Indonesian Government Focuses on Improving National Education Quality
The Indonesian government is currently drafting a major plan to improve the national education system. This step was taken after the 2025 PISA assessment results placed Indonesia in sixth position among Southeast Asian countries. These results serve as an important note for the government to conduct a thorough evaluation of the quality of learning in schools.
One of the main focuses of this plan is the development of a more inclusive and equitable public school concept. The government wants to ensure that every child in every corner of Indonesia gets access to decent education. In addition, strengthening vocational education is a priority so that school graduates are better prepared to enter the industrial workforce directly.
Teacher welfare is also a major concern in this new policy. The government realizes that prosperous and competent teachers are the key to improving the quality of education. Therefore, various capacity-building programs and improvements to the teacher remuneration system are being prepared so that educators can teach with more focus and enthusiasm.
These strategic steps are expected to improve Indonesia's education ranking in the future. With synergy between the right curriculum, adequate facilities, and quality teachers, Indonesia is optimistic about being able to compete with neighboring countries in the field of education. This change is expected to have a positive impact on the progress of human resources in the country.
