ABOUT THE REPORT
There are more students in Indonesia than there are people in Spain, but more than half perform below minimum levels in mathematics and reading. Progress is being made, but more is needed. This report analyses Indonesia’s education landscape, and identifies opportunities for philanthropists to focus their efforts and bring about change for the better.
FOUR AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY
Our report highlights four areas with potential for catalysing effective change
Teaching in Indonesia suffers from poor perception, limited career opportunities and relatively low salaries. As such it represents low hanging fruit for change.
Strong leadership in a school can transform the performance of teachers and their students. Rethinking the role of school Principals offers exciting potential.
Indonesia’s education system needs to plug the skills gap if the country is to achieve its economic growth targets. Vocational training should be part of the solution.
Targeting pre-school children is one of the most cost-effective methods of improving outcomes, but there are barriers that must be overcome first.
