The Bookkeeping System Policy and Literacy Movement in Indonesia

Abstract

The paper aims to reveal the book system policy in Indonesia and the efforts made to increase interest in reading, including the movement undertaken to improve literacy in Indonesia. Identification and mapping have been executed through the regulatory survey method on the peraturan.go.id database, while slip and analysis have been exercised through content analysis. The paper provides empirical insights into the bookkeeping system and movement undertaken to improve literacy in Indonesia. National policies have supported the bookkeeping system in Indonesia. Meanwhile, to increase interest in reading, a literacy movement was initiated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on November 1, 2007, through the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 43 of 2007. Indonesia's literacy movement is "the national movement for reading fondness." This paper reveals that policy support at the national (state) level also needs to get help at the regional (local) level so that the literacy movement can be implemented up to the regional level. In addition, the central government's commitment is not only in the form of policy support but needs to be followed by several joint movements and incentives.
