27 May 2020: Indonesia’s international education potential
International education is Australia’s largest services export, valued at $35.2 billion, and its vulnerabilities have been exposed in its reliance on bringing students onshore.
Some institutions and businesses have seen an opportunity and patiently created a presence offshore, including in Indonesia. So how can Indonesia be part of the sector’s recovery? What are the key challenges faced in capturing opportunities in the country? Will the impact of COVID19 force a re-think in a sector that has been struggling with market diversity? How can Australia’s education providers successfully navigate those challenges?
Our expert panel of education leaders explored these questions from the lens of three key areas – higher education, vocational education and training, and education technology.
