Private School Private schools are schools that are not run by the government. They offer various types of schools and levels of education. Although the government does not directly run the private schools, the government should give more attention to private schools for some good reasons. Private schools provide parents with an alternative to the state sector, and a learning environment, which might better suit their children. In addition, whilst there are many bad state schools, there are also bad private schools, and some excellent state schools which compete with the best private schools. The existence of private education can actually be financially beneficial to state schools. The state funds the education system through taxation. Parents who do not send their children to state schools still pay the same taxes. Therefore, there is more money per child in the state sector. There is evidence that a large number of parents, who send their children to private schools, are both ‘À rst time buyers’ – i.e. neither parent attending a private school – and not from the privileged elite that the opposition would have us believe. Based on the above discussion, it is obvious that the government should give more attention to private schools because they also contribute much in the education world.

Pencak silat fever spreads all the way to UK Around 100 Londoners of different age groups, children and adults, male and female, eagerly participated in a martial arts workshop during the recent Pencak Silat Festival. Antara reported that the inaugural Pencak Silat Festival in the United Kingdom was held by the Indonesian Embassy in London, along with the Pencak Silat Federation of the UK (PSF UK). Five schools of pencak silat, namely Perguruan Gerak Ilham, Kuntao Matjan, Silek Harimau Minangkabau, Panglipur and Persaudaraan Setia Hati Teratai, were involved in the festival held at London’s Seymour Center. Workshop participants, therefore, learned from five different pencak silat schools. Before they were instructed in the workshop, the pencak silat athletes showcased their skills. Some performed in groups, moving in unison. Others demonstrated duels, whether with bare hands or sticks, machetes or fans. A highlight was the performance by Kurniati, a student pursuing a PhD in Birmingham. Representing the school Persaudaraan Setia Hati Teratai Pencak Silat, Kurniati gave a stunning and graceful performance, underlining her qualities as a national pencak silat athlete. “People are eager to get to know and study pencak silat, as seen in the high number of sign-ups [for the event]. Some knew nothing of martial artist, while others are fans of pencak silat, or fans of the athlete Cecep Rahman,” Kurniati told Antara in London. A PhD candidate at the Cultural Sport Psychology of the School of Sport, Exercise & Rehabilitation Sciences (SPORTEXR), University of Birmingham, Kurniati said people had become aware of pencak silat as an activity entailing aspects of sport, art, mental and spiritual education, rather than merely martial arts. Representing Indonesia, Kurniati herself has competed in several international championships, such as the ASEAN University Games in Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore and the Open International Championship. Indonesian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Rizal Sukma showed his appreciation of the PSF UK’s efforts to develop and promote pencak silat in the UK. As Indonesia’s cultural heritage, the martial art is a valuable asset to preserve and use to strengthen the ties between the nations, through people-to-people contacts. The Pencak Silat Festival was enlivened with the attendance of Cecep Arif Rahman, a martial artist who has appeared in world-class movies The Raid 2 and Star Wars: The Awakening Forces. Cecep performed with two other Indonesian martial artists, showcasing an engaging three-way battle. The audience expressed their admiration openly, especially since such performances are rarely seen in the UK. A man from the audience, Dave, said he felt lucky to see a live performance of Cecep, which he said was exactly the same as he had seen in The Raid 2. Meanwhile, PSF UK head Aidinal Al Rashid told Antara that the federation was the only national organization in the UK that was officially acknowledged by pencak silat world organization PERSILAT. Aidinal said that PSF UK was established by teachers from two London-based pencak silat schools, namely Silat Gerak Ilham Bugis-Makassar (GI) from Sulawesi and Silat Perisai Diri (PD) from Java. With the Pencak Silat Festival held in the UK and following Indonesia’s achievements in the sport at the Asian Games and the rising popularity of this martial art in general, we can be hopeful that pencak silat will make it as an Olympic discipline.
