We Need to Redefine Education

Kompas/Hendra A Setyawan

Education and Culture Minister Nadiem Makarim

We are of the same view reflected in the vision and perception of Education and Culture Minister Nadiem Makarim about education as reported in Kompas on Thursday. Among other things is the need to establish a link and match between educational curriculums and industry’s needs.

This concept has appeared since the 1980s and 1990s. We also still remember that the purpose of the concept is to ensure the graduates of schools can be employed by the industrial sector as soon as possible. In short, the graduates of the education system must be ready to use.
