Indonesia is more than a nation of bustling cities and pristine natural scenery. It's a top diversity source market, one which has seen steady growth in students pursuing higher education, particularly international education in recent years. With diversification becoming increasingly vital in our sector, Indonesia stands out as a strong and reliable source market for institutions looking to broaden their recruitment strategies.
In our latest research report, we will draw upon data from Emerging Futures 4, our recent pulse survey, and other external sources to explore what Indonesian students want most from their international education, how they have reacted to the latest policy changes affecting our sector, and how institutions can tailor their recruitment efforts to this growing cohort.
Key themes explored in the report include:
Indonesia's post-independence commitment to providing education for its citizens
The characteristics of contemporary Indonesian students
What Indonesian students most want from their studies, including key insights from on-the-ground IDP counsellors in Indonesia
What Indonesian students think of recent policy changes, including those relating to visas and post-study work rights.
Parents are now more concerned about graduate employment opportunities than distance from friends and family.
Source market population and economic growth are key factors
