Raden Dewi Sartika is a fighter of women's emancipation or equality with Raden Ajeng Kartini. Women from Bumi Parahiyangan is no less cool than RA Kartini from Jepara, Central Java.
Both women are tough Indonesian pride is the same offspring of nobility in his time. When RA Kartini leaves a trail of emancipation in a book, Dewi Sartika bequeathed it in the form of a school that has grown up to now.
As written in the book Biography of National Hero Raden Dewi Sartika: The Pioneer of Yan Daryono's work, Dewi Sartika's talent teacher has been seen since he was young. Typically not waiting for adequate facilities just to start the action.
Once his mother returned to Bandung, West Java, from exile in Ternate, North Maluku, in 1902, Dewi Sartika returned to the city nicknamed Parijs van Java. His house at that time in Simpangsteg (now Jalan Simpang) located behind the official house Patih Bandung.
The difficulty of life is still wrapped around the life of Dewi Sartika. All his family possessions confiscated by the Dutch East Indies Colonial Government made his mother unable to do much to take care of his children properly.
In those days, people still thought that women were dependent on their husbands. Treatment is also felt differently when girls' education is lower and men are higher.
However, Dewi Sartika would not give up. He invites his female relatives to learn skills such as cooking, sewing and the like. He also taught read to write Malay and Dutch, including the knowledge he obtained while studying at Eerste Klasse School.
Slowly but surely, more and more people are interested in the teaching. Rewards from the teachings received by the girls, Dewi Sartika and her mother received basic assistance such as rice, salt, side dishes and others to meet the needs of life.
The activity of Dewi Sartika was known Dutch Dutch Colonial Government. A district inspector of Bandung Regency, Cornelis Den Hammer, came directly to witness the teaching done by Dewi Sartika.
Instantly, Dewi explained to the inspector that her activity was not official. The students are only 10 people who also come from their own families. Inspector had several times visited the study activities at the house of Dewi Sartika.
The man then offered Dewi Sartika to become Dutch school teacher Boemi Poetra. Dewi Sartika actually rejected the offer, instead expressed her intention to establish her own school.
The idea that makes Dewi Sartika reunited with the Regent of Bandung which was served by Raden Aria Duke Martanagara. Boldly Dewi reveals her plan to establish a Women's Skills School to the Bupati.
The Bupati supports the idea of Dewi Sartika. Until the date of January 16, 1904 established Sakola Istri who temporarily located in Paseban Wetan in Pendopo Dalem district of Bandung.
At the opening, Sakola Istri was the first and the first female school in Indonesia, followed by 60 female students. Dewi Sartika became a teacher accompanied by two teachers as well as her colleagues, Ms. Poerma and Mrs. Oewit.
A year after the opening of Sakola Istri, the interest of female students who register increased. This makes the study space in East Paseban is no longer adequate.
Dewi Sartika realized that the school can no longer accommodate many students. For that he was saved little by little in order to find a new place.
With a little savings, he pays a down payment to buy a place in Ciguriangweg which will be the location of Sakola Kaoetamaan Istri. The RAA Martanagara district head also contributed payments for construction and school construction costs.
In 1910, Sakola Wife was changed to Sakola Kautamaan Istri. Her husband, Raden Agyah Kanduruan Soeriawinata strongly supports his wife's wishes. Subjects were added, ie cooking lessons, washing, ironing and batik.
Dewi sartikah visit to RA Kartini's sister
Once upon a time, Dewi Sartika visited the house of RA Kardinah, the younger brother of RA Kartini in Kendal, Central Java. This visit is not a formality, but Dewi Sartika at the same time studying the science of batik which again taught to his students in Bandung.
In addition to the school, Kaoetamaan Istri society was also formed on 5 November 1910 by Priangan Resident, WFL Boissevain.
But for Dewi Sartika who also attended the inauguration, the event was none other than the curiosity of the colonial government that took advantage of the prestige of the school which at that time began to be widely known society. It was as if the colonial government was watching the fate of Sundanese education.
Since then, Dewi Sartika has changed the Sakola Wife's signboard to Sakola Kaoetamaan Istri. At the same time, in various areas of Priangan such as Sumedang, Garut, Tasikmalaya, Cianjur, Purwakarta and Sukabumi established Sakola Kaoetamaan Istri branch.
Only three years later, the number of students reached 251 school students. Where there are 12 study rooms with adequate facilities and professional teachers.
The Dutch East Indies colonial government presented a new building and the name Sakola Kaoetamaan Istri was announced to be Sakola Raden Dewi.
But on July 25, 1939, Raden Agah Soeriawinata passed away. Dewi Sartika was not discouraged in the middle of the road, she continued her task of educating women.
When the Dutch surrendered from Japan in March 1942, Sakola Raden Goddess was taken over by the military government of Samurai State, as well as changing the name of the school into School Girl No 29.
Not only Dewi Sartika, old teachers were also dismissed and replaced with teachers from the Land of the Rising Sun.
After the Bandung Api Ocean Fire on March 24, 1946, Raden Dewi Sartika and his family fled to Ciparay continued to Garut. Then evacuate to Ciamis to go to the slopes of Mount Cineam.
Dewi Sartika was severely ill and was forced to be treated at Cineam Hospital. He died on September 19, 1947 at the age of 63 years.
Meanwhile, the school was closed until it could be reopened by Raden Dewi Sartika Foundation in 1951. Several times this school also had changed its name since it was held by the foundation.
School of Lower Teachers (SGB) Puteri (1951), Girls' Nursery School (SKP) Dewi Sartika (1961), Vocational School of Princess (SKKP) and Dewi Sartika (1963). Currently the school has become SD and SMP Dewi Sartika, while the kindergarten is in different locations.
