According to some reports, there are nearly 2.5
billion people on Facebook; in India, there are
nearly 700 million people having internet access;
there are over 3.5 billion mobile phone connections in the
world. ‘Internet of Things’, or IoT as it is called, is no
longer a myth but here to stay. Increasingly, Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning seem omnipresent and
coupled with Data Analytics, appear to govern the way we
live and work.
I have started categorising people into two – BG and AG
(no longer BC and AD!); ‘Before Google’ and ‘After
Google’. These two are very different, as distinct as chalk
and cheese! They are born into different environments,
different worlds, and in different contexts. Their thinking is
largely conditioned by the environment in which they live.
Their aspirations and expectations are vastly different. The
AGs, in particular, appear to be aliens to those who are
BGs. BGs do not understand the AGs – perhaps a very few
do!
The AGs live in a world that is mostly uncertain, complex,
unstructured, and ambiguous – many people call this the
VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous)
world. Research studies on the so called ‘millennials’ or the
‘Gen-Y’ show that these AGs have perceptions that is based
not on the past, but the present and the future; not on the
theoretical foundations, but on practical applications; not on
‘what was/is’ but ‘what can be’. It is this group of AGs who
are learners of today. So, how will conventional classroom
delivery of syllabus contents meet the requirements and
expectations of these AGs?
Conventional classroom delivery or teaching methodology
is largely based on the premise that the ‘teacher’ knows
more and better than the student and hence he/she has to
‘teach’ what he/she thinks the student has to learn. This
premise is no longer true. We are dealing with a completely
different set of ‘learners’ today. They ‘learn’ best at their
own pace, their own space, their own way, and their own
contents. They want to decide what to learn, where, how,
and when. Teaching methods, particularly in higher
education – undergraduate and postgraduate levels – have
to be tuned differently in order that the ‘learner’ benefits
most from such ‘teaching’.
It is often said that information becomes obsolete every 11
hours; so, what the teacher learnt from a text book that itself
is two years old the previous night is completely obsolete

the next morning when he/she goes to the classroom to
teach. Thanks to Wikipedia, Google, and such other
technological tools, the latest and most recently updated
information is available to the student at the click of a
button. We are dealing with learners who are constantly in
search of the latest and the most current. They have neither
the patience, nor the inclination for the old. Teachers need
to change their teaching methodology in order to be
effective and successful.
In my view, particularly in management education, ‘lecture’
method should be restricted to not more than 30% of
teaching and the remaining 70% should comprise methods
that engages the learner in the process of learning. ‘Massive
Open Online Courses’ or MOOCs provide a great
opportunity to the learners for self-learning. MOOCs
provide an affordable and flexible way to learn new skills.
‘Flipped Classroom’ is another methodology for ensuring
achievement of expected learning outcomes. This provides
for the learners to be an integral part of the teaching-
learning process through intense discussions and critical
questioning. Use of audio and visual clips can enhance
learning. In other words, it is of importance that the learner
is actively engaged in the learning process. It is necessary
for the teacher to recognise and use the conceptual
framework of David Kolb and the learning styles.
‘Bring Your Own Device’ or BYOD has been a frequently
word acronym in education. Recognising the impact of
technology and the benefits that the teachers and learners
gain from extensive use of technology, BYOD policy
enables the teacher and the learner to communicate with
each other and continuously learn without the constraints of
physical space, time, and geography. It helps enhance
critical thinking skills through discussions and debates.
Ultimately, the purpose of education, in my view, is to
imbibe the ability to question critically, to distinguish
between right and wrong, to learn and share new
knowledge, to acquire new skills, and to internalise all these
for becoming a vastly desirable human. Technology is
impacting education in a big way. The ‘how’ part of
education is undergoing never-before changes – the
teaching methodology of the past is no longer adequate to
meet the challenges thrown by advancements in technology.
It is the responsibility of teachers to recognise the changes
and embrace technology not only to survive but to stay
relevant.

Bustanil Arifin
Founder
The Creation of IPMI
Bustanil Arifin is former Minister of
Cooperative and head of National Agency of
Logistic (Bulog) in 1978–1993 during the
President Suharto’s era. In 1984, he opened
IPMI Graduate School of Business —an
educational institution. As Indonesian market is
inextricably linked to the world economy and
there is an increase in the competitive market
both domestically and internationally, the logic
of opening IPMI came to mind.
“I dream of a school that would train
Indonesian Managers who can perform
effectively in the face of rigorous competition,
familiar with International Business Practices
and yet remain solidly grounded in
Indonesia”—stated Bustanil Arifin.
To implement the transformations, both the
government and private companies need the
managers who can deal with the new changes.
The institute optimisms that the education
which students have received, that has prepared
them to face the challenge, and at the same
time, helped them to become one of the
responsible members of a future society they
will help to build and one they can be proud of.
On the other hand, the IPMI is planning to
provide an educational environment, globally
connected locally embedded, and strengthening
the strategic partnership with international
reputable institutions.

he only way to produce people like Bill Gates and
TSteve jobs is to educate aspiring students from the
grass root level. Recently, one of the renowned
report showed that many graduates worldwide are
unemployed. It is observed that the government is also
struggling to respond to this trend. It seems that radical
transformation is steered at a local level. Change is
anchored in the communities where even a smaller range of
initiatives can also be focused on. So, the challenge is
where these changes can be done.

Student Entrepreneurship
T
H
TM

The idea of integrating entrepreneurship in education system has become increasingly popular these days. Some of the
plausible reasons are as follows:
Economic Advantages
With better entrepreneurial understanding and actions, a country’s economic success and development will lead to the higher
levels of economic output and productivity amongst the future workforce. Just for an example, one can look at the fast growth
of the IT industry, which is becoming a major world force.
Societal Improvement
Many of the social issues, like the problem of unemployment can be easily solved with this idea. Logically the country’s
infrastructure improves as a necessity to support economic growth. Only the business minds can change the way of working,
improve the standard of living, and break away from the traditional ‘ways of being’ to embrace new technologies and a more
fluid working life. This would be a revolutionary movement for the country. Just for an example, one can note the wonderful
impact that Bill Gates has made in the USA to finance improvements in schools and communities through his success with
Microsoft.
Citizenship
The political understanding of young people can also be improved by the entrepreneurial knowledge as future voters in a
vibrant and fast-paced democracy leading to greater equality and opportunities.
Classroom learning
The theoretical aspect of an education system can be improved with the experience of entrepreneurial activities and concepts
by linking learning to the real world. Entrepreneurial education, therefore, is important and it matters to students.
In the today’s 21st century, an entrepreneurial education offers the potentials for the personal and community growth which is
necessary. So, the institutes need to cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and understanding in young minds. This can be done by
identifying the key skills and qualities that encourage such understandings and infuse them into all areas of the school or
college curriculum. Also, teaching entrepreneurship as a discrete activity through specially designed curriculum programs.
This gives the experiential constructive approach, which is required to foster skill development and the theoretical
understanding. Thus, the students have the opportunity to come up with the original ideas. The identified skills include: taking
initiative, intuitive decision making, making things happen, networking, and identifying opportunities, creative problem
solving skill, innovating, strategic thinking and personal effectiveness.
Being an entrepreneur is not necessarily about making money, rather, it is about a mindset that develops personality and social
identity, investigates personal ambitions and goals. It also enhances confidence and resilience and encourages self-discipline
and organization. This allows the reflection on one’s own motivations, which is realistic. Even no uncertainties and risks can
stop one from achieving their dreams. Thus, it is an education of the mindset that must be applied in all the aspects of
education. A sense of enterprise and opportunity creation is essential to education.
Cultivating a young entrepreneurial mind is moving from the passive learning to the active learning. One of the best ways of
doing this is to link it to a strong program of community service where the students are supported to go ‘beyond their comfort
zone’. The entrepreneurial spirit can change the society, and indeed it should do, for the betterment of all in society. T R

A Passion for Education - A global Force in Education
The national education system of
Indonesia is developed from the
struggle for independence and
the renaissance of the nation.
Many influences, local or global,
contributed to the changing nature
of the curriculum, education,
valuation, and teacher
professionalism, during its
development.
Indonesia is a large country with a
population of almost 235 million,
covering an area of 1,910,931 sq.
km. The population is still
dominated by the young
generation, whereby close to 50%
of its population is younger than 25
years. As an emerging economy,
Indonesia is considered as a low
middle-income country, which is
entering the third stage of
economic development, called
the “Efficiency Driven Economy” by
the World Economic Forum (WEF
2012).
The higher education system in
Indonesia is largely influenced by
the American model except in
some areas such as medical and
vocational education where some
forms of European model were
also adopted.

n today’s modern age, education plays a crucial role in
Ibuilding a nation. Counted as the basis for human
character development and knowledge, imparting
quality education has become a basic necessity in order to
build a better tomorrow.
Standing amongst the top few populated countries of the
world, the education system of Indonesia is witnessing a
paradigm shift as the Government is determined to
showcase Indonesia as one of the most preferred choice for
educational institutes. Having an educated and a skilled
pool of resources is a prerequisite for a sustainable
economic growth. Demographic changes, rising income
levels, and recent reforms incorporated in the educational
sector has assisted the growth trajectory to new heights.
Out of various factors that attribute towards establishing a
‘world-class’ educational institute is Technology. Over the
last decade, technology has assisted to cultivate new
concepts and has broadened the perspective of education
among the masses.

Forwarding Future

Cultivating Childhood Education
People are becoming more aware about the significance of
early childhood education. As such, the nursery schools,
playgroups, and kindergarten are boosting the Indonesian
education and going beyond the traditional forms of
learning. According to an independent survey, the number
of Indonesian children enrolled in kindergarten is
heightened in the recent years.
Acknowledging the necessity of education, the parents in
Indonesia are willing to pay a much higher value to enroll
their children in reputed preschools and develop a curated
potential to withstand the complexities of life. Additionally,
more women are getting engaged in teaching and entering
the doors of workforce which is successfully empowering
the playgroup and day care services. This scenario is
creating prominent business opportunities for private as
well as government institutions to go an extra-mile and
create a one-of-its-kind history.
The Primary and Secondary Schools
The advent of technology and its implementation has
empowered a huge number of schools with best-in-class
qualities and facilities, thereby supporting the middle-class
families. The boom of primary and secondary schoolselite
has remarkably filled the voids of traditional and new-age
learning in Indonesia. Established to cater to the demands
of urban, middle-class families, these schools are painting a
distinctive canvas of knowledge for the children. They even
offer a boarding programme which suits the needs of the
families, where both parents are usually working. Offering
bucketful of amenities and professional teachers, these
schools are embracing the changes and transforming the
students into the building blocks of tomorrow.
The Higher Education Framework
The existing as well as the emerging campuses are working
in association with the foreign universities through the
student and teacher exchange programs. Adding value to
these operations are the grants and scholarships, dual
degree, joint research, training, and publication, and many
others. For smooth improvement in the quality of the higher
educational institutions, the Indonesian Government is
taking necessary strides to embrace technology and offer
state-of-the-art learning experience to the students.
This outshines a myriad of restrictions which limit the
commercialization of higher education by foreign
institutions. This includes the obligation to adjust the
programmes to local rules, culture and conditions including
using Indonesian names. It also deals with the language and
being an Indonesian legal entity, restricting the proportion
of foreign faculty to forty percent, and the need to operate
on a not-for-profit basis. This in turn has enhanced the
attractiveness of the Indonesian higher education sector. It
also enhances the economic potential and unlock new
doors, where bigger universities would invest in Indonesia.
The E-Learning Approach
Researchers reveal that the number of internet and
smartphone users in Indonesia is increasing da-by-day. As
such, the educational institutions are opting for newer
strategies to engage more and more students along with the
foreign and domestic investors. Today, the Indonesian
startups in the education sector are receiving funding from
the investors. Moreover, the foreign startups in this sector
are also eyeing Indonesia’s tech-savvy students and
teachers and creating a platform of e-learning with an aim
to deliver expert tutoring.
Currently, the e-education and e-learning are taking newer
forms of website services and mobile app platforms on a
large-scale. It is consistently revolutionizing the educational
space with the growth of online and digital businesses.
These efficient efforts are crafting out essential openings in
the learning, where a child is developed as a responsible
human and can fight to attain his basic needs.
The Next Big Thing
While 2017 was a challenging as well as opportunistic year
for the Indonesian education sector, 2018 would be a year
where it would trek to newer success heights. Taking on
tech-enabled changes the education system would be
developed as a high-quality brick capable of constructing
strong learning outcomes. The future will witness more
augmented, technocratic, and donor-sponsored education
policy reforms that would frame better resourcing for
schools and HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) along
with better teacher training programs. This will grant
secured institutional autonomy and decentralization of
managerial responsibility in the coming years.
The next bigger thing would also include the development
of strong educational links that would surely shape the
evolution of Indonesian education system. T R
