Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the barriers that prevent private universities from achieving world-class status. Six private universities with national A, B, and C accreditations were examined using qualitative methods including interviews, focus groups, and university documents, as well as the Times Higher Education (THE) assessment criteria in 2021. The research highlights a stark contrast between private universities in developed countries, which have more flexibility in achieving World-Class University (WCU) status, and those in Indonesia, which face significant challenges. Obstacles include the youth of the institutions, limited student enrollment, faculty lacking doctoral degrees, inadequate adoption of international teaching methods, insufficient research output, and weak research linkages. There's also a lack of language skills among faculty, a shortage of international staff, and limited collaboration with recognized institutions. The paper recommends that private universities improve the quality of education with government support through incentives, funding for domestic and international doctoral training, modern research facilities, and other relevant initiatives.

Abstract

Disruption in higher education due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic has forced universities to adapt to distance learning by utilizing information and communication technology. At the same time, the quality of learning must be maintained and prioritized. The problem discussed in this study is that there is no standard for quality assurance of distance learning in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic for higher education. This study aims to (1) analyze policies related to distance learning quality assurance and (2) analyze the efforts made by universities in implementing quality assurance. This study is desk research where the analysis is carried out in two stages. The first stage is to review policies related to distance learning quality assurance, and the second stage is to analyze the implementation of quality assurance in three state universities and five private universities. The results show that (a) the implementation of the Internal Quality Assurance System varies, and (b) there is no standard that can be used as a reference to ensure the quality of distance learning. This study concludes that the strengthening of internal quality assurance system through the cycle of determination, implementation, evaluation, control, and improvement can be used as an alternative to quality assurance for distance learning in higher education.

Abstract

Homeschooling is an educational option for children outside the school system that is practiced in various countries. In Indonesia, there is a trend towards an increasing number of homeschoolers. Homeschoolers value the flexibility in structure and content that homeschooling provides, which is not usually available in traditional schools. in traditional schools. One of the main challenges in formulating policies for implementing home schools is harmonizing the principles of flexibility and accountability. This research uses a mixed methods approach to obtain comprehensive data and provide a complete understanding. The harmonization of the Draft Regulations on the Implementation of Home Schools revealed that the state's interests in promoting home school accountability can be balanced with the interests of parents who desire flexibility. This allows for the proper fulfillment of the rights of homeschooled children. The results of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the draft regulations for implementing home schools, conducted in Yogyakarta, Medan, and Balikpapan on November 9-11, 2022, showed that respondents were concerned about the principles of flexibility and accountability. Four issues were identified: homeschooling registration, scope of homeschooling material, recognition of past learning, and changing track.

Abstract

This study employs an empirical methodology to investigate the calculation of indices for determining the unit costs of equivalent education. This study compares the Construction Cost Index (CCI) and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in order to evaluate their relative effectiveness. A review of the existing literature on these indices reveals a need for more refined calculation and comparison methods. The study employs data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (CSA), including CCI and PPP figures from 2021 and allocations for School Operational Assistance (SOA) for non-formal education in 2022, to examine the relative significance of the CCI and PPP. The findings indicate that the CCI exerts a greater influence than the PPP. Furthermore, the application of a relative importance approach through multiple regression analysis reveals a robust positive correlation between the CCI and PPP, underscoring their intricate interrelationship.
