Ridder Orde Van Oranje is the
appreciation title from Dutch Colonial means merit sign star for one of
personage Muhammadiyah, he is Kyai Haji Hisyam. He was valued deserving well of
Indonesia society in education development. In Kyai Haji Hisyam period,
Muhammadiyah has so fast developing, in the end of 1932, Muhammadiyah has 103
Volkschool, 47 Standaardschool, 69 Hollands Inlandse School (HIS), and 25
Schakelschool, that is a five years school that
will devotail to MULO (Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs, equivalent with Junior
High School today) from the student who graduate from Vervolgschool or
Standaardschool class V. All that Muhammadiyah school use dutch language as the
introduction language. Muhammadiyah school on that era being education
institute for autochthonous that can compete with dutch school developing,
Katolik, and Protestan school.
Kyai Haji Hisyam was born
in Kauman Yogyakarta on 10 November 1883 and died on 20 Mei 1945. Even he did
not fell the liberty days on 17 Agustus 1945, he has many contribution for
Indonesia freedom. He is the third leader of Muhammadiyah. He was chose and
established as the leader of Muhammadiyah in the 23 Muhammadiyah congress at
Yogyakarta 1934. He is one of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan direct student, and also
prominent abdi dalem Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat. On 1935, he was chose again as
the leader of Muhammadiyah in the 24 Muhammadiyah congress at Banjarmasin. In the
25 Muhammadiyah congress at Batavia (Jakarta), he was chose again as the leader
of Muhammadiyah. Just three times he taken hold of Muhammadiyah leader.
In Kyai Haji Hisyam
period, the orderliness of administration and management are good. He is more
focuse in education and teaching developing, not only religion education but
also public education such as in dutch school. It can be seen from his children
education. Two his sons studied being a teacher, called a bevoegd and be a
teacher in HIS Met de Qur’an Muhammadiyah Kudus and Yogyakarta. One of his son
graduate from Hogere Kweekschool in Purworejo, and one his son graduate from
Europese Kweekschool in Surabaya. Both of school were built by Dutch colonial
government for the next teacher who will teach in HIS Gubernemen.
In Kyai Haji Hisyam
period, Muhammadiyah has open the elementary school three years (volkschool or
vilage school) after manner of rules and regulations such as in volkschool
gubernemen. After it, was open also Muhammadiyah vervolgschool as the
continuance. That is the reason why after it many Muhammadiyah volkschool and
vervolgschool in Indonesia, especially Jawa. When Dutch colonial government
open standaardschool, that is six years school, Muhammadiyah also open a school
like it to. Moreover, Muhammadiyah was build Muhammadiyah Hollands Inlandsche
School Met de Qur’an for make a compete or effort as like as Katolik society
that was built Hollands Inlandsche School Met de Bijbel.
Kyai Haji Hisyam always
thinks about how Muhammadiyah education not defeated from Dutch colonial
government education. He thinks in order that autochthonous if want study not
only must go to Dutch colonial government school, Indonesia also have school
for study. Even it should fulfill many difficult rules and regulations, in the
end Muhammadiyah school got confession and similarity from Dutch colonial
government.
In
developing of Muhammadiyah education, Kyai Haji Hisyam make a cooperation with
Dutch colonial government that Muhammadiyah prepared get financial assistance
from Dutch colonial government, even the total just a little and not equal with
government helping to Kristen schools at that time. From that case is the
reason Kyai Haji Hasyim and Muhammadiyah get a poignant stricture from Taman
Siswa and Syarikat Islam at that time leveled against non-cooperative politics.
However, Kyai Haji Hisyam has a mind of own that government subsidy is the tax
that was took from Indonesia society, especially Islam society. With that
subsidy, Muhammadiyah can use it for develop Muhammadiyah education that in the
end also can develop and brought up Indonesia. Accept that subsidy is better
than refuse, because if that subsidy refusing, so that subsidy will be shift to
the Dutch colonial government school and only make a strong Dutch colonialisme
position.
We
can take the conclution and lesson from this Muhammadiyah personage. Kyai Haji
Hisyam has an amazing dream and big effort to make Indonesia better, to make
Indonesia did not defeated from Dutch colonial government. He focuses in one
case, education. From that focus, he gets the appreciation from Dutch colonial
government. He has a good knowladge in religion, religion is the pondation for
any things in our life.
