Pengembangan Pendidikan Vokasi Industri Berbasis Kompetensi Pengembangan Pendidikan Vokasi Industri Berbasis Kompetensi Image not found or type unknown Jakarta - Sebagai upaya pemanfaatan sumber daya dalam rangka mengembangkan pendidikan vokasi berbasis kompetensi yang link and match dengan industri, Selasa (29/11) diadakan acara Penandatanganan Nota Kesepahaman Pengembangan Pendidikan Vokasi Industri Berbasis Kompetensi yang Link and Match dengan Industri yang dilakukan oleh lima kementerian. Mereka adalah Kementerian Perindustrian, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, Kementerian Riset, Tekonologi, dan Pendidikan Tinggi, Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan dan Kementerian BUMN. Hadir dalam acara tersebut Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian Darmin Nasution, Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan Puan MaharANI, Menteri Perindustrian Airlangga Hartarto, Menteri Badan Usaha Milik Negara Rini Soemarno, Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Hanif Dhakiri, Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Muhadjir Effendy dan Menteri Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi Mohamad Nasir. "Kita belum biasa dengan model pendidikan dan pelatihan vokasional ini. Maka dari itu masih banyak langkah-langkah yang yang perlu disiapkan, kelembagaan yang perlu ditata. Kita tidak bisa menunggu semuanya siap dulu baru mulai," ungkap Menko Perekonomian. Saat ini sebanyak 42,7% dari angkatan kerja dalam negeri hanya mengenyam pendidikan tingkat SD kebawah dan hanya sekitar 30% yang mencapai tingkat SMA ke atas. Tingkat pengangguran di Indonesia saat ini berjumlah 7,56 juta (6,18%) dengan tingkat pengangguran tertinggi pada lulusan pendidikan lulusan SMA sebanyak 2,28 juta (10,32%) dan lulusan SMK sebanyak 1,57 juta (12,65%). Angka ini menunjukkan pendidikan dan pelatihan di Indonesia tidak sinkron dengan kompetensi yang dibutuhkan oleh industri dan pada akhirnya menyebabkan daya saing tenaga kerja Indonesia cukup rendah. "Paling penting bukan hanya punya kompetensi tetapi juga harus mempunyai konektivitas di sektor tertentu seperti jasa. Jangan sampai pendidikan SMK tiga tahun baru dapat ijazah, terlalu mahal itu," tegas Darmin. Guna meningkatkan kualitas Tenaga Kerja Indonesia saat ini pemerintah sedang mempersiapkan program melalui Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Vokasi berbasis kebutuhan dunia industri. Program lain seperti harmonisasi dan sinkronisasi terhadap regulasi pendidikan vokasi juga terus didorong oleh pemerintah. Pasalnya Presiden Joko Widodo menetapkan target Global Competitiveness Index tahun 2017 masuk kedalam peringkat 40. Lebih lanjut, Darmin menekankan keterlibatan dunia industri sangat penting untuk mengurangi kesenjangan pekerja terampil. Pihak dunia industri dan dunia usaha dapat mengambil sejumlah peranan yang tentunya penting bagi pengembangan kualitas tenaga kerja Indonesia. “Kita harus mempunyai standar dari tamatan kita untuk menempati job (pekerjaan) yang baik,” tambahnya. Pada kesempatan yang sama, juga dilakukan Perjanjian Kerjasama SMK dengn Industri. Diantaranya PT Petrokimia Gresik dengan 7 SMK di wilayah Jawa Timur, PT Astra Honda Motor dengan 9 SMK dari Banten, Tangerang dan Sulawesi Selatan serta PT Polytama Propindo dengan 4 SMK di Indramayu dan Cirebon.

  • Backlash Against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’S Experience
    Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Dongsheng Zang, Chair John O. Haley Melissa Durkee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Herliana ii University of Washington Abstract Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dongsheng Zang School of Law This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market.
