Ki Hajar Dewantoro
Ki Hajar Dewantoro, or his real name is Raden Mas Soewardi Soerjaningrat, was born on
May 2nd, 1889, in Yogyakarta. His father was called Pangeran Soerjaningrat, from Pakualam Palace,
Yogyakarta. As a part of an aristocratic family, Soewardi was quite free to enjoy his education. He had
studied in Europeesche Lagere School (Elementary School), Kweekschool, and School Tot Opleidong
Van Indische Artsen or STOVIA. He always thought that education was one of the most important
factors in freeing the Indonesian people of their sufferings from colonization. He took off his
aristocracy and changed his name to Ki Hajar Dewantara. He did that because he wanted to bring
himself closer to the people.
On July 13th, 1913, when he was 24 years old, Ki Hajar was arrested by Netherlands soldiers
because he made a publication about his article which was titled Als Ik Eens Nederlander Was (If I
Am A Netherlander) in De Express media. In this article, Ki Hajar Dewantara wrote that if he was a
Netherlander, he would give his colonies freedom. On July 3rd, 1922, Ki Hajar and with his friends in
Sloso Kliwonan Association, established the Taman Siswa. This school was opened to Indonesian
people who wanted to study.
When Japan colonized Indonesia, Ki Hajar Dewantara became a member of The Center of
Peoples Power (PUTERA). PUTERA was built by Japan to monitor dangerous people for Japan. Ki
Hajar did that on purpose, in order not to be suspected and to be free to move. When PUTERA
dispersed, Ki Hajar was chosen as a member of Naimuhu Bunkyonkyoku Sanyo. It is an educational
organization which was made by Japan.
He got appreciation as Bapak Pendidikan Indonesia because of his ideas in the world of
education. He was chosen also as Minister of Indonesian Education under President Soekarnos
administration. Ki Hajar Dewantara still tried to develop the educational system in Indonesia by his
brilliant ideas. When President Soeharto commanded, Ki Hajar Dewantara was bestowed as Bintang
Mahaputera. He was also called as a pioneer of the Indonesian Press. His birthday was celebrated as
Education Day (Hari Pendidikan Nasional). He passed away on April 26th, 1959. His wife, Nyi
Sutartinah, collected things which had been used by Ki Hajar and his family. There were about 3000
things, and then they were put at Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum, Yogyakarta.
