S2 and S3 Graduates Ratio Loses to Malaysia, President Urges LPDP Scholarship Recipients to Increase 5 Times

Dream - President Joko Widodo urges the number of recipients of scholarships from the Education Fund Management Agency (LPDP) to be increased by at least five times. Currently, the number of scholarship recipients is considered to be very insufficient.

"The number of scholarship recipients has also increased 7-fold since the LPDP was opened, but this is still far, still very inadequate. I think it needs to be increased at least 5 times from what it is now."

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "words of Jokowi at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Indonesian Rectors Forum in Surabaya, Monday, January 15, 2024 quoted from Liputan6.com."

Jokowi stated that the education funds disbursed from the state budget (APBN) from 2009 to 2024 amounted to Rp6,400 trillion. Meanwhile, the total funds for LPDP scholarships disbursed only reached Rp139 trillion during the period of 2009-2023. "If we look at the APBN for education from 2009-2024, it means that in 15 years it reached Rp6,400 trillion. The permanent fund of LPDP was initially Rp1 trillion when it was opened. Now, as of 2023, it has reached Rp139 trillion," he explained.

Jokowi realizes that a large budget is needed to increase the number of recipients of LPDP scholarships. However, this effort must be made in order to improve the ratio of highly educated population to the productive population.

"Once again, it requires a large budget and substantial financing, but it remains our obligation to find a way to lift our ratio up."
tutur Jokowi.

Former Governor of DKI Jakarta also stated that the ratio of Indonesian population with a postgraduate degree (S2) and doctoral degree (S3) is still very low. Indonesia is at 0.45 percent, far below Vietnam and Malaysia at 2.43 percent. Furthermore, he said that the ratio of highly educated population to the productive population in Indonesia is significantly lower compared to advanced countries, which are at 9.8 percent.

"Indonesia is at 0.45 percent. 0.45 percent. Our neighboring countries, Vietnam and Malaysia, are already at 2.43 percent. Developed countries are at 9.8 percent. It's very far behind,"
"ujar Jokowi" translates to "said Jokowi" in English.

Seeing the conditions, Jokowi emphasized the need to take policy measures to improve the ratio, emphasizing the importance of quality human resources (SDM).

"I don't know where the budget will come from, but we will find it so that S2, S3 towards the productive age population can really increase drastically, very far apart 0.45 and 2.43."
