Summary
Australia’s Education Partnership with Indonesia (the
Education Partnership) is currently the largest development assistance program
funded by the Australian Government anywhere in the world. Through the
Education Partnership Australia supports the Indonesian Government’s long-term
strategy to strengthen and consolidate its national education system, with a
particular focus on the current Indonesian five-year plan (2010 – 2014) and
support for the initial stages of the subsequent five-year plan (2015 – 2019).
The Education Partnership builds on the successes of previous Australian
Government support to the Indonesian education sector by strengthening
government systems. Under the Education

SSQ-supported components is national in scope, supporting existing government

for education personnel (ProDEP). Component 2 provides technical assistance to
the Ministry of Education and Culture (MoEC) and the Ministry of Religious
Affairs (MoRA) as they implement ProDEP to develop the capacity of principals,
supervisors and provincial and district education personnel. The body
responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Grant Agreement and its
activities is the Staff Development Technical Oversight Group.
ProDEP activities will be

the Development of Education Personnel (Pusbang Tendik) will be responsible for
