"Dream - Jokowi regrets that there are no universities in Indonesia that make it into the top 100 in the world. Universities in Indonesia can only make it into the top 200 in the world, and only a few domestic universities make it into the top 200 in the world."

In front of the rectors, Jokowi requested that the rankings of higher education institutions in Indonesia continue to be improved and optimized. "Domestic higher education institutions must be continuously encouraged, must be optimized. The rankings of the best higher education institutions in Indonesia must be continuously improved based on the US World rankings that are available every year," said Jokowi.

"He also reminds that higher education institutions have a very strategic role in producing excellent and quality human resources (HR). Moreover, Indonesia will enter a demographic bonus in the next 5 years, where the number of productive-age population will increase. Jokowi wants Indonesian HR not only to master knowledge, but also to be innovative and produce high-quality works."

"I repeat, colleges also have a noble duty which is to become research institutions because they have a large number of lecturers, researchers, and thousands of students for the development of science and technology, and to innovate in solving the nation's problems," concluded Jokowi.
