and is considered as the third largest education system in the

Asian region and the fourth largest in the world (behind only
the People’s Republic of China, India and the United States)

education system, with 84% of schools under the
Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) and the
remaining 16% under the Ministry of Religious Affairs
(MORA). Higher education is under the Ministry of
Research, Technology, and Higher Education.

National Education Budget
The proportion of spending on education by level of government and level
of education, Indonesia, 2009 (%)

(Al-Samarrai, S. (2013), Local Governance and Education Performance: A Survey of the Quality of Local
Education Governance in 50 Indonesian Districts, World Bank, Jakarta, Indonesia)


• National Law No. 20 / 2003: 20% of national budget for
education, higher than any other sector.

Education Sector Budget (2012)

• To overcome deficiencies of resources for teacher
education in rural areas, the strategy used by the
schools is use the BOS grant to employ additional
teachers rather than supporting existing teachers’
continuous professional training and purchasing
teaching aids and materials

Teacher and Teacher Education

teacher education are defined in the context
of Indonesia’s educational system. Related
national policies that support teacher
education development are cited.

Discuss the current status (2005-2015) and system of teacher education in your
country. Provide information about the agency that takes charge of teacher
education and the vision-mission and other guiding principles for teacher
education. What is the current teacher demand, supply and utilization (i.e.
national teacher recruitment trends, teacher shortages or surplus and
reforms/innovations undertaken? What is the present system in preparing and
developing teachers (i.e. recognized qualification frameworks (bachelor of
education degree/licensure examination, diploma options etc.)? What is the
difference between preparation and development in public and private higher
education institutions and their reforms or policy responses enacted to improve
teaching qualification routes (i.e. standards of teacher competencies, etc,)?
