Preparing Indonesian Youth: A Review of Educational Research offers insights into the challenges and prospects in preparing Indonesian youth for 21st century living. The chapters feature empirically-based case studies focusing on three key aspects of education in Indonesia: teachers and teaching; school practices, programs, and innovations; and the social contexts of youth and schooling.
The case studies also represent different vantage points contributing to an enriched understanding of how larger social phenomenon—for example, education decentralisation in Indonesia, (rural-urban and transnational) migration, international benchmarking assessments, and the global feminist and women’s movement—impact and interact with enacted visions of preparing all youth educationally for work, as well as for meaningful participation in their respective communities and the Indonesian society at large.

Santoso, Anne Suryani, Aries Sutantoputra, Novita W. Sutantoputri, Isabella Tirtowalujo, Nina Widyawati and David Wright.

“Preparing Indonesian Youth includes a penetrating set of essays written by scholars with a deep understanding of current conditions in Indonesian schools. In combination, the twelve chapters offer fresh insights into the issues that are attracting the attention of educators, academics, and government officials inside Indonesia. In addition to examining public schools, the authors explore topics that have previously escaped the attention of researchers, such as alternative education programs and the experiences of migrant youth. I was impressed by the breadth of the material included as well as the quality of the scholarship.” – Christopher Bjork, Professor of Education on the Dexter M. Ferry, Jr. Chair & Coord. of Teacher Education and Director of Asian Studies
