• Road repair in areas outside Makassar  + (Road improvements in areas outside Makassa … Road improvements in areas outside Makassar are essential to improve accessibility and the economy. Good roads can support the transportation of goods and people, and reduce travel time. In addition, road infrastructure improvements also contribute to the safety of road users. It is expected that the government pays attention to the quality of work and maintenance so that this investment provides long-term benefits for the community.ides long-term benefits for the community.)
• Road Safety Education  + (Road safety is a shared responsibility, in … Road safety is a shared responsibility, involving not only the drivers, the government, but also society as a whole. However, recently we have often seen many children who already know how to ride a motorcycle, but unfortunately, they lack understanding of traffic rules and road ethics. They know how to operate the motorcycle, but frequently ignore traffic signs, fail to wear helmets, or even ride recklessly on the roads. This behavior not only endangers themselves but also threatens the safety of others around them.</br>This phenomenon undoubtedly reflects the lack of traffic education that should have been taught from an early age. Parents who allow or even teach their children to ride motorcycles without providing a proper understanding of traffic rules are a primary contributing factor. However, as a caring community, we cannot simply blame the parents. Instead, we need to find effective and sustainable solutions to prevent road accidents involving children.</br>One solution that local governments can implement is launching a Road Safety Education Program for children and other groups. This education can start with the basics, such as recognizing traffic signs, understanding road restrictions, and the importance of following the rules. Why focus on children? Because they have a strong ability to absorb information, they learn faster, and they tend to retain the material better than adults. This program should not be limited to children who already know how to ride but should include all children. That way, by the time they grow up and start driving, they will already have a solid foundation of road safety and traffic rules.</br>Additionally, this education program can involve hands-on demonstrations on how to ride safely. By showing children practical examples—such as how to wear a helmet properly, the importance of obeying traffic signs, and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles—they will better understand the risks of irresponsible riding. This initiative is expected to reduce the number of accidents involving young riders.</br>However, children are not the only group that should be the focus of this program. Traffic education should also target university students and mothers. While most university students generally understand traffic rules, there may still be some who lack full awareness or don’t prioritize road safety. This program can help ensure that our young generation, who will eventually become the backbone of this nation, fully understands the importance of road safety.</br>Equally important is the education directed at mothers. It is not uncommon to see women, particularly mothers, who are unaware of traffic regulations, such as using the wrong turn signal or making a turn without checking for surrounding vehicles. This often happens not out of negligence, but due to a lack of knowledge and awareness about the importance of road safety. By providing proper understanding to mothers, we indirectly educate their children, as mothers are the role models in the family. When a mother fully understands how to drive safely, she will pass these good habits on to her children.</br>In addition to formal schooling, the Road Safety Education Program can be carried out in collaboration between local governments, the police, and community organizations. This program can become part of the school curriculum, where children are introduced to road safety materials from an early age. At the university level, short training sessions or seminars on safe driving can also be promoted. Meanwhile, for the general public, especially mothers, awareness campaigns can be conducted at the community level or through activities at public service centers.</br>With a well-structured Road Safety Education Program involving various societal elements, we can work together to build a more disciplined and safe traffic culture. Not only will this program reduce accident rates, but it will also raise awareness and foster greater responsibility among the public regarding road safety. Ultimately, creating safer roads is our collective duty, and with proper knowledge, we can prevent accidents before they happen. can prevent accidents before they happen.)
• Infrastructure improvements are really that important??  + (Seeing the progress of several other Asian … Seeing the progress of several other Asian countries, such as Singapore and other developed countries, has become a big problem for the next leaders. The unequal quality of education is a big factor hindering Indonesia's golden generation. Good education cannot be separated from the role of a leader in a region or region. regionally, this must be the center of attention of a leader, which I as a student feel sorry for, when I found out the fact that many children dropped out of school because of economic obstacles, this is in line with the issue of insufficient employment opportunities in Indonesia. Yes, employment opportunities are limited. The government should be paying attention, they only focus on infrastructure development, but in fact there are still many roads that are not repaired. So is that their focus on infrastructure??? The focus for regional heads should be more on the quality of education, health and job opportunities, as well as the availability of electricity and clean water, after that, it can be reduced by the development of good infrastructure... Because yesterday it was on the news radar, the people in Cambaya are lacking clean water, where is the role of the government?? Hopefully this suggestion can be included and become a focus for the next government or regional heads My hope for the future for regional heads is that I believe that you are great and my hope is that the community will not make the wrong choice because they have chosen you.wrong choice because they have chosen you.)
• Gender Equality and Social Inclusion: Key to Youth Development for Regional Leaders  + (Social inclusion and gender equality are i … Social inclusion and gender equality are important elements that local leaders should prioritize in sustainable development. Gender discrimination and inequality continue to be major obstacles that hinder the equitable development of youth potential in various sectors. This problem is rooted in social structures that often marginalize certain groups, including women and marginalized groups, thus reinforcing the cycle of injustice and hindering their contribution to regional development.</br>Regional heads need to encourage education that instills the values of gender equality and social inclusion. This is important to equip youth to understand the importance of respecting differences and challenging harmful stigmas. Through equality campaigns, they can raise public awareness about the role of women and the importance of empowering marginalized groups.</br>In addition, regional heads can initiate and support programs that focus on the rights of women and marginalized groups. These programs not only fight for equality, but also open greater access for all youth to actively participate in regional development. By prioritizing gender equality and social inclusion, regional heads help build the foundation of a resilient and competitive society, where all individuals have equal opportunities to develop and contribute without discrimination.</br>Inklusi sosial dan kesetaraan gender adalah elemen penting yang harus diprioritaskan oleh kepala daerah dalam pembangunan yang berkelanjutan. Diskriminasi dan ketidaksetaraan gender terus menjadi hambatan utama yang menghalangi pengembangan potensi pemuda secara merata di berbagai sektor.

• Local Leaders and a New Hope for a Safer Makassar  + (Social issues in large cities, such as Mak … Social issues in large cities, such as Makassar, have increasingly drawn public attention. Anarchic incidents like muggings, illegal fees (pungli), and aggressive beggars have made many residents feel uncomfortable carrying out their daily activities. These conditions not only create insecurity but also disrupt the order and comfort of the environment.</br>One of the frequent issues in Makassar is the growing number of aggressive beggars, especially in tourist areas like Losari Beach. Beggars operating in public places often force visitors to give money, spoiling the atmosphere that should be pleasant. This phenomenon disturbs both tourists and local residents who want to enjoy their leisure time. To address this, local leaders need to take serious measures. One solution is to impose strict regulations regarding beggars in tourist spots. Surveillance must be enhanced, and facilities should be provided to rehabilitate beggars so they can receive social assistance and training to become self-reliant.</br>In addition to beggars, the practice of pungli is also a major issue that troubles the public. Pungli often occurs in various forms, such as illegal parking fees or entry tickets to free events being charged by irresponsible individuals. This practice harms the community and tarnishes the image of local government. To resolve this, future leaders must decisively combat pungli by forming special task forces to monitor such activities on the ground. The public also needs to be educated about their rights so that they are less likely to become victims of pungli.</br>Moreover, street crimes like muggings are among the most unsettling issues in Makassar. These crimes not only cause material loss but also trauma for the victims. To address this, local leaders should increase city security by enhancing police patrols, especially in crime-prone areas. However, the approach should not be limited to law enforcement. The government must also think of long-term solutions by providing education and training to communities that are vulnerable to engaging in criminal activities. Criminals often come from backgrounds with limited access to education or decent jobs, so improving the welfare of the community can be a solution to prevent future crimes.</br>Economic factors are often the main reason why people choose anarchic paths, whether by becoming beggars, engaging in pungli, or getting involved in crime. Therefore, local leaders should focus on empowering the economy of the community. Skill training programs and job creation should be expanded so that people have better alternatives for meeting their needs.</br>With the right policies, local governments can create a safer and more comfortable environment for their residents. Strict law enforcement, combined with sustainable economic empowerment efforts, will help reduce anarchic actions and improve the well-being of the community.d improve the well-being of the community.)
• Enhancing Public Transportation: Reducing Traffic and Boosting Quality of Life in Maros-Makassar  + (The Maros and Makassar regions hold a stra … The Maros and Makassar regions hold a strategic role in South Sulawesi, both in terms of tourism and education. With increasing mobility among residents and tourists, transportation issues have become highly crucial. One of the main problems faced is the worsening traffic congestion, especially on the connecting route between Maros and Makassar. Therefore, improving an integrated transportation system will not only reduce congestion but also have positive effects on the environment and enhance the quality of life for the community.</br>The traffic congestion on the Maros-Makassar route often hinders the mobility of residents and tourists. One solution that can be implemented is the development of effective public transportation, such as adding bus stops along the Maros-Makassar route. This will make it easier for Maros residents to access affordable and efficient public transportation, thus reducing reliance on private vehicles.</br>Better public transportation will also provide convenience for students from Maros who study at various campuses in Makassar. Currently, many Maros students are forced to rent accommodation in Makassar due to limited and time-consuming transportation access. With better public transport, students can commute without having to pay additional costs for accommodation. This will also broaden access, not only for those studying at major universities like Hasanuddin University (Unhas) or Alauddin State Islamic University (UIN), but also at other higher education institutions in the region.</br>In addition to reducing congestion, the development of efficient public transportation also directly contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Private vehicles are one of the main sources of carbon emissions in urban areas. With more residents switching to buses or other forms of public transport, air pollution in both Makassar and Maros can be minimized. This is also a concrete step toward mitigating the greenhouse effect, which is one of the main causes of global climate change.</br>Local governments must prioritize the construction of bus stops along strategic routes between Maros and Makassar. This will not only reduce the number of private vehicles on the road but also decrease fossil fuel consumption, which contributes to air pollution. The positive impact will be felt not only by local residents but also by tourists visiting key attractions in Maros, such as Bantimurung National Park and Rammang-Rammang.</br>With better access to public transportation, commuters traveling between Maros and Makassar will experience significant benefits. They will no longer have to deal with the stress of daily traffic congestion. This will also help them stay refreshed and focused on their daily activities, including studying or working.</br>Students and workers who no longer need to rent accommodations in the city will find it easier to manage their time and expenses, allowing them to focus more on education or work without being burdened by transportation issues. The time spent commuting will be more productive, and the mental and physical health of residents will improve as they no longer have to endure the strain of prolonged traffic congestion.he strain of prolonged traffic congestion.)
• “Menjawab krisis lapangan pekerjaan sebagai dilema dan paradoks pemuda Gen-Z indonesia”  + (The employment crisis has become an import … The employment crisis has become an important issue in developing countries, including Indonesia. In Indonesia itself, the issue of the job market crisis is a big problem which can result in many unemployed people, none other than young men and women with graduates. Without realizing it, this can hamper the aspirations of Indonesia itself, namely to become a developed country, because human resources for graduates are only symbols without job opportunities. Problem: The employment crisis can create an imbalance between the number of jobs and the workforce, especially young graduates who tend to want to work in government, causing intense competition and giving rise to a feeling of dilemma for every graduate student, because it is difficult to get a job because of the tight competition, so they have to force and challenge yourself to potentially create your own business beyond the basics. The unemployment rate among youth is quite high, also caused by a lack of skills that match market needs and the high number of college graduates. On the other hand, many industrial sectors lack skilled labor. This creates a mismatch between the qualifications young people have and what employers are looking for. Apart from that, there are also cultural factors that influence, such as the perception that jobs in the formal sector are more prestigious, even though the informal sector also offers opportunities. This crisis is not only an economic problem, but also affects the mental health and future of the younger generation. Therefore, collaboration between government, the private sector and educational institutions is needed to create effective solutions, such as targeted training programs and increasing access to entrepreneurship. </br>The problem of mismatch between industrial needs and the qualifications of the new workforce, especially generation Z, has given rise to the dilemma of increasing unemployment rates in Indonesia. The Indonesian Minister of Manpower said that the statistics for the largest group of unemployed were vocational school graduates, the percentage was 8.9%. Not only that, BPS data also shows that the generation born from 1997 to 2010 is the main contributor to unemployment and the TPT is 16.82%. Apindo also reported that weaknesses emerged in capital-intensive industries and labor-intensive industries in absorbing employment. With data like this, a sense of dilemma arises and becomes a paradox or challenge so that Gen-Z youth tend to become informal rather than formal sector workers. They will create flexible work without being bound by time and place and perhaps for them there will be satisfaction in the income they earn, for example being a content creator, YouTuber and other social media platforms. An informal sector like this can become a small business for Gen-Z. Seeing the situation and changes in work styles like this, regional government extensions should immediately pay attention to this situation. There are definitely two options, namely first, the government supports the informal sector, by strengthening economic infrastructure through technology and innovation, although technology can reduce the need for labor in some formal sectors, innovation can also create new jobs but with the consequence, taxes are not imposed on the informal sector . Or secondly, the government must create productive employment opportunities through increasing education and investment training in vocational education and training that is relevant to the needs of the job market. Appropriate skills training programs can help the workforce adapt to technological and industry changes.</br>The importance of paying attention to the issue of the employment crisis is especially from the perspective of regional governments or regional leaders. Many do not work and are unemployed. High unemployment rates can cause a variety of social problems, including poverty, crime, and mental health problems. There is a need for government collaborative efforts to develop solutions that can help answer the dilemmas and paradoxes of Indonesian Gen-Z youth. Don't let unemployment be the absolute answer because usually unemployment is never seen as a problem in itself. Unemployment is considered a problem, because this will create other problems, such as poverty, increased crime, and so on. In other words, unemployment is never seen as a problem in itself. In itself, unemployment is actually a paradox: people do not work, but their minds are filled with work, precisely the desire to get a job. Physical and mental exercise to get a job is actually work too. The common sense statement: lawyers (unemployment many events) shows exactly the paradoxical side of unemployment. In an unemployed person's free time, his mind is filled with work. The question is: Why is work so important? Is it about money? Maybe the answer is yes. However, we believe that work is not just about money, but about satisfaction which also includes trust, recognition and pride.lso includes trust, recognition and pride.)
• increasing social welfare and economic opportunities  + (The government must also pay attention to … The government must also pay attention to the Poverty Alleviation Program, the Government develops community empowerment programs, such as the Village Fund Program, which provides financial support to villages to improve the economic welfare of rural communities and employment policies, the Government ensures protection for workers by setting minimum wages, encouraging job creation , as well as providing vocational training through Job Training Centers (BLK). As well as Social Protection and Empowerment of Vulnerable Groups: Programs aimed at the elderly, children, disabled and minority groups through social assistance, legal protection and empowerment.</br></br>If the government does not pay attention to social welfare and economic opportunities, the impact can be very broad and affect various aspects of people's lives, such as increasing poverty. Lack of access to equal economic opportunities can cause poverty to become more widespread, because vulnerable groups do not get the opportunity to improve their standard of living. Social Injustice: Imbalances in the distribution of resources and opportunities can trigger social injustice. Certain groups may be marginalized, feel disadvantaged, and lose access to basic needs such as education, health, and housing. Increased Crime and Instability, When basic needs are not met, this often drives people to seek illegal ways to survive. This can increase crime rates, which ultimately disrupts social security and stability and Social Dissatisfaction. Continued inequality can lead to widespread social dissatisfaction. This has the potential to lead to protests, conflict, or even social unrest.</br></br>For this reason, it is important for society and the government to pay attention to social welfare and create inclusive economic opportunities so that balance, stability and social progress can be achieved.ility and social progress can be achieved.)
• From trash heaps to the pinnacle of progress: why regional heads must become environmental heroes?  + (The growth of the overconsuming population … The growth of the overconsuming population has resulted in a drastic increase in waste production. Mismanagement causes accumulation that pollutes the environment and threatens health. The question is whether this waste issue should be a priority for regional head candidates. So far I feel that waste is the root of many problems in every region and even the world, ranging from the environment to the quality of life, therefore in my opinion waste is an issue that needs to be prioritized for regional head candidates even though it is very template, but it proves to be important because it is not resolved. It is proven that every year humans around the world produce so much waste, based on data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), until July 24, 2024, Indonesia has produced 31.9 million tons of waste.</br>With the accumulation of waste, it has a negative impact on the environment and humans. For example, environmental pollution, such as water and soil pollution caused by non-biodegradable waste, then air pollution due to incorrect waste management, such as burning can release toxic pollutants, and so on. From this environmental pollution comes the adverse impact on human health, namely diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites. One of the factors that affect individual and community health is environmental problems. This is because the environment is a place where humans and disease agents can develop together. (Ottay, 2013). Then the impact on quality of life and spatial layout, where the accumulation of waste makes a decrease in the quality of life of the community due to unpleasant odors, insects and rodents that breed disturbing comfort. An area looks slum if there is a lot of garbage so that it damages its aesthetics. It is useless for an area to be built with magnificent infrastructure but the floors are still decorated with garbage, the roadsides are still piled with garbage, rats like protected animals are free to roam, cockroaches fly around spreading disease, the stench of garbage becomes a fragrance, and so on.</br> These impacts have many causes, for which the government and then the community need to take full responsibility. In my opinion, waste accumulation occurs due to the lack of adequate facilities for waste disposal, improper waste management starting from each individual then household to landfill, and also regulations and sanctions from the government regarding waste. Government policies and public awareness are key to solving this waste problem. The government should provide more cleaning facilities, especially trash bins that have clearer waste sorting guidelines, because based on experience, we often want to dispose of waste properly but do not get proper facilities. Then instead of increasing the number of street cleaning employees, it should tighten cleaning supervision by making stricter regulations and more serious sanctions, even if necessary patrols every time. Then I think that education about waste and its harmful effects needs to be socialized a lot to the community, besides that it is necessary to create new innovations to make the community not burdened in managing their waste and protecting their environment.</br> Therefore, waste is a crucial issue that is very important to be considered by prospective regional leaders because of its impact that touches various aspects of life. With good collaboration between the government and the community, we can create a clean, healthy, comfortable and safe region and world to live in. In the embrace of clean nature we find peace, give back that love by keeping the environment clean.hat love by keeping the environment clean.)

• increasingly severe traffic jams and irregular spatial planning in the city of Makassar  + (The regional head candidates of Makassar C … The regional head candidates of Makassar City have a big responsibility to formulate policies that can answer the needs of their citizens and overcome various problems that have long been faced. In my opinion, there are 2 important issues that need to be a priority for the new regional head candidates so that the planning and development of Makassar in the future are more targeted. The first issue that must be a serious concern is the increasingly severe traffic congestion, especially on main roads such as Jalan Urip Sumoharjo, Jalan AP Pettarani, and Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan. The congestion that occurs in the city of Makassar is caused by the increasing number of private vehicles which continues to increase every year while the road capacity does not change to accommodate existing vehicles, the increasing population in Makassar also increases the demands of community life which also increases the volume and frequency of population activities so that there is an imbalance in road needs with population density, low levels of knowledge and traffic culture Where many road users are not orderly by going against the flow and also parking vehicles on the shoulder and body of the road, inadequate public transportation, and ineffective arrangement of heavy tonnage vehicles. One solution that can be proposed is the improvement and enhancement of public transportation, such as bus rapid transit (BRT) or the development of rail-based transportation. Prospective regional heads also need to encourage stricter policies to reduce the use of private vehicles, for example by limiting the number of new vehicles or developing an effective paid parking system so that the increasingly rampant illegal parking problem in commercial areas can be handled. In addition, improving the quality of sidewalks and bicycle lanes can be one way to encourage residents to choose to walk or cycle, as well as increasing the supply of space that can be used to accommodate new activity infrastructure.</br>The second issue that is no less important is the increasingly irregular spatial planning of Makassar City due to rapid urbanization. Many green areas have now been converted into housing or shopping centers without careful planning, resulting in a decline in environmental quality, such as reduced water catchment areas and increased air pollution. Prospective regional heads must have a sustainable spatial planning policy, by increasing green open spaces and strictly controlling development permits so that the balance between development and the environment is maintained.</br>Overall, these two main issues should be the main focus of regional head candidates in building a more advanced and prosperous Makassar City. Handling and reducing congestion, developing efficient public transportation, and more integrated spatial planning are important initial steps to improve the quality of life of the community. With a clear vision and real action, Makassar can develop into a more modern city, while still paying attention to the welfare of its citizens and preserving its environment.s citizens and preserving its environment.)
• Dari Rencana ke Realisasi: Prioritas Utama dalam Kepemimpinan Daerah  + (The role of regional leadership is crucial … The role of regional leadership is crucial for the development and progress of a region. Regional leaders, whether at the district, city, or provincial level, are responsible for leading their areas towards sustainable social, economic, and environmental well-being. In this process, formulating policies and strategic plans is a critical first step. However, these plans must be implemented into tangible and beneficial actions for the community.</br></br>The first priority in effective regional leadership is creating a transparent and accountable government. This is the foundation for the success of implementing the planned programs. The public needs to be able to monitor the performance of the regional government, especially in managing budgets and executing public projects. Regional leaders need to ensure transparency in the dissemination of information about policies and budget allocations to the public. This transparency will increase public trust and reduce the risk of corruption, collusion, and nepotism, which are often obstacles to implementing development plans.</br></br>In addition, accountability in regional governance means having effective oversight mechanisms to ensure that every allocated budget is used for the intended purposes and goals. An accessible public complaint system needs to be strengthened so that the regional government can respond to citizens' grievances and input quickly and appropriately.</br></br>Infrastructure is a key factor in economic growth and improving the quality of life. Therefore, one of the top priorities is equitable and inclusive infrastructure development. Many regions in Indonesia, particularly remote areas, still face challenges in accessing basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, clean water, and the internet. Regional leaders must ensure that infrastructure development is evenly distributed throughout the region, not just concentrated in urban centers. Inclusive infrastructure development will create new economic opportunities, improve access to education and healthcare, and reduce regional disparities. For example, good roads will make it easier for farmers to distribute their produce to markets, while adequate internet networks will open up access to information and business opportunities for rural communities. Regional leaders need to collaborate with the central government, the private sector, and the community to implement infrastructure development that is accessible to all.</br></br>Education is key to long-term regional progress. One of the priorities for regional leaders is often improving the quality of education. The biggest challenge is ensuring that these plans are well-executed on the ground. Regional governments need to allocate adequate budgets for school construction, improving teacher quality, and providing sufficient educational facilities. Additionally, it is important for regional leaders not only to focus on formal education but also on job training programs that enhance the skills of the population in line with local labor market needs. Vocational training, skills courses, and workforce capacity building for the younger generation can help reduce unemployment and increase the competitiveness of the regional workforce. These programs must be designed to be flexible with technological developments and economic trends to have a direct positive impact on society.</br></br>The next priority is ensuring adequate access to healthcare services for the population. Regional leaders must commit to improving the quality of healthcare facilities, such as community health centers, clinics, and hospitals, especially in areas far from urban centers. Access to quality healthcare is crucial to maintaining public health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The realization of plans in the healthcare sector can be achieved by strengthening healthcare human resources, such as doctors and nurses, and ensuring that healthcare facilities are equipped with adequate tools and medicines. Moreover, preventive healthcare programs, such as health campaigns and immunizations, must be prioritized to prevent preventable diseases in the population.</br></br>As part of the responsibility of regional leaders, the management of natural resources (SDA) and the environment is an important aspect that cannot be overlooked. Many regions in Indonesia are rich in natural resources such as mining, forests, and fisheries. However, unsustainable management often leads to environmental degradation and social conflict. Therefore, regional leaders must prioritize sustainable natural resource management as part of regional development policy.</br></br>Effective environmental policies must be formulated to ensure that the exploitation of natural resources is conducted with consideration for long-term environmental sustainability. For instance, mining or plantation permits must be granted selectively with careful consideration of long-term environmental impacts. Additionally, regional leaders need to take the initiative in environmental rehabilitation programs and support green movements that involve local communities, such as reforestation, waste management, and water source conservation.</br></br>Regional leaders play a crucial role in advancing the local economy, particularly by developing Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs are the backbone of the regional economy because they provide jobs for local residents and contribute significantly to regional GDP. In the development plan, regional leaders must ensure that there are policies that support MSME growth, such as access to capital, business training, and opening new markets.</br></br>Moreover, promoting local products, especially those with export potential, should be part of the regional leader's economic program. Local economic empowerment can be enhanced through collaboration between MSMEs and large industries to create mutually beneficial synergies. The development of cooperatives and community business groups can strengthen the local economy collectively.</br></br>Conclusion</br></br>Regional leaders are responsible for ensuring that every program has a direct impact on improving the well-being of the community. Through government transparency, inclusive infrastructure development, improving the quality of education and healthcare, as well as empowering the local economy, regional leaders can create real change in their regions. The success of regional leadership is not only measured by how well plans are made, but also by how effectively those plans are realized to meet the needs of the community.alized to meet the needs of the community.)

• Don't let the earth cry because of our trash  + (The waste problem in developing countries … The waste problem in developing countries like Indonesia is a problem that is almost never resolved, this happens because it is not handled properly by all parties, both the government and society. Where the waste is only collected together and then ends up at the final disposal site, however, the rubbish that piles up at the final disposal site has a negative impact on human health, environmental sustainability, as well as wildlife that is trapped or exposed to dangerous materials from the pile of rubbish itself. Apart from that, waste that is not managed properly will damage ecosystems and threaten biodiversity by polluting natural habitats. Plastic waste, for example, accounts for the majority of marine pollution, because this material is difficult to decompose and often ends up in the ocean, ultimately threatening marine life and damaging maritime ecosystems. In 2022, Indonesia's seas will be polluted by 389 thousand tons of plastic waste and in 2017 plastic waste in the ocean will be eaten by animals and will kill 1 million seabirds and 100 thousand marine mammals.</br>Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world with an area of 1,811,570 square kilometers and according to the Worldometers survey, the population reaches 273,523,615 people, so that if you calculate every 1 square kilometer, there are 151 residents. This is also in line with the waste produced. From weste4change data in 2021, Indonesia produces 175,000 tons of waste every day, however, of this amount of waste, only 7.5% can be recycled and made into compost, while the remaining 10% of waste is landfilled, 5% of waste is burned. and the rest accumulates in landfill. Apart from causing environmental pollution, the mounting piles of rubbish also increase the production of methane gas from the rubbish.</br>For example, the case of a methane gas explosion in a mountain of rubbish at the Leuwigajah TPA, Cimahi, West Java in 2005 which triggered landslides in the villages of Cilimus and Mojong. The methane gas explosion also resulted in the deaths of 157 people, most of whom were local residents who worked as scavengers. This case example once again shows how serious the waste problem is, which must be immediately addressed and resolved by paying attention to how waste management should be carried out. The waste management process is not only about reduce, reuse and recycle, but there are various much more important aspects that must be paid attention to, such as legal aspects, institutional aspects, funding aspects, socio-cultural aspects and technological aspects, all of which must be worked on simultaneously. . </br>The problem of waste is a national problem, so its management must be carried out comprehensively. Solving problems regarding waste management requires cooperation from various parties, from the government, product manufacturers or the business world to the general public. Five aspects of waste management that have not been effective in Indonesia must be immediately accelerated so that the incident at the Leuwigajah TPA does not happen again. It is hoped that Indonesia can have good quality waste management, although this will not be realized in a short time, where consistency and mutual awareness are needed that management Waste must be a priority because cleanliness is an investment for the sustainability of life in the future. the sustainability of life in the future.)

This is a clear example of the misuse of language often found in public spaces. This phenomenon reflects the troubling state and usage of the national language, bahasa Indonesia. Additionally, it is frequently observed that children in South Sulawesi no longer speak their mother tongue. In fact, the most effective way to preserve regional languages is to teach them early in the family setting.</br>This situation is not merely a matter of poor writing or teaching; it demonstrates a disregard for legal mandates, cultural heritage, identity, and national character. Amidst the fervor of digitalization, regional languages such as Aksara Lontara are gradually fading, while bahasa Indonesia is often used incorrectly. South Sulawesi, with its rich diversity of regional languages, has significant potential to become a center for the preservation of language and literature, boasting 14 regional languages, including four major languages: Bugis, Makassar, Mandar, and Toraja, as well as ten minor languages that should be valued and preserved.</br>Language is the identity of a nation. If languages are not nurtured, cultural identities and values will erode. Regional languages play a crucial role in shaping the identity and character of society. By recognizing and using regional languages, a deeper understanding of local culture, traditions, and wisdom can be achieved. The preservation of regional languages also contributes to global cultural diversity. In this era of globalization, cultural diversity must be protected and celebrated.

Concrete, focused, collaborative, and sustainable programs are needed, starting from the most fundamental level: schools. Raising public awareness about the correct use of language in public spaces and enforcing regulations regarding language use must be more stringent, accompanied by comprehensive education for the community.

This means that the working-age population between 15 and 64 years old will significantly outnumber those aged 65 and above. The working-age population in Indonesia is expected to constitute more than 60% of the total population. To fully capitalize on this demographic dividend, it is imperative that the nation equips itself with robust technological capabilities. This is because internet-based social networks have become an integral part of contemporary human life, giving rise to numerous new trends and cultures. Education should therefore be positioned as the solution to the myriad of challenges faced by the nation, such as corruption, curriculum issues, intolerance, and the proliferation of hate speech. One explanation for why our education system has been unable to address these societal problems is the lack of emphasis on deductive reasoning in the learning process.</br></br>The deductive paradigm tends to overlook empirical experiences and daily life as integral parts of the learning process. One explanation for our education system's inability to address the nation's various problems is the lack of emphasis on deductive reasoning in the learning process. The deductive paradigm tends to disregard empirical experiences and daily life as integral components of the learning process. Consequently, learners find it difficult to comprehend and master the learning materials due to their distance from real-world experiences. Yet, the essence of education lies in experience. Therefore, daily experiences constitute the most crucial laboratory in education.</br></br>In South Sulawesi, many rural areas in both districts and cities still lack equitable access to education. While students in urban areas return home with new ideas and perspectives, what about those in remote villages with suboptimal teaching management and inadequate school facilities? One example is an elementary school in Kale Lantang village, Polong Bangkeng Selatan district, Takalar. Unlike other schools, this school has a low enrollment, resulting in insufficient BOS funds to adequately support the teaching process. The amount of BOS funds allocated to a school is largely determined by its student population.</br></br>If the national government doesn't pay attention to this problem, then local governments and villages must step up and make sure that all children have the same opportunities to learn. They can do this by making new local laws or by simply making good decisions. Local leaders should focus on helping people, especially when it comes to education.

Although we have achieved rapid development in recent years, there are still some people who are in difficult economic conditions. Therefore, the poverty alleviation program plan proposed by the head of Makassar is very relevant and crucial to be considered.</br></br>This poverty alleviation plan must be based on an in-depth analysis of the socioeconomic conditions of the community. Accurate and timely data on the number of poor people, the causes of poverty, and the potential of local resources should be the basis for designing effective programs. The situation in Makassar requires a comprehensive approach that not only focuses on social assistance, but also creates jobs and improves access to education and health services.</br></br>One of the strategic steps that can be taken is to develop a community economic empowerment program. These programs can include skills training, access to capital and business support for people who want to start or expand small businesses. The aim is to help communities become financially independent and escape poverty by improving skills and increasing access to resources. This also contributes to more inclusive local economic growth.</br></br>In addition, it is important to build partnerships with various parties, including the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and local communities. Building partnerships can help poverty alleviation programs become more inclusive and sustainable. For example, the private sector can play a role in job creation, and non-governmental organizations can provide education and social support. Involving all regional heads, this program will provide a wider reach and more significant impact.</br></br>Poverty alleviation programs must be integrated into sound infrastructure development policies. Access to infrastructure such as roads, electricity and clean water has a significant impact on people’s quality of life. Therefore, improvements to infrastructure in remote and underserved areas are critical to opening up new economic opportunities and improving people’s living standards. Investments in infrastructure also promote more equitable economic growth.</br></br>However, the implementation of this program is not without challenges. One of the main challenges is ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of budget funds. The public should participate in monitoring the program so that they can provide input and constructive criticism. In this way, public trust in the government will increase and their participation in poverty alleviation programs will increase.</br></br>Thus, the poverty alleviation program plan by the Makassar regional head must be dynamic and adaptive. Given the changing socioeconomic situation, it is necessary to periodically evaluate the programs implemented to assess their effectiveness and make adjustments if necessary. Only in this way can poverty alleviation efforts be successful and bring real benefits to the community. </br></br>Overall, the poverty alleviation programs planned in Makassar have great potential to bring about positive changes. It is hoped that with the right approach and good cooperation between various parties, Makassar will become a richer and more inclusive city for all its citizens. more inclusive city for all its citizens.)

Environmental Issues</br>There are many issues related to the environment, starting from the slow handling of waste which causes flooding in several places during the rainy season, even reaching the main roads causing traffic jams, and worse, there have been riots on the toll roads because motorcyclists entered. The road repairs are not felt, traffic jams often occur in several places, there is a water crisis in some areas, and in recent years there have been rolling blackouts. </br></br>2. The Issue of Poverty and Misallocated Aid</br>I think this might be quite heavy, but this issue also needs to be addressed so that welfare can be built. Regarding the issue of poverty, I want to connect it with the awareness that if people are continuously spoon-fed without being given something that can improve themselves, such as skill training, creativity, or something similar, then those people will have a poverty mentality and will keep waiting to be spoon-fed. I completely agree that the social assistance given frequently is very helpful, but not with the provision of social assistance for free without any goals to achieve. Moreover, if the assistance provided is not targeted and only favors those with connections or acquaintances, it is truly ironic. </br></br>3. HR and Job Vacancies</br>The topic of HR and job vacancies also has important issues that need to be addressed.

Economics refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in a society. Meanwhile, welfare refers to a condition in which basic human needs are met, both materially and non-materially, so that individuals can live a decent and quality life. In the context of the election of regional head candidates, the issue of “economy and welfare” is an important issue to be prioritized by regional head candidates because both have a direct impact on the quality of life of the community. By improving economic conditions and welfare, regional heads can create a more prosperous and stable environment, with the reason being that if the economy develops, people are more able to get better access to their needs such as food, education, health services, and housing, especially in peripheral areas which are still often found. This can improve the overall physical, mental, and social well-being of the community. Poverty reduction can also be one of the main objectives in economic development, by creating programs that focus on providing jobs, developing MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), and social assistance that can help lift the poor out of poverty because it can be a reason for some people who want to pursue a more decent education. Regional heads who are able to overcome poverty will have a significant direct impact on their citizens and of course jobs not only provide income, but also provide a sense of belonging, identity, and satisfaction for them. Some of these regions still have challenges in providing employment, especially among young people, which is one of the problems that must be addressed in effective economic policies and of course this development is preferred by the community. A growing economy can create more jobs for people. Regional heads who focus on economic development will seek to increase investment in their region, supporting local sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, industry and tourism. This gives people the opportunity to work and have a stable income. </br>Health is also an important aspect of well-being. A good health program will improve people's overall quality of life. Regional head candidates need to ensure that health services are easily accessible and of high quality, especially for vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. With programs aimed at health, it will help create a more productive generation. Of course, good health will increase productivity. The provision of adequate and affordable clean water is also very important and is included in the Health of communities that are still difficult to get clean water. This is also one of the main determining factors in improving welfare. By implementing programs that can be realized such as the government needs to work with the private sector, civil society, and donor agencies to increase access to clean water, communities need to be provided with knowledge and skills in managing clean water and good sanitation, and the application of appropriate technology can increase efficiency in managing clean water.</br>Economic and welfare issues are at the heart of local leadership. By making these issues a priority, regional heads can create a better environment for their citizens, focusing on issues including job creation, poverty alleviation, infrastructure improvement, as well as ensuring that the benefits of economic growth can be enjoyed by all levels of society and leave a brighter future for future generations. a brighter future for future generations.)

Through education, individuals can develop their potential, skills and knowledge needed to face future challenges. In Indonesia, the issue of education is very important because there are still many challenges to be faced, such as the low quality of education, the gap in access between urban and rural areas, and the lack of adequate facilities. In the context of local elections, education issues should be a top priority for prospective leaders. Improving equitable access to education not only helps children acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, but also contributes to poverty reduction and overall improvement in quality of life.</br>Indonesia, which is known as a country with a vast geography, causes inequality in education. This is because there are still many remote areas in Indonesia that are still not covered by proper formal education facilities. Poor infrastructure, as well as a lack of educators, is the first problem in providing quality education in these areas. This can be seen in the difference in school quality between urban and rural areas. Schools in urban areas tend to have more learning facilities and better teaching quality than those in rural areas. Although the government is trying to equitably distribute facilities across the region, it is often faced with a bottleneck in the educational facilities provided to rural areas. Therefore, this issue should be prioritized by regional head candidates in their work programs.</br>In addition, economic inequality has resulted in Indonesia still being classified as a developing country. This can be felt when jobs are difficult to find, the number of unemployed people increases every year, schools are still paid, and many people live below economic standards. As a result, economic inequality has an impact on education. Children from poor families often find it difficult to access quality education due to economic constraints. Although the government has provided various programs such as free schools, scholarships, and so on, educational inequality still occurs because of the unequal assistance provided. Even the assistance provided by the government, not infrequently undergoes periodic cuts until it finally reaches the person concerned not in accordance with the actual amount given. From these problems, regional head candidates must prioritize the issue of education for the better.</br>Improving access and quality of education is an important step towards achieving sustainable development and community welfare in Indonesia, especially in remote areas. Therefore, regional head candidates need to prioritize these issues in their work programs to ensure that every citizen has equal opportunities in obtaining quality education. By prioritizing education issues, regional head candidates can make a significant contribution to regional development.

The aim of national development in the field of education is to make the nation's life more intelligent and improve the quality of human resources. One effort to implement this goal is for the government to issue educational policies that are in line with scientific developments. If you look at the current education phenomenon, it is very complex in terms of the problems that occur starting from several remote areas or perhaps even coastal areas that have not been touched by development. Starting from the problem of inadequate teaching staff, curriculum and facilities. Apart from that, there are many cases of bullying and sexual harassment which give the image that the school environment is currently a scary place for the people in it. Even though it is important, its implementation and implementation can be said to be far from being realized so that it has a broad and sustainable impact in various aspects. Therefore, investment in improving the quality of education must be a top priority for the government, especially regional head candidates, to ensure that every individual has the same opportunity to develop and develop. contribute to the progress of society.</br></br>Unequal access is one of the biggest challenges in several areas, especially in South Sulawesi. Even in one of the areas directly bordering Makassar City, which is not considered far from this big city, there are still schools that have not been touched by development, both in terms of teaching staff and facilities. Many children in remote areas have to travel long distances just to reach school. Even in big cities, educational problems are not spared, for example, the number of school dropouts has reached very high numbers in several big cities, causing an increasing number of children at an early age to become street children or even involved in criminal cases. This is an illustration that education is still very far from the actual concept, therefore as a regional head candidate you must ensure that every child regardless of their socio-economic background has equal access to education.</br></br>Education, as a fundamental right, should not just be an echo during political events. But this is the government's main responsibility in fulfilling the right to education as regulated by the state, even in religion, it is mandatory for humans to seek knowledge. Education must be a light for all children in this country, not a frightening burden.

In a democratic republic, the election of local leaders is necessary so that they can protect and serve the community well in each region.</br></br>What crosses my mind as I pass by hundreds of billboards for candidates for local leaders, legislators, and other positions is simple: "Are they chosen based on their quality or the quantity of votes?" Over time, I feel that we should start proposing a selection mechanism for local elections, legislative candidates, and all government positions based on the quantity of public votes.</br></br>Let us understand together that in a country that claims to be democratic, everyone's voice is considered equally valuable because every individual has the same voting rights and participation before the law, regardless of their position, background, or intellectual ability. This is a form of state justice in fulfilling the equality rights of society in political participation.</br></br>Unfortunately, this opportunity is often misused by various individuals who we might currently see as influential people selected through an election process that is not free from vote-buying. This occurs because many people are apathetic and unaware that their right to vote and be heard is valuable and can directly impact their lives, especially among the lower middle class, whose basic rights are often not well met, leading them to not think long-term about politics; their main concern is how to ensure they can eat tomorrow.</br></br>The worst-case scenario is when those trusted to uphold the aspirations of the people misuse their power to benefit their own group because their rise to power is tainted and lacks cognitive or intellectual scrutiny. There is concern that as they grow and become entrenched in our government, they will maintain and exploit the powerlessness of the community, reducing the ability of younger generations to critique by leveraging their authority to keep the public misled.</br></br>We cannot avoid or completely eliminate such practices, as many continue to engage in political campaigning, which is their right as citizens, as long as it does not involve gross misconduct. Returning to the main question: Are local leaders elected based on their quality or the quantity of votes? For now, they are indeed chosen based on the dominant quantity among all candidates, and at least if unclean practices are employed, those elected can still be beneficial if accompanied by a selection mechanism prioritizing knowledge and the candidates' thinking abilities.</br></br>A rough outline of the selection mechanism; firstly, anyone wishing to run should undergo a test or selection process that can assess their problem-solving abilities, such as knowledge of social issues, followed by case studies to demonstrate how they would address them as someone in authority. This would be followed by testing general knowledge in various fields such as economics, the environment, education, and health, assessing how they respond verbally and spontaneously. They would be confirmed to run until all candidates are present to design programs that will have a significant impact on the population in their region before they are elected and take office, potentially forming a special team from the province for this purpose.</br></br>The author's hope is that with transparent and clean testing and bureaucracy open to the public, the results of this selection will yield positive outcomes for society, regardless of which candidate is elected. We need leaders who are truly competent and innovative in addressing social issues. Hopefully, this proposal can be realized by policymakers and supported by local leaders for future candidates.ed by local leaders for future candidates.)
• Expensive Education and Decommercialization: Quality decreases and is shackled  + (Expensive Education and Decommercializatio … Expensive Education and Decommercialization: Declining Quality and Shackling</br></br>Education plays a central role in the lives of individuals and societies. The importance of education lies in its ability to equip everyone with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to face life's challenges, both at the personal and collective levels. Good education helps create a generation that is more critical, innovative, and adaptive to global change. Socially, education also plays a major role as a tool to reduce inequality. With equal access to education, everyone, regardless of socio-economic background, has an equal opportunity to succeed. Education not only improves the quality of life of individuals, but also strengthens the economic foundation of a country, because an educated workforce is more productive, creative, and able to contribute significantly to economic growth.</br>Ededeeh but in that article, what happens in the field is very different, education which should be a basic right for every child is now increasingly out of reach, especially for those who are in vulnerable conditions. The phenomenon of commercialization of education, which has given rise to expensive education costs, has worsened this condition, so the rich can go to good schools, while underprivileged children go to inadequate places, with the mindset that "the important thing is school". I don't know if knowledge is obtained or not, but the quality of schools must also be improved and not discriminated against. The condition of commercialization of education has worsened this condition. In the city of Makassar, the number of children dropping out of school (APS) increasingly reflects this injustice. In 2023, the Makassar City Education Office recorded that 2,240 children dropped out of elementary school and 1,055 at junior high school. These figures are clear evidence that high costs in education contribute to increasing APS rates. In addition, vulnerable groups such as street children in Makassar City face increasingly complex challenges. Not only are education costs expensive, but also factors of life instability, lack of family support, and poverty are the main barriers for them to get a decent education. This increasingly commercialized education system does not seem to provide a solution for marginalized groups. Instead of eradicating poverty through education, they are actually increasingly trapped in a cycle of poverty and limited access to quality education. By involving collaboration between the government, community and private sector to establish learning centers in various areas, especially in vulnerable environments. This center does not only focus on formal education, but also provides social and psychological support to underprivileged children or street children, or by providing full scholarships for children from underprivileged families. with the government can establish partnerships with private schools and non-profit institutions. NGOs and institutions that focus on social welfare.</br>This crisis must be a serious concern for the government and stakeholders. High education costs and the commercialization of the education sector will only widen the social gap, and more children will lose the opportunity to learn. The government needs to come up with policies that favor vulnerable groups, provide free or subsidized education for those who cannot afford it, and ensure that education is accessible to all levels of society without discrimination. levels of society without discrimination.)
• Facilities and infrastructure are still considered inadequate in education (Muh Afdal Multasyam)  + (Facilities and infrastructure are still co … Facilities and infrastructure are still considered inadequate in education (Muh Afdal Multasyam), which in my opinion is very lacking because there are still many schools that lack basic facilities such as laboratories, libraries and now it is said that the era is very sophisticated and automatically requires computers in every school. and that is also one of the things that can hinder students' learning process in the current era. In my opinion, this is my response regarding education for regional head candidates. I hope to be more sensitive about education because the younger generation is the successor of this nation and will continue to be like that. nation and will continue to be like that.)
• Improve the quality of education in Indonesia.  + (Fahrezy, Vendredi, 18 Octobre 2024 As we … Fahrezy, Vendredi, 18 Octobre 2024</br> As we know, it is almost time for us to determine regional leaders for the next 5 years. And as students (often called agents of change), we also have some hopes for prospective leaders.</br> </br>Seeing the sad state of school education in Indonesia which is very worrying. Why do I say "worrying"? Because there are still students who still cannot read and/or write. The truth of this is questionable. Hearing stories from several fellow students who went to schools to take part in the Merdeka Campus program. Where students are directed to schools from Kindergarten (TK) to High School (SMA). My friend said “Ditempatkan ka di sekolah menengah pertama yang dijalan tamalate. Sampe ku disana, ada ku dapat anak-anak tidak bisa membaca. Maksudku saya tohh, kalau memang tidak memungkinkan ki untuk naik kelas yang pasnya SD karena belumpi bisa membaca, jangan dikasih naik kelas”.</br> </br>Therefore, we hope that future leaders will pay more attention to the quality of our education. In our opinion, this is very important because it involves the future of the nation and the fate of the nation's future is in their hands. So, where is the problem behind all this? Through a fairly long discussion process, we managed to try to answer this question. One factor that is quite interesting to discuss is parenting. "Parenting is the process of raising children, which is usually done by their parents/guardians", Khairally (2023). We assume that the lack of education at home is a factor in why children cannot read and/or write due to the lack of teachings from their parents from an early age. But to overcome this problem is very difficult. Because the daily activities of parents are not only caring for children, but they also have to take care of themselves and also work to support their children. Kim (2021) also said "Daily pressures such as preparing children for school, working from home, or doing additional tasks, can make the role of a parent more difficult". Therefore, we turn to another factor, namely teachers. As we know, teachers are jobs that teach knowledge to children in their schools. They are also the ones who teach children how to read and write in kindergarten. And start counting when they first enter elementary school, Caesaria (2023). However, the teaching profession in Indonesia is often considered trivial. Their salaries are also very small when compared to other professions. According to Oktyandito (2024), "Teachers who have Group I are usually new teachers who have graduated from the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) or are bachelors of education. Quoting Government Regulation Number 5 of 2024 concerning Civil Servant Salary Regulations, the salary of a Group I PNS teacher is IDR 1,685,700 to IDR 2,901,400 per month". Seeing that small number certainly makes me personally not want to be a teacher in Indonesia and prefer another profession. Teachers oftentimes take side jobs to cover their needs. So no wonder, if teachers at school are not focused when teaching and assessing their students. So those who are not competent are still given permission to continue their learning at the next level (Moving up a class), even though the student cannot read and/or write. However, what if there are no more students who want to become teachers because of the low salary?. What will the future of this nation be like without them? (the teachers). Therefore, we hope that teacher salaries will be increased to the point of being "adequate" as teaching staff in Indonesia. With the increase in teacher salaries, students will be interested in making the teaching profession their option when choosing a major at university. Although it can hurt the country's asset, but at least we can also raise the standard of teacher quality in Indonesia by raising the standard of quality of Teacher Professional Education (PPG). So the tests that will be given to prospective teachers will be more difficult and strict. This is done to improve the quality of teaching methods for prospective teachers, and to take the teaching profession seriously.</br></br>So, the solution that I can offer is to raise the standard of teacher quality by making the teaching profession a profession that is worth considering when choosing a major at university, and also tightening the screening of prospective teachers during the Teacher Procession Education (PPG) in order to produce more qualified teachers for this nation.e more qualified teachers for this nation.)
