EDUCATION ISSUE Our special package takes a broad look education sector. Inside these pages is an interview with Minister M. Nasir on his vision for upgrading higher education, along with research and technology. There are also profiles of Bina Nusantara (Binus) and the London School of Public Relations (LSPR), both entrepreneurial success stories that fill important roles in providing skills needed for the country’s development.
A profile of the state-run school for pilot training is very apt given the continuing strong market for pilots and other airport and airline workers as the aviation sector expands in the region. Finally, education that helps preserves Indonesia’s unique cultural tradition is equally vital to retaining its heritage, hence a profile of Sang Ayu Muklen, perhaps the oldest living legong teacher. John Hardy’s Green School in Bali is trying to pioneer a new approach to education that puts ecological awareness at the center of its curriculum.
These articles show the enormous opportunity, and demand, for quality education within the country.
