The portrait of our world of higher education today seems to still be looking for form. At any time, higher education policies change. For example, two months ago, the minister said that one university is required to have at least ten study programs and at least each study program is taught by six lecturers.
At present, the policy is not being replaced by adding vocational programs namely diplomas with lecturer requirements of at least five people. That is so on. Including the question of lecturer retirement from 65 years to 70 years there are all political interests. Not to mention the question of research funding for lecturers is also full of political nuances.
From the amount of research funding, said the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Mohamad Nasir, also continued to rise. Five years ago, RI's research costs were only 0.08 percent, after Jokowi's lead continued to rise and 2017 reached 0.25 percent. The increase was also remarkable at 0.17 in order to give birth to unicorns and new start-ups. While the polytechnic system is simplified by meme rules (multi entry multi exit) so that no students DO.
Well, if politics is used to advance the nation's children it is very good. Like research funding for students and lecturers, it must also be followed by the extent of its implementation so far for society and the industrial world. This is what no one controls. That's why many doctoral and professor studies are only on paper, but rarely applied in the world of work.
The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education began this year to simplify regulations. The aim of all universities (PT) can move quickly in order to produce more quality and affordable PTs. The service was shortened from months to only 15 days. Well, if this is the new name positive politics.
When looking at conditions in the region, data shows that out of 172 PTS in Bali, NTB, and NTT, 76 percent have been accredited, who are not yet new study programs. Only, from Higher Education Institution Accreditation (AIPT) has only been accredited 43 percent even though 2019 is the end of AIPT. This shows that the quality of our PT requires political will from the government so that they are equal and equal. Thus, we can only map Indonesian HR. For example, by pouring funds for completeness of facilities and infrastructure, dropping qualified lecturers and others.
When now the HR at PT is now being stretched out to win the presidential candidate in the 2019 Presidential Election, it must be observed smartly. Campus as a scientific venue can be used as a venue to support and bring in certain candidates? The answer is two, which is permissible and not.
There are parties who say that let the president visit the campus to promote themselves, as long as it is in a frame of program and vision. While others say the campus must be sterile from political interests including bringing in candidates. Enough academics choose which presidential candidates are pro-world education, teachers, and lecturers.
When viewed from the condition of Bali, Governor Wayan Koster has spread positive politics in the field of education. He offered collaboration in handling higher education in Bali even though the responsibility of higher education was at the center.
Second, he offered thematic research lecturers and synergized with government programs. For example, the cooperation between the Provincial Government of Bali and the Faculty of Agriculture, in its simple idea, he wants to invite Faculty of Agriculture students to the village, work on the farming community, research, and apply directly to the farmers.
This is what he calls thematic research. Likewise with other fields of cooperation, so that no more, said Koster, the results of research by lecturers only entered the drawer.
Well, the good will of the government must be a challenge for universities in Bali. Want to be serious or just relax?
