2. Muhammad Who is Ki Hajar Dewantara ? • Raden Mas Soewardi Soerjaningrat or better known as Ki Hadjar Dewantara was the founder of Perguruan Taman Siswa, an educational institution that provided opportunities for common natives to obtain educational rights like priyayi and Dutch people. • Ki Hadjar Dewantara was born in Yogyakarta on May 2, 1889 under the name Raden Mas Soewardi Soeryaningrat. Ki Hajar Dewantara grew up in the Yogyakarta palace family. When he was 40 years old according to the Caka Year count, Raden Mas Soewardi Soeryaningrat changed his name to Ki Hadjar Dewantara. Since then, Ki Hadjar Dewantara no longer uses the title of nobility in front of his name. • Ki Hadjar Dewantara then worked as a journalist for several newspapers including Sedyotomo, Midden Java, De Express, Oetoesan Hindia, Kaoem Moeda, Tjahaja Timoer and Poesara. In his time, Ki Hadjar Dewantara was known as a reliable writer. His writings are very communicative, sharp and patriotic so that they can evoke anti-colonial spirit for their readers. • Apart from working as a young journalist, Ki Hadjar Dewantara is also active in various social and political organizations. In 1908, Ki Hadjar Dewantara was active in the propaganda section of Boedi Oetomo to socialize and raise awareness of the Indonesian people at that time about the importance of unity and integrity in the nation and state. Then, together with Douwes Dekker (Dr. Danudirdja Setyabudhi) and dr. Cipto Mangoenkoesoemo who would later be known as the Triumvirate, Ki Hadjar Dewantara founded the Indische Partij (the first political party with Indonesian nationalism) on December 25, 1912, which aimed to achieve an independent Indonesia. • President Soekarno trusted Ki Hadjar Dewantara to become the first Minister of Education, Teaching and Culture. Through this position, Ki Hadjar Dewantara is increasingly free to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In 1957, Ki Hadjar Dewantara received an Honori Klausa Doctorate from Gajah Mada University.
• Two years after receiving the title of
Doctor Honoris Causa, on April 28, 1959, Ki Hadjar Dewantara died in Yogyakarta and was buried there. Now, the name Ki Hadjar Dewantara is not only immortalized as a figure and hero of education (the father of National Education) whose birth date is May 2 as National Education day, but is also designated as the Hero of the National Movement.
