The quality of Indonesian education tends to decline in the last recent years. The results of study carried out by PISA on mathematics, natural sciences and language in 2009 and the study conducted in 2007 and 2011 by TIMSS on mathematics and natural sciences may justify this claim. PISA’s study uncovered that Indonesian students were only in level 3 (out of 6 levels). Whereas, TIMSS’ study revealed that around 95% of Indonesian junior high school students could only reach intermediate level (among five levels). The question is: what is wrong with our education? Unfortunately, we cannot precisely point out what the cause(s) is/are. The results of UKA and UKG held by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2012 may be the answer. The mean scores of the two tests were respectively lower than the passing grade of UN: 42.25 and 45.82. The low level mastery of the students on those subjects and the low level of teachers’ competence are believed to be correlated. If we want the quality of our students to be better, the quality of teachers must be developed. One of the ways of developing teachers’ professionalism is by reforming the way of teachers’ recruitment.
