[UPDATE]: Profiles of Speakers THES 2011

Indonesian Higher Education is at the forefront of many international and national agenda. This is seen by:

  • Indonesia as the fourth most populous nation in the world, with over 240 million people, the third largest democracy and the most Muslim-populated country has had over 6 percent GDP growth in most of the recent years
  • The Indonesian ‘demographic bonus’ from now to 2035, as recognized by Professor Faslil Jalal, Vice Minister of National Education, Republic of Indonesia
  • There are estimated 21,170,300 Indonesians aged 19-24 who could potentially receive a tertiary education locally or internationally
  • The US – Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership formally launched by President Barack Obama and President Bambang Susilo Yudhoyono on November 9th 2011, including the U.S. government’s commitment to investing USD 165 million in higher education collaboration over five years
  • Recognized as part of ‘CIVETS’ and ‘CIVITS’ emerging markets, foreign investments into Indonesia continue to increase

Indonesia is poised to take on significant role in the global arena and impact. To prepare ourselves we need to ask:

  • How will Indonesian Higher Education Institutions prepare our youth with critical attributes, knowledge and skills to actualize growth?
  • What are the global responsibilities that come with growth?
  • What synergies are needed between industrial partners, international Higher Education partners and Indonesian Higher Education to accelerate the readiness of next generation of Indonesian leaders?
