Higher education must be seen as a primary need, not a tertiary need. However, Secretary of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research and Technology at the Ministry of Research and Technology, Tjitjik Sri Tjahjandarie, stated that education is a tertiary need in response to the issue of increasing tuition fees at state universities. Against this statement, Coordinator of the Indonesian Education Monitoring Network (JPPI) Ubaid Matraji believes that labeling higher education as a tertiary need is wrong. The statement harms people's feelings and minimizes the dreams of the nation's children to be able to study in college. The Chairman of the MPR, Zulkifli Hasan, emphasized that the progress of a country is dependent on the quality of its education and human resources. Therefore, many companies require applicants to be experts in various fields, one of the main requirements is to have a degree. Furthermore, deductive search results mention that there are 64.5% of companies that list GPA scores of more than 3.5 as applicant qualifications, 28.3% of companies still allow applicants to have a GPA of 3-3.4, and only 7.2% of companies are still willing to accept applicants with a GPA of 2.75. As an example, around April 28, 2024, Indonesian Railways (KAI Persero) opened job opportunities in various fields, one of the requirements is to have a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. In conclusion, Indonesia should prioritize education as a primary need for its citizens instead of saying college is a tertiary need amidst the news of rising tuition fees. Indeed, this will give a stigma among the public that the government seems to say college is not mandatory, while in the current era one of the main requirements for applying for a job is a degree.

Non-academic experiences and skills have become increasingly important in the professional world, often trumping the importance of academic achievements. Employers today place substantial emphasis on practical abilities, interpersonal skills, and real-world exposure that academic settings may not adequately cultivate. Extracurricular involvements, internships, and organizational roles during one's educational journey provide invaluable opportunities to hone essential soft skills like teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and communication – qualities that are highly prized in the workforce. These hands-on experiences not only demonstrate a well-rounded skill set but also highlight crucial attributes such as resilience, adaptability, and initiative, which are essential for dealing with the complexities of the professional world. Furthermore, non-academic pursuits foster networking opportunities and a deeper understanding of industry dynamics, equipping individuals with a competitive edge in the job market. While academic qualifications remain important benchmarks, it is the synergy of non-academic experiences, practical skills, and personal attributes that truly sets candidates apart and prepares them for the dynamic challenges of the professional world. In today's workplace, a strong foundation in academics provides the essential knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary to grasp complex concepts and navigate ever-evolving fields. When complemented by well-developed non-academic skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving honed through extracurricular activities and internships, this academic foundation offers the most effective preparation for professional success. Therefore, while academics provide a foundation, it is non-academic experiences that equip graduates with the practical skills and proactive mindsets employers seek. In today's fast-paced work environment, action trumps theory.

All cats must be loved because every cat deserves affection. These unique creatures possess characteristics that are worthy of our love and care. Despite their independence, cats can be more affectionate than many people realize, and each cat's unique personality brings joy to those around them. Loving cats offers numerous psychological and physical benefits. Psychologically, loving and interacting with cats has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. A 2002 study by Allen et al. indicated that loving cats can aid in stress recovery. Additionally, a 2015 study by Straede and Gates found that, in a survey of 92 cat owners and 70 non-cat owners, the cat owners “could be considered to have better psychological health than the non-pet subjects.” Physically, a study from the University of Minnesota Stroke Institute showed that the presence of a cat can lower resting heart rates and stress, reducing the risk of heart disease by 30% and heart attack by 40%. This is further supported by research published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, which found that hypertension is less prevalent among cat owners, suggesting they have healthier cardiovascular health. Moreover, the purring of a cat has been demonstrated to soothe pain and promote the healing of bones, tendons, and muscles. All cats deserve love, and loving a cat is not only an act of compassion but also a manifestation of the symbiotic relationship between humans and their pets.

Male students must not have short hair at school. According to "Pasal 80 ayat 1 UU Perlindungan Anak", every child has the right to enjoy freedom of expression and thought. Therefore, requiring male students to not have short hair at school is a violation of that right. Some parties may argue that such a rule is need to maintain discipline and neatness in the school environment. However, it should be noted that discipline and neatness do not always mean having to restrict students' self-expression. Instead, schools should provide space for students to express themselves as long as it does not disturb the teaching and learning process. Moreover, the provision of short hair for male students can also be considered discriminatory based on gender since it does not apply to female students. So, schools need to reconsider this rule and give freedom to male students to determine their own hairstyles.
