UNIVERSITY EDUC.II

closed

The Second University Development Project will develop Indonesia's capacity to train its own university teachers and researchers. This will be accomplished by: (a) development of new graduate-level programs in selected fields of study and research; (b) initiation of five specialized undergraduate fields of study which are currently not available in Indonesia; and (c) strengthening of overall university planning and management. The project will finance about 845 graduate fellowships; about 1,000 research grants; about 3,000 differing prototype instructional materials; facilities and equipment for 16 inter-university graduate education centers; and related technical assistance. The main benefits of the project will be to increase the proportion of university teachers holding advanced degrees from 15% to 35%; improve the quality of educational materials, teaching methods and research; and increase management capacity for administration and planning of higher education.
