Indonesia is a Tier one priority country in the East Asia region. Furthermore, Internationalising Higher Education is a priority area. However, Trans National Education partnerships, academic collaboration and student mobility between Indonesia and UK lag behind that of most neighbouring countries in terms of scale, volume and impact. Following the visit of the Prime Minister and Universities Minister in April 2012 and the revival of the UK-Indonesia Partnership Forum with Education as a key strand, we are committed to up-scaling our programme.
Recently, the level of activity has increased dramatically as UK tertiary education institutes increasingly recognising the importance of collaboration with Indonesia and in line with a renewed push by both the Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education and the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs to increase the quality of tertiary education institutes, downstreaming research, increasing publication in international journals and citations, increasing the number of PhDs etc.
