CONDITION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDONESIA

Law no. 2 year 1989 on National Education System states that colleges can take the form Academies, Polytechnics, Colleges, Institutes, or Universities. Higher education can be organized by the Government, in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture (State University-PTN), department or other government agencies (Higher Education for official-PTK), or by the community (Private Higher Education-PTN).
Across Indonesia there are currently 77 universities in the Department of Education held, consisting of two Academy, 26 Polytechnics, 4 High School, 10 Teachers' Training College, 4 Institut, and 31 Universities. PTN is to accommodate 77 475 988 students (school year 1996/1997).
Universities conducted by the community (PTS) accounted for 1293, consisting of 407 Academies, Polytechnics 9, 571 High School, 44 Institute, and University 262. Number of students for the academic year 1996/1997 PTS recorded 1,448,775 persons.
Of the total number of students registered in 1996/1997 as many as 1,924,763 people, it seems that the capacity of private universities (75.27%) had three times the capacity of higher education organized by the government (24.73%). This suggests that the role of civil society / private sector in higher education should be highly considered. Moreover, the ability to accommodate growth of private universities is also high. During the last decade (1986-1996) an increase in the number of PTS nearly two-fold, ie 665 in 1986 to PTS 1293 PTS in 1996.
