RRP: Development Coordination Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth project (RRP INO 50395) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 1. The National Medium-Term Development Plan, 2015–2019, the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (MORTHE) strategic plan, 2015–2019, and the presidential decree on strengthening vocational education set out the directions to improve the quality and relevance of higher education.1 Aligned with these strategies, foreign financing was sought for upgrading and/or supporting universities, polytechnics, institutes, and other higher-education institutions. Development partners that are supporting higher education in Indonesia are the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Canada, Germany, Japan, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Switzerland, and the World Bank. The recent projects are summarized in Table 1. Most funding are for infrastructure provision, with Japan providing support to several top-tier universities, and IsDB providing support to universities under MORTHE and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The World Bank project supports capacity development in research and innovation.

The development of a tourism polytechnic in Lombok supported by Switzerland closely aligns with a technical cooperation project of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) that aims to improve the skills and employability of graduates by strengthening collaboration with employers in specific regions and fields. In addition, for an unrelated project the Saudi Development Fund plans to finance the upgrading of two universities in Jakarta and Bengkulu. 3. On top of the larger investment projects, several development partners are providing targeted technical assistance for higher education, such as financing for students, teachers, and management through exchange and scholarship programs; competitive research grants; and targeted training.2 B. Institutional Arrangements and Processes for Development Coordination 4. The Government of Indonesia carries out development partner coordination at three levels in the higher education subsector (i) The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS)— more specifically its Human Development, Society and Cultural Affairs Division, and its Development Funding Division—is the main agency responsible for national higher education planning. It coordinates development partner financing and decides which proposals from line ministries to approve for foreign financing; (ii) The MORTHE is the main ministry responsible for higher education policy, preparing project proposals for external funding to present to BAPPENAS, and implementing the projects; and (iii) The Ministry of Finance—more specifically 2 For example, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Switzerland), the United States Agency for International Development, and the Netherlands provide this kind of support. 3 the Loan and Grant Financing Department—considers financing from domestic or foreign funding sources. The Development Funding Division of BAPPENAS organizes quarterly meetings to monitor ongoing development-partner-supported projects; development partners and executing agencies are invited to present project progress and issues. 5. The development partners inform and coordinate among each other through the Skills Development Working Group, an informal coordination mechanism among the partners. ADB presented the project to this working group in May 2018 and received useful suggestions. ADB communicated separately with the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the World Bank, and IsDB—the partners involved in financing universities during project preparation—to coordinate and share lessons learned. 6. To support preparation of the RPJMN, 2020–2024 for the education sector, BAPPENAS requested support for an education sector review and background study from the Government of Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the World Bank, and ADB. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is coordinating. ADB is taking the lead in the review of higher education and, together with the German Organization for International Cooperation, for TVET. C. Achievements and Issues 7. The proposed ADB financing is fully aligned with the RPJMN, 2015–2019 and with the MORTHE’s strategic plan, 2015–2019. The MORTHE and BAPPENAS ensured that the design process does not overlap with ongoing and/or planned support from other development partners by selecting the participating universities. The MORTHE coordinated knowledge sharing with ongoing IsDB- and JICA-supported projects, and will use lessons learned from the proposed ADB project for future infrastructure projects. Coordination of development-partner support at the national level by BAPPENAS ensures that national-level priorities are met. The Skills Development Working Group provides added value as a platform for information sharing and coordination. Joint efforts to support BAPPENAS’ education sector review and background study for the RPJMN, 2020–2024 (para. 6) are a case in point. 8. The need for stronger coordination between TVET and higher education is becoming more evident, especially as the MORTHE, the Ministry of Education and Culture and other relevant ministries, and schools, universities, polytechnics and other education providers all aim to engage in a more comprehensive way with industry. D. Summary and Recommendations 9. The proposed project has a clearly defined boundary by focusing support at the four universities and contributing to priority areas as outlined in the RPJMN, 2015–2019 and the MORTHE’s strategic plan, 2015–2019. During project implementation, the MORTHE will guide the project activities to create synergies and add value. MORTHE will share lessons learned on infrastructure development among the different projects. The MORTHE and BAPPENAS will oversee the development of the medium-term higher-education investment plan under the RPJMN, 2020–2024. The MORTHE and the Ministry of Education and Culture will collaborate in developing the medium-term strategy to educate TVET teachers and, with support from BAPPENAS, will identify how to involve stakeholders. The Indonesia University of Education aims to develop its center of excellence for TVET-teacher education as a network organization, and will actively seek collaboration with partners, including development partners supporting skills development. .

  • Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: a Study from the Periphery
    Vol. 5, No. 9 Asian Social Science Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: A Study from the Periphery Sri Soejatminah (Doctoral student) School of Education, Deakin University 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, Victoria, Australia Tel: 61-3-9244-6237 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Globalisation as a global phenomenon has been influencing Indonesian Higher Education like other education systems in the world. Internationalisation in response to globalisation is a common feature in majority universities. It is also a feature of Indonesian Higher Education institutions, yet so far it seems that the way in which Indonesian higher education is responding to globalisation with internationalisation of its universities is not well reported. This paper aims to address this gap by examining relevant government papers, policies, research, reports and other documents available on line as well as at web sites of universities and other related web sites depicting how internationalisation has been conducted in Indonesian higher education. The paper attempts to reveal the perceived challenges of globalisation for Indonesian higher education and to what extent and in what form internationalisation has been achieved. Particularly, it will analyse the relation between policies and practices and identify barriers to internationalisation. However, it should be noted that this article is selective rather than comprehensive in reflecting on the internationalisation process in Indonesian higher education. Findings show that globalisation is perceived as a challenge requiring a response rather than as a threat to be dealt with. Many sources reflect that the government has been initiating and facilitating various programs to support internationalisation within the system. It appears that lack of capability at the institution level slows down the process.

  • The 3Rd ICOR 2018
    i IORA International Conference on Operations Research Manado, Indonesia, September 20-21, 2018 rd The 3 ICOR 2018 Operations Research (OR) had become powerful decision making tools worldwide. In its use, Management Science (MS) is used as another term for OR. Concept of OR is borderless as it can be derived from various discipline such as Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Marine Science, Social, etc. to make a new set of knowledge for decision making. Today, OR has become a professional discipline which deals with the application of scientific methods in decision making theory. The scope of OR can be used to find best solution for both simple and complex problem. It is beneficial in every aspect of human life regarding resources optimization. OR is widely used in important and main fields such as national planning and budgeting, transportation, education, agriculture, and marine management. Therefore, research and study involving OR are inevitable. Number of research and study about OR or using OR as tools is high these years. This is accommodated by Indonesian Operations Research Association (IORA) IORA as one of OR organisations in an annual international conference entitled International Conference on Operations Research (ICOR). ICOR 2018 is the third conference. This initiates to bring together OR/MS researchers, academicians and practitioners, whose collective work has sustained continuing OR/MS contribution to decision-making in many fields of application.
