Our Universities toward Golden Indonesia 2045. Are They Ready?

The countdown to the Golden Indonesia 2045 is currently underway. This year's National Education Day 2021 coincides with the 76th anniversary of Independence Day. Our great hope is that when we are having centennial celebration of our Independence Day in 2045, all Indonesian people will have been able to access good education and produce excellent and competent human resources who are able to take part at global level in their respective fields. The ongoing pandemic in its second year offers an excellent opportunity to pause and consider the successes and failures of our nation's higher education system. One of the important questions is whether our universities are ready enough to welcome 100 years of the independence, in accordance with the vision of becoming an industrial country?
