Background
Indonesia’s Vision 2045 sets the goal for Indonesia to transition from a resource-based economy towards an advanced service, technology, and knowledge-based economy by the centenary of its independence (2045). The 2025-2045 National Long Term Development Plan emphasises the urgency of Indonesia’s human resource development to fully realise 2045 goals. Faced however with persistent low student performance that is emblematic of a learning crisis, significant improvement in student learning will be required to reach Indonesia’s 2045 goals.
Government of Indonesia (GoI) has started an ambitious program of education reforms. Successive education ministers have set out to modernise the education system through reforming the national curriculum and teaching and assessment approaches, to produce citizens with strong foundational skills, open minds, and inclusive values. Australia is a long-term supporter of the Indonesian basic education sector, with continuous investments supporting education quality improvements for the past two decades, including through the INOVASI program (Phase 1 2016-2020; Phase 2 2020-2023) that focused on supporting acquisition of literacy and numeracy foundational skills in early grades classrooms; exploring local problems and solutions; and generating evidence to inform government policy development and practices.
This third phase of INOVASI (2024-2027) builds upon the existing program’s approach and lessons learned and takes the focus on the development of foundational skills through to the end of the primary grades. Phase 3 will support the Government of Indonesia on priority issues in line with Australia’s development policy: gender equality, effective inclusion of children with a disability, responses to the climate change challenge in education. It will focus on the challenge of policy implementation and the gaps that exist between national policies and practices at district and school levels, and use the well attested-success of INOVASI’s local problem-based approach to continuously support policy development for effective fit between policy and implementation context. INOVASI Phase 3 is implemented in 25 districts and cities across Indonesia, in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, East Java, West Java, and Maluku. The Program is managed by Palladium on behalf of the Government of Australia through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
INOVASI will run program baseline and endline studies at school level in 2025 and 2027 respectively. The studies will enable INOVASI to assess schools’ changes and improvement. The baseline will be used to inform the program for areas of supports, generate insights and findings for improved inclusive teaching and learning, and to inform and engage discussions with national and subnational partners for possible and relevant actions.
The baseline study will be administered in 24 partner districts in six partner provinces of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, East Java, West Java, and Maluku. The study investigates four aspects: (1) Existing systems, policies, and practices at school level, and how GEDSI lenses applied; (2) Student’s family background and support available to learn at home; (3) Student learning outcome; (4) Climate Change knowledge, skills, attitude, and practice.
The sampling design aims for district representation, proportionate SD and madrasah. This design will enable INOVASI to provide district-based information. Schools will be selected randomly. Grade 1 – 4 students will be assessed on literacy and numeracy, using INOVASI Student Learning Assessment. In each grade, 10 students will be randomly selected, and balance gender will be considered. To ensure the use of the findings, INOVASI is closely coordinating with The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, The Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), and the district governments in implementing the study.
