Abstract
Designed as a response to the effects of globalization on
education in Indonesia, Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional
(SBI-International Quality School) is aimed at empowering students in tight global competition. It has been enthusiastically welcomed, particularly by parents, despite criticism on the use of English as the teaching-learning medium of particular subjects. As globalization is commonly
considered another form of colonialization, it should carry
similar characteristics to colonialism which Third World
countries like Indonesia are familiar with. Taking the
nation s experience as a colonized country into account,
this paper will utilize postcolonialism in examining SBI
to find out if it can really empower learners in global competition. This analysis reveals that SBI is a product of
globalization as well as a reflection of neocolonialism.
Keywords:
BI, colonization, globalization, education
