Abstract

An analysis of the education situation in Indonesia, focusing on the impact of the unequal education structure on the economic sector and the high poverty rate. These problems have led to an increase in the number of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Malaysia, including their children who face obstacles in obtaining formal education. This report describes the Government of Indonesia's initiative through the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia to establish non-formal schools, such as Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) and Sanggar Bimbingan Hulu Kelang, as an alternative to providing access to education to immigrant children. However, legal issues related to the citizenship of immigrant children complicate the government's efforts to provide protection and proper education. The focus of the report also reveals a lack of public literacy regarding the procedures for working abroad, affecting the validity of immigrants' documents and their children's education rights. Mentorship centers, such as Sanggar Bimbingan Hulu Kelang, are emerging as a solution in helping immigrant children obtain basic education and overcome administrative barriers. Collaboration between the Government of Indonesia, universities and communities through Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) activities in Malaysia is a positive step in addressing community education and literacy issues. The report also details the collaboration between INTI and the rectors' assembly and the role of students in making a positive impact. Despite the obstacles, the success of the KKN program proves that active community participation can make a difference in improving the quality of education among Indonesian immigrants in Malaysia.

Abstract

The introduction of Indonesian culture is carried out through an understanding of ethnicity, art, language, and customs. This cultural sharing is considered effective as a means to promote the nation's culture and increase understanding between nations as a bridge to improve cross-cultural understanding and strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. By introducing Indonesia's cultural diversity to the Thai people, it is hoped that it can increase understanding of the importance of culture as a form of national identity and maintain social harmony. By using the observation approach, sharing season, and presentation to identify the impact of the introduction of Indonesian culture on the perception of Thai society, with the main focus on cultural understanding, we can establish international cooperation. This study shows that this cultural introduction initiative can enrich Indonesia's cultural insights in the Thailand community, especially in Thai Global Business Administration Technological College (TGBC), as well as make them aware of the importance of culture as a national asset that must be preserved and appreciated. This can open up opportunities for cooperation in academic and non-academic fields, which will later create a closer and mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries.
