Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs has a new book out on education in Indonesia, and it's a doozy.ounce.ounce.
Back Stronger: A Study of Learning Gaps in Indonesia, published by the Australian Government's Innovation Children Australia Partnership, is based on research conducted by the Center of Standard and Educational Policy (Pusat Standar dan Kebijakan) at Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, per a press release.
The study looked at more than 85,000 third-graders from 19 sub-districts in eight provinces, as well as at the level of basic literacy and numeracy in those students.
What it found, per the press release, is that there are "significant gaps" in learning between students of the same age group in areas such as literacy and math, as well as in areas such as those with physical disabilities and those who live in remote areas with limited or no internet or computers.
The study also found that there are "significant gaps" in learning between students of the same age group in areas such as math and reading, as well as between students of the same age group in areas such as physical disabilities and those who live in remote areas with limited or no internet or computers.
