GDLN Indonesia in Higher Education: Vision and Action
From Indonesia’s Ministry of National Education, Dr. Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro, Director General of Higher Education, gave a special presentation on his country’s strategy for integrating ICTs in higher education.
GDLN Indonesia was fully certified in January 2006, with a vision to improve the nation’s competitiveness through access to global knowledge, narrowing the disparity of access to information between regions, and introducing the latest technology to a wider audience.
In addition, as a replication of the GDLN, INHERENT (Indonesia Higher Education Network) was established in 2006 with government funding to improve the quality of higher education, and plans are currently being explored to link GDLN with INHERENT.
