How to elevate of human resources in Indonesia?

There are many ways to elevate the value of human resources in Indonesia. Here are some ideas:

  1. English should be the instruction language in the best universities in Indonesia. I met some Indonesian Professors of Medicine, who have very poor English capabilities. Where they get their updated medical knowledge from?...
  2. High school students should have TOEFL's level of English exam to pass their matriculation tests, and to be accepted by any governmental sponsored University.
  3. Indonesia will grant FREE KITAS and other benefits for any qualified English teacher around the world, if he/she has an employer in Indonesia. Currently, one has to pay around 1,000,000 Rupiahs per month just for visa...
  4. Indonesia will encourage its immigrated skilled population who currently living in advanced countries to come back to Indonesia. One of the first steps should be the recognition of dual citizenship. Current policy, almost force any skilled Indonesian who live abroad to abandon his/her homeland citizenship. Many Asian nations get their push of modernization by returned skilled citizens. This will never happened in Indonesia as long as dual citizenship is not recognized here!
  5. University studies should be free of charge for girls. This will push the whole population very fast to better standard of achievements, since not many girls will want to marry a guy who has lower education than her... Likewise, educated women, ensure her children will be educated too. Educated women have also fewer children. This can curb the growth of population too, and bring with it higher standard of living among Indonesians.
  6. Indonesian appointed international scholar committee should decide which university fields are the most important for the future development of Indonesia. Then, it should pay as much as needed to bring the most respected professors around the world to teach in Indonesia for some years.
  7. Universities should be managed by people who have experience in managing international respected campuses. Indonesia should pay these managers the needed salary, and give them full support for any reform they would like to implement.

Good Luck!
