This initiative was taken to give Indonesians a chance to have a better quality of education, hence, improving the quality of the country’s human resources. In 2012, the government started a scholarship program called LPDP to support Indonesian students who are accepted into either the leading national universities or the world's best-ranked universities. Selection to the national university now depends on secondary education achievement, giving a minimum weight of the average grade of report cards for all subjects.Īlthough the leading universities in Indonesia are dominated by state universities, for many Indonesians, the tuition fees are still relatively high.
Furthermore, the process for enrolling students at state universities has also undergone some changes in 2022. During this transitional period, report cards and independent school exams would be used for the graduation and university selection requirements. In 2021, Indonesia officially scrapped the national exams for the sixth, ninth, and twelfth graders, with plans to replace them with a new form of assessment in 2022 that focuses on character development and the learning environment of the pupils. Significant changes in Indonesia’s education system It was reported that Indonesia had one of the highest numbers of premium English-language international schools in the ASEAN region in 2018. In recent years, the market for international education qualifications has been growing in the nation. In comparison, fees for a mid-range international school usually start at 50 million Indonesian rupiah. When compared to international schools, private schools there can be more affordable, with school fees that start at around 15 million Indonesian rupiah per year.
Public schools in Indonesia are normally free of charge. While almost 90 percent of Indonesian primary schools are public, more than half of the high schools and 90 percent of the universities are private. Students who complete lower secondary education can enroll in either senior high school or vocational schools. Indonesians are required to complete twelve years of compulsory education, including six years of elementary education and three years each of lower-secondary and upper-secondary education. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology has primary responsibility for managing all levels of the education system.
