Abstract

-The role of language in the era of social change allows discourse to contain a variety of hidden agendas. So does the speech of government officials who did not escape the public spotlight. This research is aimed to explain the representation of education and positioning of the government in the speech of the Minister of Education and Culture of Republic of Indonesia on the National Education Day, May 2nd, 2018. The method used is a critical discourse analysis model analysis framework Rodger Fowler which is focused on the word level. The result of the research shows that the speech of the Minister of Education and Culture of Republic of Indonesia on the ceremony of National Education Day, May 2, 2018, reflects the role of government in promoting education and education relation with culture through classification vocabulary, view restriction, discourse battle, and marginalization. The government is represented in an elevated position for efforts and policies to advance Indonesia's education through (1) classifying the government as an actor or a caring party to education in Indonesia, (2) limiting public views on efforts and policies undertaken by the government in advancing education, and (3) a discourse contest that puts the government in an active role in advancing Indonesian education.
