Kita perlu belajar dari institusi yang telah mapan dan unggul (diambil beberapa contoh):

Harvard University Massachusets Institute of Technology California Institute of Technology The University of Tokyo

Harvard University
A Harvard education is a liberal education that is, an education conducted in a spirit of free inquiry undertaken without concern for topical relevance or vocational utility. This kind of learning is not only one of the enrichments of existence; it is one of the achievements of civilization. It heightens students' awareness of the human and natural worlds they inhabit. It makes them more reflective about their beliefs and choices, more self-conscious and critical of their presuppositions and motivations, more creative in their problem-solving, more perceptive of the world around them, and more able to inform themselves about the issues that arise in their lives, personally, professionally, and socially. College is an opportunity to learn and reflect in an environment free from most of the constraints on time and energy that operate in the rest of life.

MIT
MIT is a research university committed to world-class inquiry in math, science and technology - but you may be surprised to learn that we require more liberal arts courses than many liberal arts institutions. All MIT undergraduates, regardless of major, must complete the following requirements in order to graduate: 9 subjects in Math, Science & Technology: Mathematics 2 subjects, Physics 2 subjects, Biology 1 subject, Chemistry 1 subject , Lab Requirement 1 subject, Restricted Electives 2 subjects, 8 subjects in Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences: Distribution Requirement 3 subjects, Concentration Requirement 3-4 subjects, Electives 1-2 subject s. In addition, students must satisfy the requirements of their major, the communication requirement, and the physical education.

CalTech
A Caltech education requires not just the depth of an option (major), but also considerable breadth in basic science, humanities, and social science. Caltechs core curriculum prepares students for the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary research in science and technology and positions Caltech graduates for leadership roles in academia and industry. Significant study in the humanities and social sciences is an important component of Caltechs core curriculum, giving our alumni the ability to navigate the societal, political, and economic factors that influence (and are influenced by) their work.

U-Tokyo
The 21st century is an era in which we are rediscovering the importance of liberal arts education. Environmental problems on a global scale, issues concerning the development of environment-friendly forms of energy to replace fossil fuels, ethnic conflicts and human security, all these issues are so complex that they can not be solved with the vertically divided academic disciplines of the past. Now is the time where human resources with a comprehensive outlook and the qualifications to solve difficult problems are needed. Since its founding in 1949 the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo has implemented liberal arts education based on the principle of late specialization, which allows students to choose their specialization after they have acquired a broad education and become aware of their aptitudes.

Perlukah SainsTeKes untuk kita semua?

Science affects us all, every day of the year, from the moment we wake up, all day long, and through the night. Your digital alarm clock, the weather report, the asphalt you drive on, the bus you ride in, your decision to eat a baked potato instead of fries, your cell phone, the antibiotics that treat your sore throat, the clean water that comes from your faucet, and the light that you turn off at the end of the day have all been brought to you courtesy of science.

The modern world would not be modern at all without the understandings and technology enabled by science.
http://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/0_0_0/whathassciencedone_01

To make it clear how deeply science is interwoven with our lives, just try imagining a day without scientific progress. Just for starters, without modern science, there would be:

no way to use electricity.

From Ben Franklin's studies of static and lightning in the 1700s, to Alessandro Volta's first battery, to the key discovery of the relationship between electricity and magnetism, science has steadily built up our understanding of electricity, which today carries our voices over telephone lines, brings entertainment to our televisions, and keeps the lights on.

no plastic.
The first completely synthetic plastic was made by a chemist in the early 1900s, and since then, chemistry has developed a wide variety of plastics suited for all sorts of jobs, from blocking bullets to making slicker dental floss.

no modern agriculture.
Science has transformed the way we eat today. In the 1940s, biologists began developing highyield varieties of corn, wheat, and rice, which, when paired with new fertilizers and pesticides developed by chemists, dramatically increased the amount of food that could be harvested from a single field, ushering in the Green Revolution. These science-based technologies triggered striking changes in agriculture, massively increasing the amount of food available to feed the world and simultaneously transforming the economic structure of agricultural practices.

no modern medicine.
In the late 1700s, Edward Jenner first convincingly showed that vaccination worked. In the 1800s, scientists and doctors established the theory that many diseases are caused by germs. And in the 1920s, a biologist discovered the first antibiotic. From the eradication of smallpox, to the prevention of nutritional deficiencies, to successful treatments for once deadly infections, the impact of modern medicine on global health has been powerful. In fact, without science, many people alive today would have instead died of diseases that are now easily treated.

Conclusion
Scientific knowledge can improve the quality of life at many different levels from the routine workings of our everyday lives to global issues. Science informs public policy and personal decisions on energy, conservation, agriculture, health, transportation, communication, defense, economics, leisure, and exploration. It's almost impossible to overstate how many aspects of modern life are impacted by scientific knowledge.
