The Madani Research Centre (MRC) emphasizes a data-driven approach to address the Ministry of Education's call for public input on Malaysia's new education plan. Key strategies include impact assessment of public feedback, comparative analysis with global models, evidence-based curriculum reforms, stakeholder engagement, and long-term educational impact assessments. MRC aims to support inclusive, effective education reforms aligned with national development goals. One of MRC's recommendation is on continuous curriculum reforms: Adopting flexible and competency-based curricula that emphasize critical thinking, digital literacy, and STEM education. Integrating interdisciplinary studies and real-world applications will prepare students for a dynamic and evolving job market. #EducationReform #DataDrivenPolicy #StakeholderEngagement #GlobalBestPractices #LongTermImpact #MRC #MalaysiaEducation

Education is our foundation for growth!

meriSTEM@NIE is excited to partner with The Head Foundation, Temasek Foundation, Caterpillar Foundation and Prestasi Junior Indonesia in the STEM teacher capacity building programme for 110 teachers in Riau Island and 50 teachers in Bogor, Indonesia. The teacher participants suggested interesting ideas for problem-centric integrated STEM lessons with "T" as the emphasis in the STEM curriculum to develop students' digital literacy. Many of these ideas are culturally relevant. Perhaps a fourth centricity of the S-T-E-M Quartet can be "Culture-Centric"! #TheHeadFoundation

https://lnkd.in/gNg7aTnV Transforming Indonesia's Higher Education Landscape: New Insights Recently (2023), the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies published a policy brief highlighting persistent challenges and new opportunities in Indonesia's higher education sector: Key challenges: • Low tertiary education participation rate (31.2% in 2021) • Only 4 Indonesian universities in the QS World University Rankings Top 500 • Just 3.65% of accredited universities have an A rating Root causes include: • Limited research output • Only 14.5% of academics hold PhD degrees • Poor fundamental skills among students • Funding constraints and governance issues Despite government initiatives like research endowment funds and international collaboration programs, progress has been limited. A promising development: Indonesia now allows foreign universities to establish campuses, especially in Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Policy recommendations: 1. Integrate foreign campuses into national higher education programs 2. Promote collaborations between foreign and local institutions 3. Enhance local academics' capacity for global engagement 4. Improve human resources in local universities This comprehensive approach could leverage international partnerships to significantly boost Indonesia's higher education quality. I see chances! #HigherEducation #Indonesia #InternationalCollaboration #EducationPolicy

Openness to foreign higher education institutions can provide significant benefits to local education systems. By allowing reputable foreign universities to establish campuses, countries can elevate their educational standards through exposure to diverse teaching methodologies, advanced research capabilities, and global best practices. This not only enhances the quality of education but also makes the country more attractive to international students, fostering a multicultural academic environment. Malaysia has successfully adopted this approach, attracting top-tier foreign universities that contribute to its educational landscape. For instance: 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮: This is the first British university to establish a full-fledged branch campus in Malaysia. It offers programs identical to those at its UK campuses, ensuring high-quality education and research opportunities. The presence of such a prestigious institution helps raise the overall standards of Malaysian higher education. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮: As a branch of Monash University in Australia, this campus offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Monash University Malaysia brings world-class education and research capabilities to the region, enhancing the local academic environment and providing opportunities for local students to receive an internationally recognized degree without leaving the country. By following Malaysia's example, Indonesia can similarly benefit from inviting foreign universities to establish campuses. This could lead to improvements in educational quality, increased research collaboration, and greater international recognition for local institutions. _________________________________________________ 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. _________________________________________________ 📝 𝗬𝗼𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝗶, Education Enthusiast #HigherEducation #GlobalCampus #EducationExcellence #AcademicGrowth #InternationalEducation #EducationInnovation

Reflecting on my whirlwind 24-hour trip to Indonesia as a first-time visitor, my primary motivation was to address a lingering question that has occupied my thoughts for some time. Consider this: Vietnam, with a population of 100 million, sent approximately 2,250 students to the United States in 2023. However, Indonesia, boasting a population of around 280 million, only dispatched about 100 students. This stark contrast piqued my curiosity, prompting me to delve deeper into the matter. Here are some key insights gained from discussions with local experts: 1. Secondary education in Australia reigns supreme, attracting roughly 40% of Indonesian students, compared to a mere 10% opting for the United States. Think about these facts: Australia is just 3 hour away with direction flights, and approximately 25% cheaper than US. 2. The United States is viewed through a lens of apprehension due to its recent political climate, instances of gun violence, and perceived societal polarization. These factors weigh heavily in decision-making processes, often overshadowing traditional considerations such as academic requirements and program offerings. Despite these revelations, I remain eager to explore this topic further. I believe there is more to uncover, and I am keen to hear diverse perspectives that might offer a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying dynamics at play. Thanks Anton Reshetnyak and Timofey from Begin Group for hosting me in Indonesia.
