Toward reputable universities
• Hafid Abbas Jakarta / Sat, July 6 2019 / 01:21 am
In May, the Asia University Rankings revealed the 350 best colleges and universities in Asia, featuring institutions from 27 countries.
Japan tops the list with 103 universities in the ranking, while China comes second with 72 institutions. India is the third-best represented country with 49 universities.
The Asia University Rankings are based on the same 13 performance indicators as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, which cover performance indicators in teaching (including staff-to-student ratio and institutional income) research (volume, income and reputation), citations (research influence), international outlook (international-to- domestic student ratio, international-to-domestic-staff ratio, international collaboration); and industry income. Not a single Indonesian university is in the top 10 or 20 best universities, despite having the most higher education institutions across Asia.
In 2017, the country had almost 4,500 such institutions, while European Union universities totaled 3,300. The real challenge for Indonesia’s higher education management is right sizing this extremely large number to some 2,000 and improving their quality. Since the previous education and culture ministry was divided into two in 2014, with one part becoming the Research, Technology and Higher Education Ministry, university management policy has been significantly reformed.
In the past, the university senate, as the supreme academic body with responsibility for superintending and regulating teaching, research, community services and discipline at the university, was totally under the rector’s control. The rector was both university senate chair and university president. The rectorate is the super body, while the senate is a complimentary institution.
