Badan
Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa is a supporting element in the Ministry of
Education and Culture of Indonesia (Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan
Republik Indonesia) which generally has
the duty and function of developing and protecting in the field of
Language and Literature. In carrying out its duties, Badan Pengembangan dan
Pembinaan Bahasa is assited by 22 Technical Implementation Units, commonly
called Balai Bahasa. Balai Bahasa spread throughout all provinces in Indonesia.
In Riau Province, there is one Technical Implemetation Unit that located at
Campus Bina Widya, Universitas Riau, Panam, Pekanbaru.
Based
on decision of Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Repulik Indonesia number
226/01/1999 dated 23 September 1999, established 14 additional Technical
Implementation Units, one of them is Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau. The duties and
core functions of Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau itself are the same as those of
other Balai Bahasa that have been determined by Badan Pengembangan dan
Pembinaan Bahasa. One of Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau’s Annual Program is the
Indonesian Language Week or Pekan Bahasa, which has many competitions such as
Speech Contest for Junior High School students, Cerdas Cermat Contest and
Indonesia Language Debate for Senior High School students, Host Contest for
employees, Teaching Contest for Elementary’s teachers, and Language’s
Ambassador (Duta Bahasa) for teenagers. Other program is Linguistic Seminars,
such as Language Seminars for Mass Media, The Intoduction of EBI (Ejaan Bahasa
Indonesia), and also The Coordination and Consolidation of Program of Balai
Bahasa Provisi Riau.
In
2015, The Coordination and Consolidation of Program of Balai Bahasa Provinsi
Riau had resulting in 68 proposed program proposals that will be persued by
Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau. Some of them are Sastrawan Ke Sekolah, Sastrawan
Masuk Kampung, Penelitian Sastra Melayu Tulisan, the obligatory activity of
reading Indonesian Literature Book for student before finishing their studies,
and Napak Tilas Sejarah bagi Penulis Riau ke Situs-Artefak Bersejarah in Riau
Province.
There
are so many programs that have been and will be implemented by Balai Bahasa
Provinsi Riau, but 11 billion budget per year disbursed by the Central
Government is considered insufficient to implement all existing programs. So,
Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau needs to corporate with other institutions in Riau
such as Lemabaga Adat Melayu Riau, Dinas Pendidikan, Dinas Kebudayaan dan
Pariwisata, Pusat Penelitian Pembangunan, and also the Government of Riau
Province.
Although
Balai Bahasa Provinsi Riau is a structured body from the Central Government, we
as Riau Society should participate in escorting and supporting the programs
launched by Balai Bahas Provinsi Riau for the better developing and protecting
Indonesian and Malay Language.
