In a report from the World Bank, 55% of Indonesians don't have the skills required by the job market. World Economic Forum executives forecast that by 2025, 40% of current workers' core skills are expected to change and 50% of all employees will need re-skilling in order to keep up with the times. With 191 million Indonesians of working age, 75% of whom are Gen Z and millenials, would our educational system be able to swiftly catch up in generating graduates who can apply their skills and knowledge right away to meet the ever-changing industry's needs?
Indonesia's current education ecosystem is facing a dynamic situation. Given its vast archipelago and diversity, Indonesia faces a slew of educational issues, ranging from disparities in education quality to graduates' inability to meet the demands of employment and industry.
