Key Insights
Indonesia's HRD readiness is characterized by extensive policy frameworks supporting basic education rights and vocational education. However, implementation challenges persist due to coordination issues among government bodies, resulting in fragmented provision and financing. Efforts to promote vocational education face public stigma, and there is a need for better skills mapping to match industry demands. Inclusion-oriented education provisions exist, but barriers such as inadequate teaching staff and infrastructure, especially in remote areas, limit their effectiveness. Recognition of non-formal and informal learning is facilitated by the Indonesian Qualifications Framework, but there is no consensus on its application. Teacher training standards are in place, but incentives for teaching commitment are lacking. Public-private partnerships show commitment to HRD, but companies are selective in engagement, preferring reputable academic institutions over vocational ones. Overall, policies are well-designed, but practical barriers and a lack of incentives hinder HRD advancement in Indonesia.
