In 2020, the pandemic resulted in the immediate closure of 530,000 schools and a rapid shift to distance learning for 68 million students. The pandemic brought forward many digital learning innovations and investment in education technology (EdTech), but it also widened existing inequities in education for many children. Many low-income students and teachers do not have digital devices or skills required for home-based learning.1 In 2020, 67 per cent of teachers reported difficulties in operating devices and using online learning platforms.2 Children with disabilities are worst affected as many have been unable to access services required for their personalized learning.3 It is estimated 4.4 million children and adolescents aged 7–18 years are still out of school and only 55 per cent of children from poor families are enrolled in secondary school.4,5 The World Bank estimates that the pandemic-induced income losses for families could lead to 91,000 children dropping out of school in Indonesia.6 Indonesia’s vast archipelago results in infrastructural constraints and poor Internet connectivity for many students and teachers in rural and remote areas.7 Four out of five Internet users in Indonesia live in Java and Sumatra.8 1 Yarrow, Noah, and Riaz Bhardwaj, ‘Indonesia’s education technology during COVID-19 and beyond’, World Bank, 19 May 2020, <https:// blogsworldbank.org/eastasiapacific/indonesias-education-technology-during-COVID-19-and-beyond> 2 Yarrow, Noah; Masood, Eema; Afkar, Rythia., ‘Estimated impacts of COVID-19 on learning and earning in Indonesia: How to turn the tide’, World Bank, 2020, <http://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/184651597383628008/pdf/Main-Report.pdf> 3 Gupta, Deepali and Khairina, Noviandri N., ‘COVID-19 and the learning inequities in Indonesia: Four ways to bridge the gap.

Following a desk review and expert interviews, the findings were validated by conversations with students, teachers and parents from Papua, East Java, West Sulawesi, Central Palu, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and West Java. This research brief presents the study’s findings and practical recommendations for the following three actions: ÌÌ Strengthen digital learning content and platforms. ÌÌ Develop digital skills of students and teachers. ÌÌ Expand digital connectivity in schools across the country. UNICEF’s Reimagine Education global initiative aims to upgrade digital learning content and strengthen digital skills among students and teachers.10 Fostering partnerships across public and private sectors – and with young people themselves – is the only way to do this. UNICEF is calling for: 1. The most vulnerable children and young people to be prioritised in getting connected and gaining access to quality digital learning. 2. Digital learning to be relevant to each individual child and young person, including their level of education and language, and is accessible for children with disabilities. 3. Education funding to be protected and for the needs of the most vulnerable children and young people to be prioritised. 4. Decision-makers to maximise innovation, impetus and investment through cross- community collaborations involving governments, businesses, community groups, industry pioneers and more. 9 This research brief was based on the UNICEF-commissioned report ‘Situational Analysis on Digital Learning Landscape in Indonesia’, compiled by Quicksand Design Studio in 2020. 10 UNICEF Reimagine Education Initiative, <https://www.unicef.org/reimagine/education> 2 ACTION 1 STRENGTHEN DIGITAL LEARNING CONTENT AND PLATFORMS Key findings There is limited uptake of online education platforms by students and teachers due to lack of awareness and perceptions of low quality. The pandemic has led to an upsurge in the number and use of education platforms. However, many teachers have not integrated these platforms into their teaching. In a survey, 57 per cent of students are unaware of government-provided Rumah Belajar platform, while both students and teachers complain about the quality of the platform compared to private EdTech platforms.11 Social media platforms and conferencing applications are more popular than EdTech for digital learning. Facebook, WhatsApp, and LINE; and conferencing applications Google-meet and Zoom are the most popular choices for communication and sharing teaching assignments. They are easier to use, affordable and do not require high Internet speed. "I use WhatsApp and messenger only because those apps don’t require a strong internet “ connection, and many of my students live in rural and mountainous areas with bad internet connection." - Teacher, aged 25, Mamuju District, West Sulawesi Private EdTech platforms typically target university or final-year school students and private schools. One in four EdTech firms were found to be exclusively targeting private sector education providers.12 The EdTech market is concentrated in Jakarta. "I have four school going children, and I have never heard of any EdTech platform. Anything “ related to purchasing a mobile and paying for an internet voucher must be expensive." - Parent, Alor Kecil District, East Nusa Tenggara Distribution of Edtech firms by geographical penetration of their products 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Bali Riau Other Jambi Papua Banten Maluku D.I. Aceh Overseas East Java Lampung Bengkulu Gorontalo West Java West D.K.I Jakarta Central Java West Sumatra West D.I.

Private EdTech platforms do not have any adaptations for students with disabilities. There is limited outreach and support for their specialized digital learning needs. The shift of education outside the classroom has led to challenges for monitoring teaching and learning performances. Difficulties in monitoring children when learning from home has resulted in a fall in learning outcomes, and students dropping out of school. In 2020, many students and parents said that they did not receive feedback from teachers on assignments or exams.13 With limited digital skills, teachers are unable to monitor students’ learning or communicate effectively.14 Students reported putting less effort into assignments, not being able to understand learning materials and ‘cheating’ by using Google or asking family to complete assignments.15 Distance learning reduces social interaction, student well-being and engagement between students and teachers, particularly in rural areas with poor Internet connectivity. Children reported feeling anxious due to the sudden shift to digital learning. Online education is also a potential risk to students’ safety and well-being by exposing them to inappropriate content, cyberbullying and sexual grooming. There is low awareness and knowledge of digital safety, increasing vulnerability to cybercrimes.16 "Some teachers give too many assignments during online learning, it is hard to manage all “ the work together, also we have no support for all the work, it is difficult to manage it all alone." - Student, aged 14, Jember City, East Java Recommendations Encourage greater community awareness and uptake of digital learning and EdTech platforms. ÌÌ Create social media campaigns on how digital learning platforms can improve learning outcomes, in partnership with social media companies. ÌÌ Raise awareness on how families can access Internet plans, quotas and hardware through

  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

  • SUMMARY Gorontalo Provincial Development Reportx
    SUMMARY Gorontalo Province Development Report: Planning with Human Development Index Introduction The report was done collaboratively by two governement agencies —Bappenas, and Gorontalo Province— with the support of UNDP. It aims to be a strategic input for development planning, implementation, budgeting, and monitoring as well as an effort for improving human development index (HDI) in Gorontalo Province. This report identifies 15 sub-districts that have lower scores than the Province’s score and need more policy interventions. Rationales behind this report are: • Poverty is still persistent and prevalent in the province. • There hasn’t been a comprehensive HDI-based development report at the provincal level —it is the first provincal-level HDI report that provides some lessons that may be applicable to other provinces in developing such a report. Key Findings • Concept and Human Development Measurement Human development is a multi-dimensional framework of development linking economic, education, and health dimensions with external environment development conditions, namely natural, social, and global environment. Human development progress in economic, education and health dimensions is captured through the Human Development Index (HDI). This is a measure combining income per capita, literacy, and life expectancy into an aggregated index. The basic challenge to improve this index is the capacity to increase the quality of development outcomes in the sectors that directly support HDI as well as other related sectors. • Gorontalo Human Development The quality of human development is still a lingering issue in the central and local government development agendas. Despite all the progresses that have been achieved, Gorontalo still faces a lot of challenges in human development arena, and its overall achievement in human development is behind other provinces.

Some of the remote villages have not yet been reached and therefore the balance could become worst. ● Several discussions are ongoing in the International Community on the Tsunami Early Warning System that either did not work or was however unable to save lives. BMKG provided details on the system working conditions but some of the choices still need some clarification. ● There is not yet a clear general overview of the Tsunami impact occurred in the area; two cities are largely mentioned in the media (Palu and Donggala) but a clear extended mapping is still ongoing. Copernicus and International Charter have been activated and are providing important information on this point.
