Coordination Scope of the responsibilities

It is imperative to come to an agreement or a common understanding on terminology across the education and training sectors for further discussion and implementation of the qualifications
framework in Indonesia. It is proposed that the IQB could take a prominent role in consulting with relevant ministries and providing public documentation of agreed terms.
In Indonesia, the Presidential Decree 82012outlines the level descriptors but does not provide any other advice in relation to qualifications. A review of regulations from the MoEC indicates that in the
other component parts of a framework are mostly included for higher education. Whether similar documents are developed by the ministry responsible for manpower is less clear. To promote
transparency of the IQF and to avoid a mix of qualification types and descriptors, definitions and application of certification, the IQB should be responsible for developing overarching national policy
directly related to the IQF, including national policy on:
• qualifications including component parts e.g., qualification types, qualification types descriptors including the volume;
• recognition of prior learning; • certification, including naming conventions and use of the IQF logo;

• international referencing activities; and • education and training definitions.
The relevant regulations documented by MoEC could be ’co-opted’ as IQB level documents on agreement from MoM and other ministries, and it needs to be published as one document. Relevant line
ministries could still develop additional specific requirements as long as they are not conflicting with the national policy.
