Indonesia’s university system is struggling to produce graduates who are equipped to work in today’s fast-paced working world.
While the economy is booming, poorly run universities mean that quality
graduates are hard to come by. Employers are finding it tough to find
workers who can think critically and transit smoothly into employment
and this affects the talent pool that companies can draw from.
“University graduates often lack the necessary skills employers need,”
said the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
said in a recent report on education.
The report revealed that there was a lack in “thinking, technical and
behavioural skills” and some 20-25% of graduates needed retraining on
the job. Indonesian universities are “lagging behind” other nations and
absent of global competitiveness.
In comparison, nations like India produce highly-skilled doctors, engineers and scientists who are in demand across the world.
HR experts warn that if this continues, Indonesia will fall behind its competitors.
