A health official in Surakarta expressed concern about the growing smoking rate among Indonesia's youth and said they lacked education on health risks.

A survey has found about 13 percent of first-time smokers in the country are junior high school
students. It also revealed 89 percent of young female employees were smokers.
The survey was conducted in five major cities across the country, including Surakarta in Central
Java.

Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agencys respiratory illness division, said
that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of Indonesian smokers. "This
situation is a cause for concern, he said. It appears the countrys younger generation is
uneducated about the health risks of smoking.

The Indonesian anti-tobacco campaign has reportedly been deemed as ineffective as the
government refuses to sign the international convention on tobacco control. It said that cigarette
producers contributed to a large amount to state revenue and gave jobs to thousands of workers.

PERTUMBUHAN JUMLAH SISWA YANG MEROKOK

Sebuah survei telah menemukan sekitar 13 persen dari perokok pertama kali di negara tersebut
adalah siswa SMP. Hal itu juga mengungkapkan 89 persen karyawan perempuan muda adalah
perokok.
Survei ini dilakukan di lima kota besar di seluruh negeri, termasuk Surakarta di Jawa Tengah.
Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, divisi penyakit pernafasan Badan Kesehatan Surakarta,
mengatakan bahwa penemuan survei menunjukkan tingkat pertumbuhan perokok Indonesia yang
mengkhawatirkan. "Situasi ini memprihatinkan," katanya. "Tampaknya generasi muda negara itu
tidak memiliki pendidikan tentang risiko kesehatan jika merokok.

Kampanye anti-tembakau Indonesia dilaporkan telah dianggap tidak efektif karena pemerintah
menolak untuk menandatangani konvensi internasional tentang pengendalian tembakau.
Dikatakan bahwa produsen rokok telah memberikan kontribusi terhadap sejumlah besar
pendapatan negara dan memberikan pekerjaan kepada ribuan pekerja.
Where Should Be after High School?
The National examination result will be publicly enouncedin next short time. Euphoria will flood
for those who get success. In the other hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some of them
do not succeed in their national final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to
decide; where will they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide for
those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those have not planed yet, it will be quite
confusing.
Continuing study or looking for work is the primary choice among them. When they think about
continuing study, they will think hard about the time and cost. How long the higher study will
last? And how high is about the cost. In the same way, when they think about straightly seeking
job, what skill and competence they have got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both
choices in the same time is an alternative.
Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will be hard for them.
Conventionally studying in the university needs much time to spend especially in the first year. It
is true because they have to do and adapt a lot of things in their new higher school. it will be very
hard to looking for job. Therefore it should come to their mind of continuing studying at higher
school from their own home. As result, the available time will be more flexible for them. Then it
will be very possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of studying is publicly
known as distance learning.
As the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional studying which students and the
lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place regularly, distance learning provides possibility
to grow better. Possibly working and studying surely will create high quality graduate. Distance
learning should appear as a considerable choice for them.

Kemana kita selanjutnya setelah lulus SMA ?

Hasil UN akan diumumkan sebentar lagi. Eforia akan membanjiri mereka yang mendapatkan
kesuksesan. Di sisi lain, mereka menyesal mendengar bahwa beberapa dari mereka ada yang
tidak berhasil dalam ujian nasional. Bagi mereka yang berhasil akan segera berpikir untuk
memutuskan, di mana mereka akan melanjutkan setelah lulus SMA? sebenarnya mudah untuk
memutuskan bagi mereka yang telah mengatur dan berpikir sebelumnya tetapi bagi mereka yang
belum merencanakan, itu akan cukup membingungkan.
Melanjutkan pendidikan atau mencari pekerjaan adalah pilihan utama di antara mereka. Ketika
mereka berpikir tentang melanjutkan pendidikan, mereka akan berpikir keras tentang waktu dan
biaya. Berapa lama pendidikan yang lebih tinggi akan berlangsung? Dan seberapa besar
biayanya. Dengan cara yang sama,mereka akan berpikir tentang mencari pekerjaan,keterampilan
apa dan kompetensi apa yang mereka punya, adalah masalah besar yang sangat dipertanyakan.
Jadi, melakukan kedua pilihan dalam waktu yang sama adalah sebuah alternatif.
Melanjutkan pendidikan serta mencari pekerjaan yang mungkin dilakukan tetapi akan sulit bagi
mereka. Secara konvensional belajar di universitas membutuhkan banyak waktu untuk
dihabiskan terutama pada tahun pertama. Memang benar karena mereka harus melakukan dan
menyesuaikan banyak hal di sekolah baru mereka yang lebih tinggi. maka akan sangat sulit
untuk mencari pekerjaan.oleh karena itu mereka harus memiliki pikiran untuk melanjutkan
sekolah yang lebih tinggi dari rumah mereka sendiri. Akibatnya, waktu yang tersedia akan lebih
fleksibel bagi mereka. Maka akan sangat mungkin untuk mencari pekerjaan dan mendapatkan
satu yang sesuai. Jenis belajar ini dikenal publik sebagai pembelajaran jarak jauh.
Sebagai metode alternatif belajar, selain mempelajari konvensional yang mana mahasiswa dan
dosen harus bertemu dalam waktu yang tetap dan tempat secara teratur, pembelajaran jarak jauh
memberikan kemungkinan untuk tumbuh lebih baik. Kemungkinan bekerja dan belajar pasti
akan menciptakan lulusan yang berkualitas tinggi. Pembelajaran jarak jauh akan muncul sebagai
pilihan yang cukup bagi mereka.
