EVALUATION ASSIGNMENT

Indonesian Higher Education Leadership (iHiLead)

Funding information

Project duration: 01.03.2021 – 31.01.2024

Project concept

Initial situation

The Indonesian higher education sector is facing a significant transition as it moves from an expansion phase, where access to a larger part of the population was improved, to a phase where the focus is on improving the quality of that education. Improving the quality of higher education is crucial, as studies show that it is far below international standards. There are more than 4,000 institutions with wide disparities in quality and infrastructure. The disparity is partly due to Indonesia's geographical location, but is also due to the deep-rooted structures, such as the funding system.

Target groups and their benefits

The iHiLead project is located at national, regional, local and institutional levels. The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education in Indonesia, universities in Indonesia, leaders in higher education institutions. At the same time, quality management including university partner managers are addressed.

Project goal

Das Projekt iHiLead hat zum Ziel, ein Entwicklungsprogramm zu erarbeiten für den Transfer und die Umsetzung eines formalen Rahmens für die Entwicklung von Führungskräften und Management sowie eines damit verbundenen Netzwerks für die Entwicklung von Führungskräften. Dieses Programm wird auf die spezifischen Bedürfnisse von Hochschuleinrichtungen und deren Führungs- und Managementpersonal in Indonesien zugeschnitten. Es besteht ein klarer und lokal festgestellter Bedarf an der Durchführung eines qualitativ hochwertigen Programms, wie es von den EU-Partnereinrichtungen erfolgreich eingesetzt wird, um die Führungs- und Managementfähigkeiten in den indonesischen Hochschuleinrichtungen zu entwickeln, wenn der Strukturwandel in diesem Sektor in vollem Umfang genutzt werden soll.
