Higher education cannot succeed unless lower education does. If high schools are not educating
most students up to the democratic threshold, then many colleges and universities will continue
the primary education of their students. Many American colleges have already assumed this role:
most community colleges offer high-school graduates a second chance at achieving basic
literacy, often for the explicit sake of helping them get a job.

In Indonesia for grade of higher education, as we see most of collage on Indonesia might be look
like they're don't care of qualified. It can be understanding as a major form that higher education
still not yet reach that purpose by our country.

For an example some student that have an options to step up their education on collage
neverthless they don't do that for some reason. This the fact that Indonesia still not reach the full
purpose of higher education on democracy

we have some argued, another, equally complex and intellectually more challenging way in
which students can be taught to understand the moral demands of democratic life. While not a
substitute for character training, learning how to think carefully and critically about political
problems, to articulate one's views and defend them be fore people with whom one disagrees is a
form of moral education to which young adults are more receptive and for which universities are
well suited. Many of the same arguments for teaching primary school students to deliberate hold
for college students, for whom engaging in a "bit of 'indoctrination' in the virtues of democracy"
is less likely to be effective." Not only is this reason for democratic control (the incul- cation of
common values) missing, but there are other reasons rooted in the democratic purposes of
universities that support a case for the relative autonomy of universities from democratic control.
The relative autonomy of a university is rooted in its primary democratic purpose: protection
against the threat of democratic tyranny. The threat of democratic tyranny like a terrorism term,
radical state, and other of that.

ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND FREEDOMTHEACADEMIC

Academic freedom is a moral and legal concept expressing the conviction that the
freedom of inquiry by faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy as well as the
principles of academic, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or
facts (including those that are inconvenient to external political groups or to authorities) without
being fear of repression, job loss, or imprisonment.

Academic freedom is the basis of the development of science. UNESCO defines

So it's has been explains pose of higher education that we concluding in two ways: by
respecting what is commonly called the "academic freedom" of scholars, and by respecting what
might be called the "freedom of the academy."

EDUCATING OFFICEHOLDERS

Social offices, particularly in the professions. Economists often view the university's gate
keeping function as a piece of its primary purpose: maximizing social value, welfare, or utility
(the terms are used interchangeably). The view is apparently attractive. Why, one might ask,
should universities not try to maximize social value? The rhetorical force of the question can best
be countered by considering how a self consciously utility-maximizing university would behave
with regard to selecting and then educating fu ture officeholders.

 It means provides information as well as skill, therefore to maximilize the function. On
this study we learn that in higher education we must do some qualified for reaching the aim of it.

FOSTERING ASSOCIATIONAL FREEDOM

Safeguarding academic freedom and educating officeholders are the primary purposes of
universities, but not their only socially significant purposes.

Universities are also communities of scholars, students, and administrators who share
intellectual, educational, and (in some cases) also religious values. Although they are not truly
voluntary communities (since so many careers today require a college degree), many students
and faculty choose where they want to study or to teach. The relative intellectual worth of
various institutions is only one factor in their decisions. Universities are also chosen for the kinds
of academic communities they are. In the case of many private universities, trustees first
determined the nature of their community, but they rarely remain the sole force behind
perpetuating or redefining communal standards.

Faculty and students as well as administrators also influence the communal life of their
university. They generally have more of an interest in defin- ing communal standards than do
nonmembers, at least as long as a uni- versity is not threatening the principles of nonrepression
and nondis- crimination. Is there an ideal academic community by democratic standards? The
most commonly invoked ideal the ivory tower, all of whose members are dedicated to the pursuit
of knowledge for its own sake-is not the most democratic one. The ideal is based on an
interpretation of the classical Greek understanding of knowledge and its relation to the good life
and the good society: the pursuit of knowledge is the good of the mind, and the good of the mind
is the highest good to which humans can aspire and that societies can support. All members of a
genuine academic community must be dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake,
according to this view, not only because no higher purpose exists but also because all other
purposes (such as professional education) prevent scholars and students from searching for the
most fundamental form of knowledge, which is metaphysical rather than practical.

 CONCLUTION

We can understand that the pupose of higher education is to perfect the level of intelligence of
those who decide to continiue their education from highscholl to collage so that they can adapt in
real life.
