DEVELOPING AN INTERNATIONAL ACCESS SCHOOL WITHOUT LEAVING LOCAL WISDOM By Drs. Soedjono, M.Si

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

Globalization, a new arrangement that cannot be avoided by people around the world. Space and time can almost be infiltrated by the technology sophistication. Global competition requires that everybody has strong competitiveness. Human resources that become fixed requirement must have comparative superiority. Global society that  no longer knows certain community becomes machines that interact and influence each others. Even, the global community that has dynamic characteristics, logic and competitive tends to leave humanism patterns, spiritualism, and it is removed from its local culture.

Global culture is dominated by high competition so that there is no social sensitivity. The global culture tends to give priority to consumerism that indulges and fertilizes consumptive culture, even individualism that give a great influence on the changing of social regulation. This condition demands the balance of perception pattern in favor of local wisdom, patriotism, and even the deepen understanding of spiritualism.

 

Sebuah Perjalanan Menggapai Asa

Akhir tahun pelajaran 2005/2006, merupakan awal kami ‘menahkodai’ kapal besar yang bernama SMA Negeri 3 Semarang menuju pantai harapan, yaitu menjadi sekolah bertaraf internasional.

Tahun-tahun pertama betapa berat cobaan yang kami alami, karena dalam kapal selalu membentuk ikatan yang kuat bila ada ‘angin besar’, ombak besar, dan badai besar harus kita lalui bersama. Badai itulah yang menjadi kita saling menyelami arti kebersamaan, angin besar menjadikan kita saling mengeratkan pegangan tangan, dan angin besar menjadikan kita tidak pantang menyerah.
