (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan). After three years of schooling and graduation, students may move on to Senior High School. After graduating from elementary school, students attend Middle School or Junior High School (Sekolah Menengah Pertama) for three years from the age of 13-15.

Some schools offer an accelerated learning program, where students who perform well can finish elementary school in five years. and Australia, students must study for six years to complete this level. This level of education is compulsory for all Indonesian citizens. Children ages 712 attend primary education at Elementary School or Sekolah Dasar. But this education is not compulsory for Indonesian citizens, as the aim of this is just to prepare them for primary school. Before entering primary or elementary school, children in our country usually have attended kindergarten, or known as Taman Kanak-kanak. Ladies and Gentlemen As I have stated previously, formal education involves three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. Both formal and non-formal education aim at establishing the education process in our country. An example of non-formal education is PLS (Pendidikan Luar Sekolah). While non-formal education is carried out for the learners who get difficulties to meet the requirements in formal education. A formal education is divided into three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary education. 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 non-formal.
