Documentations
The AQRF was endorsed by the ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) in August 2014; the ASEAN
Education Ministers (ASED) in September 2014; and the ASEAN Labor Ministers Meeting (ALMM)
through ad-referendum from November 2014 to May 2015.
The development of AQRF is based on agreed understanding between AMS to support the mobility
among ASEANs within or outside the region that in the long run, will envisage the establishment of
single ASEAN community.
The ultimate vision of a strong and harmonious ASEAN community is only achievable if mutual trust
is developed among AMS as the nation, characterized by an easy and beneficial mobility among
ASEANs. Openness, transparency, accountability of AMS education and qualifications systems may
be able to act as substantial catalyst in flourishing greater mobility among ASEANs.
By design, the framework aims as a reference to facilitate mutual understanding and mutual
recognition among AMS education and qualifications systems, thus engagement in AQRF is in the
context of respecting the specific structures of each AMS qualifications frameworks. The
implementation of AQRF has a neutral influence on national qualifications frameworks of
participating AMS. The condition is designed in order to maintain responsiveness to each AMS
national priorities.
With the aforementioned situations, a referencing process is a logical step for establishing the
relationship between education and qualifications system in Indonesia with all remaining AMS
through alignment of nine-levels Indonesia Qualifications Framework to the eight-level AQRF.
Various stages of outcomes for undertaking the referencing process included:
1. By presenting the education and qualifications of Indonesia to other AMS, we expect other AMS
obtain better understanding of our system, particularly the concept, context, implementation of
the IQF.
2. By handing out information, data, and facts about our quality assurance systems, at the most
transparent and accountability modes, Indonesia expects trust from other AMS towards
Indonesia education outcomes and its respective qualifications will be built.
3. Internally, by describing our quality assurance system throughout the education system,
Indonesia is able to see better picture on the real condition and can design better ways to
improve quality of our human capital and human resources.
4. By producing more quality human resources, trust, respect, and recognition of qualifications of
Indonesia human resources cultivate bigger, which in turn, it can promote better mobility and

As one of the strategic steps to manifest the quality and identity of Indonesian people, the
Government of Indonesia has compiled the Indonesian Qualifications Framework (IQF) that has been
designated in the Republic of Indonesia Presidential Decree 8 of 2012 on Indonesia Qualifications
Framework.
The preparation of the IQF was one of the steps to realize the nation’s identity and quality of the
Indonesian in the human resources sector which is associated with a national education and training
system development program. Each level of IQF qualification represents learning outcomes of every
Indonesian, achieved through various learning pathways.
The establishment of the IQF has two primary legal bases, i.e. Law 13 of 2003 on Manpower under
the Ministry of Manpower and Law 20 of 2003 on the National Education System under the Ministry
Education and Culture.
Government Regulation 31 of 2006 on the National Work Training System and Government
Regulation 10 of 2018 on the Indonesian Professional Certification Authority (IPCA/BNSP) are
derivations of Law 13 of 2003 on Manpower. Besides, the IQF is also established to fulfill the
mandate of Law 20 of 2003 of the National Education System, article 4 (2) with an multi-entry and
multi-exit system which allows students to exit from one education pathway and enter another
pathways with certain recognition.
The IQF establishment is also compiled as one of the consequences of the approval and renewed the
UNESCO convention on the International Convention on Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and
Degrees in Higher Education in Asia and the Pacific, on December 16 - 1983 and on January 30 –
2008, respectively. The Convention has been authorized at November 16 – 2007 by Presidential
Regulation 103 of 2007 on Regional Convention on the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and
Degrees in Higher Education in Asia and The Pacific.
Some other legal grounds that used as references in the preparation of the IQF include: Law 18
of1999, Article 33 paragraph 2, on Construction Services which gives authority to the Construction
Services Community to play a role in providing education and training in the field of construction
services; Law 30 of 2004 on Notary Position; Law 36 of 2009 on Health which regulates the
categories, types and qualifications of health workers; and Law 14 of 2005 on Teachers and
Lecturers, which regulates the qualifications and competences of lecturers and teachers. In addition,
there are regulations relating to aspects of quality and employment qualifications issued by
ministries or other government institutions, including private companies and state-owned
companies. Most of these regulations are applied in a limited manner within the respective
government institutions, state-owned companies or private companies. They regulate aspects
concerning the determination of the level of qualifications and work capabilities needed at each
career level within the institution, as well as the recognition of competences resulted from internal
and external training institutions.
The IQF has a formal juridical position in the form of a Presidential Regulation, namely Presidential
Decree 8 of 2012, which is a description of higher regulations. The article 1 paragraph 1 explained
that IQF is a framework that can compare, equalize, and integrate qualifications resulted from
education, work training, and work experience in order to provide appropriate work competency
recognition with work structures in various sectors.
According to the latest data collected in December 2018, with a population of more than 270 million,
Indonesia has been managing more than 18,000 high schools and vocational schools and 4,255
universities with 22,306 study programs. At present, about 7,5 million students enrolled in higher
education institutions. Each graduate of formal learning has a diploma that reflects certain
qualifications. Nonetheless, the enrollment rate at university level is still low. About 70% young
Indonesian participates in non-formal learning (courses or training). At present, there are various
16,935 training institutions, catering 29,283 training programs and courses.
Based on factual conditions where the ratio of formal schooling in Indonesia is still much smaller
than one's qualifications achieved through self-taught learning, courses, training and work
experience, the IQF is structured as a qualification framework that can accommodate all educational
outcomes, without exception, both formal learning, non-formal (training, courses), work experience,
and self-learning.
Furthermore, in the formal education system, the concept of the IQF reflects a unified system in
which learning outcomes for the types of academic, vocational and professional education are
considered the equal for the same level of qualifications. This is in line with Law 20 of 2003 on the
National Education System which mandates an education system with a multi-entry, multi-exit
approach; so that one is allowed to take one type of education then proceed to a higher level of
education in another type of education. The type of education transfer program adopted by the
education system in Indonesia also reflects the concept of seamless pathways in the realm of
education and training.
In the qualification leveling system, the decree further states that the achievement of equal learning
outcomes of different types of education and training will yield the same qualification level. Based
on this provision, the IQF can be arranged more simply if compared to qualifications framework of
many countries, which either prioritize recognition of formal learning outcomes at higher
qualifications levels, or establish more than one sectorial qualifications frameworks.
The development of the IQF has general and specific objectives. General objectives include the
matters that can encourage integration between related sectors, while specific objectives cover the
strategic aspects of developing the framework and level of qualifications.
The IQF consists of nine levels qualifications, starting from Qualification Level I as the lowest
qualification and Qualification Level IX as the highest qualification. Determination of Levels I through
IX is carried out through comprehensive mapping of labor conditions in Indonesia in terms of the
producer side (supply push) and the user side (demand pull) of the workforce. Explanation of each
level of qualification is also adjusted to consider the state of the country as a whole, including the
development of science, technology and art, the development of sectors supporting the economy
and people's welfare such as industry, agriculture, health, law, etc., as well as building aspects
national identity reflected in ‘Unity in Diversity’ (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika), namely the commitment to
continue to recognize the diversity of religion, ethnicity, culture, language and art as a distinctive
feature of the Indonesian nation.
The qualification levels in the IQF with Level IX as the highest level does not necessarily mean that is
higher than the level of qualification applicable in Europe (8 levels) and Hong Kong (7 levels) or vice
versa lower than the level of qualifications applicable in Zealand New (10 levels). This precisely
defines that the types of qualifications in the IQF are designed to allow each level of qualification to
be in line with the shared needs of graduates and users, formal education/training/courses in
Indonesia at this time, and graduate degrees for every education pathway that applies in Indonesia.
Each level of qualification in the IQF is arranged by six main parameters, namely science, knowledge,
practical know-how, skills, affection, and competency. The six parameters contained in each level
are arranged in the form of descriptions called Qualification Descriptors. The definitions of each
parameter are explained as follows.
1. Science is described as a system based on scientific methodology to build knowledge through
the results of research in a body of knowledge. Continuous research that is used to build a
science must be supported by a record of data, observation, and analysis that is measurable and
aims to improve human understanding of natural and social symptoms.
2. Knowledge is described as mastery of theory and skills by someone in a particular field of
expertise or understanding of facts and information obtained by someone through experience or
education and training for certain purposes.
3. Practical know-how is described as mastery of theory and skills by someone in a particular field
of expertise or understanding of methodology and technical skills acquired by someone through
experience or education for certain purposes.
4. Skills are described as psychomotor abilities (including manual dexterity and use of methods,
materials, tools, and instruments) that are achieved through measurable training, based on
knowledge or practical knowledge (practical know-how) possessed someone so as to be able to
produce products or performance that can be assessed qualitatively or quantitatively.
5. Affection is described as a person's sensitive attitude towards aspects around his life, both those
that are cultivated by the learning process and the environment of family life, society at large or
the working environment
6. Competency is described as an accumulation of a person's ability to carry out a measurable work
description through a structured assessment, including aspects of independence and individual
responsibility in the field of work.
The six parameters are categorized into four main domains, illustrated in Exhibit B, namely:
1. Attitude and Values (parameter 5);
2. Mastery of knowledge (parameter 1,2,3);
3. Ability to work in his field of expertise (parameter4); and
4. Authority and Responsibility (parameter 6).
The attitudes and values described in the IQF are applied on every level, while the other three
domains, which are:
1. Mastery of knowledge explains the scientific branch that is mastered and the person's ability to
demonstrate the level of mastery.
2. Ability to work in his field of expertise explains the ability of a person who is in accordance with
the relevant field of work in terms of using appropriate methods / techniques and achieving
results with appropriate quality levels, and understanding the conditions or standards of the
process of carrying out the work.
3. Authority and responsibility explain the scope of a person's responsibility and the minimum
authority that he has to carry out the work under his responsibility.
Exhibit B. Four domains of IQF descriptors: Attitude and Values (as general description),
Work Ability (paragraph 1 at each levels), Authority and Responsibilities (paragraph 3 at each levels),
Mastery of knowledge (paragraph 2 at each levels).
Internalization of attitudes and accumulation of the three qualification parameters are included in
each level of qualification and are achieved through a structured process of education and training
and through work experience. The full level achieved by each qualification level in the IQF is stated
by the term Learning Outcomes, which in English is equated with the term of Learning Outcomes, in
accordance with the EU Commission's definition in explaining the European Qualifications
Framework: ‘…statements of what an individual should know, understand and/or be able to do at the
end of a learning process’ (http://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/events-and-projects/projects
/learning-outcomes)
In its application, the qualification levels in the IQF are a neutral reference to equalize the learning
outcomes obtained through formal learning with the achievement of learning in non-formal learning
(courses and regular training), or learning outcomes which are obtained through work training, or
learning outcomes that comes through work experience.
Schematically, achieving each level or increasing to a higher level in the IQF can be done through
four pathways or a combination of the four. The mentioned pathways as illustrated in Exhibit C
consist of pathways through formal education, career advancement in the workplace, self-learning,
as well as advancing through professional certification. The work training, regular training, short
courses are means of learning that can facilitate the advancement of working career, professional
levels.

Exhibit C. The IQF level can be achieved through four pathways i.e. formal
education with degree as the output, career advancement in the workplace,
self-learning, as well as advancing through professional certification.
With this approach, the IQF can be used as a reference by four stakeholders who use their respective
approaches in increasing the qualifications level. The formal education sector, for example, can
utilize IQF as a reference in planning higher education systems in Indonesia so that it can properly
locate the graduates’ qualification levels and estimate their equality with career paths. On the other
hand, graduate users, such as industry associations or users in general, can also refer to the IQF to
estimate the qualifications held by job seekers and position them at the career level, and provide
appropriate remuneration. Likewise to the work experience which can be compared and
synchronized with the IQF qualification level. The same thing can also be done by professional
divisions in the jurisdiction of professional associations. Stakeholders from the broader community
group are also recognized as having certain qualification levels through RPL or Recognition of
Current Competences (RCC) mechanisms.
The most important factor of the IQF's referencing process to AQRF is to ensure that any
qualification produced by formal or non-formal learning is to receive a place in the framework of
national qualifications. Therefore, the education system in Indonesia must be able to be
comprehensively described and the learning outcomes produced by the system can be properly
translated into qualifications within the IQF. The comprehensive information regarding the
24 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
education system is described in Criterion I, whilst the national standards and quality assurance
supporting Indonesia education system is presented in Criterion V and VI, respectively.
The reference process for the description of the IQF is conducted using the Best Fit In method in the
description of AQRF by previously aligning the four domains of IQF with two AQRF domains, as
illustrated in Exhibit D.

Comprehensions Skills Skills
Exhibit D. The alignment of four domains of IQF with the two domains of AQRF.
The domain of attitudes and values is not specifically stated in the AQRF domain because (1) this
domain of attitudes and values is an embodiment of Indonesian Nation identity which is specific to
Indonesia, and (2) this domain is the foundation of both AQRF domains. The domain of Mastery of
knowledge and Ability to work in their fields of expertise are included in the Knowledge and
Comprehensions and Skills domain of AQRF, while the domain of Authority and Responsibility is
included in the Application and Responsibility domain.
The level alignment of IQF and AQRF can be stated in the illustration in Exhibit E. The red arrow
indicates the weight of the IQF description while the blue arrow indicates the weight of the AQRF
description. The longer the red arrow, the more dominant IQF is compared to the AQRF; and vice
versa if the blue arrow is longer. The above mentioned is factually describing the best fit in method
utilized in comparing, associating, linking, equating or equaling descriptors IQF and AQRF.

Exhibit E. The Illustration of level descriptors allignment between IQF and AQRF.
As can be seen from Exhibit E, only two levels are equivalent between IQF and AQRF, in which IQF
level six is equal to AQRF level five and IQF level seven is equal to AQRF level six. Above that
common levels, level eight and level nine of IQF are comparable to level seven and level eight of
AQRF respectively, with little difference since the AQRF scope is fuller than IQF. On the other side,
the IQF level five has greater scope compared to AQRF level four. Below that, there are significant
differences among lower levels. The IQF level three and four should be combined to be aligned into
AQRF level III. Similarly, the IQF levels two and one are aligned together to AQRF level two. Then,
level one of AQRF does not match with any level of IQF. The detailed comparison of each level and
the respective domains are given in the Criterion IV.
The process of drafting this referencing document is carried out by the Indonesian Qualifications
National Committee/Komite Nasional Kompetensi Indonesia (IQNC/KNKI) which established on
October 15, 2018 through the issuance of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher
Education Decree 49 of 2018. Complete information regarding this body is described in Criterion II.
IQNC is responsible to provide a valid, reliable and trusted outcome of referencing. For doing so,
several important key processes are designed as follow.
1. IQNC establishes objectives, target, funding mechanism, agreed on processes required to deliver
the desired results including the time line.
2. IQNC established the collaborative source of funding for the referencing process.
3. IQNC Committee formed a task force for referencing; including planned and carried out all
activities by weekly performance indicator, as well as evaluated and undertook small adjustment
to narrow the gap between target and process, problems, non-conformities, inefficiencies and
other issues.
4. Documentation of process and output is carried out by task force, office of IQNC, staffs from
Quality Assurance Directorate – Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education/
The INQC is responsible for the whole process of referencing up to endorsement of the final
document which already encloses endorsement from all relevant stakeholders involved in the
referencing process.
The drafting of IQF referencing report to AQRF is started right after the establishment of INQC in
November 2018. The process yielded a first referencing document, covering only of Criterion I to III,
and submitted to the AQRF Committee on April 8, 2019.
After received various comment from the AQRF Committee, the revision of Criterion I to III and
drafting Criterion IV to VII is carried out through a number of meetings with the relevant
stakeholders. The script was reviewed by various representatives, consisting of ministries
representatives, state institutions, and professional communities under the coordination of IQNC.
Process, involvement, meeting and discussion results of those relevant stakeholders are explained in
the Criterion VII. After completion of the referencing process Criterion I to VII, one international
expert in qualifications framework is invited to conduct an independent review of this text. The
comment from the international reviewer is presented in the Criterion I, and the revision(s) made
based on the reviewer’s comment is incorporated throughout Criterion I to VII.
The document of the referencing process of Indonesian Qualifications Framework (IQF) to the
ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF) is prepared in accord with The AQRF Referencing
Guidelines - September 2016. The document covers Criterion I to IX.
The first version of the script containing Criterion I, II, and III has been submitted on April 8, 2019,
thus information regarding these three Criteria is a revised version from the first document, whilst
information of Criterion IV to VIII is the first version.

Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
Every Indonesian citizen has the right and opportunity to attain education, without discrimination of
gender, ethnic, race, religion, social, and economical background, except for certain units of
particular education. The objective of education in Indonesia is to facilitate a learning process and
atmosphere where learners can actively develop their potential to attain religious and noble
character, intelligence, and skills that enable them to contribute in the society worldwide.
Among the 49 ministries and institutions that provision formal or non-formal education, there are
two main ministries that have main tasks directly related to education functions, which are:
1. The Ministry of Education and Culture/Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan
(MoEC/Kemendikbud) based on Law 20 of 2003 on the National Education System; and
2. The Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education/Kementerian Riset, Teknologi, and
Pendidikan Tinggi (MoRTHE/Kemenristekdikti) based on Law 12 of 2012 on Higher Education.
Institutions that provision formal and non-formal education must obtain operational licenses from
the government. The government is also authorized to close any formal learning institutions, if the
quality of implementation does not meet the national education standards or harms the community.
Institutions that provision formal education must internally perform a quality assurance process and
must be assessed by external quality assurance institutions that obtain authority from the
Government.
In order to manage a fair comprehension of the National Education System of Indonesia, three main
terminologies must be properly understood, namely level, path, and type of education. In an
attempt to clarify the differences among each terminology, a comparison based on definition and
examples is presented in Table 1.1.
In general, the National Education System is governed under Law on the National Education System
with specific governing for higher education under Law on Higher Education. Learning outcomes
within the Indonesian Education System are recognized in the form of certificates and competency
certifications. Certificates are awarded to learners as an acknowledgment toward their learning
achievements or completion of a level of education after passing a test administered by an
accredited education unit. Meanwhile, competency certifications are awarded to learners and
society members as an acknowledgment toward their competency in performing certain work after
passing a competency test administered by an accredited education unit or certification body.
The first categorization in the National Education System is based on path of education, which is
divided into formal, non-formal, and informal education. Within each path of education, there exists
a leveling structure, consisting mainly of early childhood education/pendidikan anak usia dini
(ECE/PAUD), basic education/pendidikan dasar, secondary education/pendidikan menengah, and
higher education/pendidikan tinggi. At the most detailed level, categorization is based on certain
types of education, including kindergarten education, primary school education, junior secondary
school education, senior secondary school education, vocational secondary school education,
second chance education, courses, work training, homeschooling, etc. It is important to note that
the National Education System adheres to an open education system that implements the concept
of multi-entry, multi-exit, where learners are allowed to pursue a type of education, then proceed to
a higher level of education in another type of education, either remaining in one path of education
or changing paths. The overall mapping of the National Education System is presented in Table 1.2.
Another important note is that the provision of other certain types of education in the National
Education System, such as Islamic based education, distance learning education, inclusive education,
special education for impaired learners, special education for gifted and talented learners, as well as
special services education for learners that are facing disadvantaged conditions (learners in prisons,
in remote areas, in disaster affected areas, etc.) do exist and are implemented accordingly, but are
not shown in Table 1.2. In particular, Islamic based education are provisioned in formal ECE, basic
education, and secondary education, as well as non-formal second chance education.
To provide better understanding, the National Education System is compared to the International

Formal education is defined in Law on the National Education System as “structured and tiered
educational path consisting of basic education, secondary education, and higher education”. This
path of education is aimed to form learners as whole humans in accordance to one’s nature, namely
a person who believes and fears God, has a noble character, is democratic and upholds humanity
values, masters knowledge, technology, and art. This path of education has characteristics in which:
(1) emphasizes more on intellectual development; (2) participants are homogeneous; (3) contents of
education are formally programmed; (4) structured, tiered, and continuous; (5) scheduled with a
relatively long learning time; (6) the way to implement education is formal; (7) education evaluation
is conducted periodically and systematically; (8) graduation is characterized by the issuance of a
diploma and awarding a degree. As partially stated in its definition, the main types of formal
education are ECE in the form of general and Islamic based kindergartens, basic education,
secondary education, and higher education.
Early childhood education is defined in Law on the National Education System as “a nurturing effort
aimed at children from birth to the age of six years implemented through the provision of
educational stimuli to help growth as well as physical and mental development so that children
are ready to advance their education”. The main target of this education level is to help optimize
the physical and mental growth and development of behavior, knowledge, and skills of learners in a
holistic, integrative, progressive, and sustainable manner. At the end of ECE, learners are expected
to be physically and mentally prepared to enter the basic education system and be successful in their
learning efforts.
Provision
ECE can be provisioned in all paths of education, either it be formal, non-formal, or informal. Formal
ECE, however, is only provisioned for learners at age group of 4-6 years in kindergartens, raudatul
athfals, or bustanul athfals. Raudatul athfals and bustanul athfals are both Islamic based ECE
providers under the supervision of the MoRA and are considered equal to kindergartens, which are
under the supervision of the MoEC. The difference between the two Islamic based ECE providers is
that bustanul athfals are formed and heavily influenced by the Muhammadiyah organization, while
raudatul athfals are formed by other Islamic organizations.
Since the enactment of Government Regulation 2 of 2018 on Standards for Minimum Services, all
citizens age five to six years have the right to receive ECE services prior to entering the basic
education system. Hence, one year learning prior to entering the basic education system at the ECE
level is now compulsory (compulsory learning). This policy is in line with Target 1 of the UNESCO
Post-2015 Education Goals and Targets that stipulates:
By 2030, at least x% of girls and boys are ready for primary school through participation in
quality early childhood care and education, including at least one year of free and compulsory
pre-primary education, with particular attention to gender equality and the most marginalized.
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes for formal ECE is currently reflected in Regulation of the Minister of Education
and Culture 137 of 2014 on National Standards for ECE, specifically addressed in Appendix I on
Standards for Content for Levels of Child Development Achievement, Age Group 4-6 Years. The
Standards consist of six scopes of development, which are (1) religious and moral values; (2) physical
status and motor skills (gross, fine, and health and safety behavior); (3) cognitive skills (learning and
problem solving, logical thinking, and symbolic thinking); (4) language skills (understanding,
expressing, and characters); (5) social skills and emotional status (self-awareness, sense of self-
responsibility and responsibility for others, and socialized behavior); and art skills (ability to enjoy
music and sounds and interest in artistic activities). Further details on the learning outcomes for
formal ECE can be referred to in the aforementioned document.

Formal basic education (pendidikan dasar) is defined in Law on the National Education System as
“level of education that serves as the foundation for secondary education”. The main target of this
education level is to help optimizing the development of behavior, knowledge, and skills of learners
in a holistic, integrative, progressive, and sustainable manner. At the end of pursuing basic education
(graduation from Grade 9), learners are expected to possess:
1. behavior that resembles attitudes of faith and piousness in the One and Only God; good
character, honest, and compassionate; responsible; a life-long learner; as well as physically and
mentally healthy suitable to expected child development within their family, school, societal and
natural surroundings, as well as country, national, and regional settings;
2. factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge in a basic technical and specific
manner pertaining to science, technology, arts, and culture with the ability to put the
aforementioned knowledge in proper context, either it be within themselves, the settings of
their family, school, and societal and natural surroundings, as well as country, national, and
regional settings; and
3. skills to think and act in a creative, productive, critical, independent, collaborative, and
communicative manner using scientific approaches that have been learned at school or
independently.
Provision
Formal basic education comprises of nine compulsory grade levels (part of compulsory learning),
consisting of six grade levels in primary schools (grades 1 to 6) followed by three grade levels in
junior secondary schools (grades 7 to 9). As with ECE, there are two major groups of schools in this
level of education, which are general schools (under the supervision of the MoEC) and Islamic based
schools (under the supervision of the MoRA). Islamic based primary schools are named madrasah
ibtidaiyah, while the junior secondary schools are named madrasah tsanawiyah.
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes for formal basic education is currently reflected in Regulation of the Minister of
Education and Culture 20 of 2016 on Standards for Graduate Competences at the Basic and
Secondary Education Levels and further elaborated in Regulation of the Minister of Education and
37 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
Culture 21 of 2016 on Standards for Content at the Basic and Secondary Education Levels. The
learning outcomes are typically designed to cover three aspects of competences, which are
behavior, knowledge, and skills. Further details on the current learning outcomes for formal basic
education can be referred to in the aforementioned documents.
It is important to note, however, that the ANSE is currently in the process of revising both
aforementioned standards to better suit current advancements in civilization and needs of the
nation, including better referencing towards the IQF. Following the enactment of Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture 34 of 2018 on National Standards for Vocational Secondary
Schools, the new format introduced for Standards for Graduate Competences as well as Standards
for Content has been planned to be consistently reapplied for other Basic and Secondary Educations.
The new format includes a new framework consisting of the following seven competency areas: (1)
faith and piousness toward the One and Only God; (2) nationalism and love for the country; (3)
personal and social character; (4) literacy; (5) physical and mental health; (6) creativity; and (7)
esthetics. The new standards are targeted to provide better understanding on the demanded
learning outcomes through simpler statements and improved structure.
In addition, learning loads for Grades 1 to 5 and the first semester of Grade 6 are structured to be
provisioned between 18-20 weeks. For the second semester of Grade 6, learning is provisioned
between 14-16 weeks. Hence, the learning load in one year of study is provisioned between 36-40
weeks.
On the other hand, learning loads for formal basic education at junior secondary schools are
reflected in Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 78 of 2013 on the Basic Framework
and Structure for Junior Secondary School and Madrasah Tsanawiyah Curriculums. The learning
loads, also represented by amount of learning time per week, are steadily set at 38 conceptual hours
from Grade 7 to Grade 9, where the actual duration of one-hour study in junior secondary schools is
increased to 40 minutes.
In addition, learning loads for Grades 7 to 8 and the first semester of Grade 9 are structured to be
provisioned between 18-20 weeks. For the second semester of Grade 9, learning is provisioned
between 14-16 weeks. Hence, as with Grades 1 to 6, the learning load for Grades 7 to 9 in one year
of study is also provisioned between 36-40 weeks. Comparison of amount of learning time per week
in the formal basic education system across primary and junior secondary schools is presented in
Table 1.5.

Standard School Examination, and INAP, as well as the work of the NAA-SM are elaborated in
Criterion VI.
In terms of vertical movement, learners in formal basic education must pass each grade prior to the
grade level he/she intends to enter, mainly proven in the form of academic achievement and other
additional notes on behavior and non-academic achievements in the report card/book. Additional
requirements will apply when transitioning from primary school to junior secondary school, where
schools will request for primary school diploma. In some cases, certain schools might specifically
request for learners’ achievement in the National Standard School Examination.
Formal secondary education (pendidikan menengah) is defined in Law on the National Education
System as “continuance level of education from basic education”. The main target of this education
level is to help optimize the development of behavior, knowledge, and skills of learners in a holistic,
integrative, progressive, and sustainable manner. At the end of pursuing secondary education
(graduation from Grade 12), learners are expected to possess:
1. behavior that resembles attitudes of faith and piousness in the One and Only God; good
character, honest, and compassionate; responsible; a life-long learner; as well as physically and
mentally healthy suitable to expected child development within their family, school, societal and
natural surroundings, as well as country, national, regional, and international settings;
2. factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge in a technical, specific, detail, and
complex manner pertaining to science, technology, arts, culture, and humanities with the ability
40 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
to put the aforementioned knowledge in proper context, either it be within themselves, the
settings of their family, school, and societal and natural surroundings, as well as country,
national, regional, and international settings; and
3. skills to think and act in a creative, productive, critical, independent, collaborative, and
communicative manner using scientific approaches that have been further developed based on
learnings at school or independently.
Provision
Formal secondary education, provisioned for three or four years, consists of general and vocational
secondary education. Senior secondary schools (under the supervision of the MoEC) and madrasah
aliyahs (under the supervision of the MoRA) provision general secondary education, while vocational
secondary schools (under the supervision of the MoEC) and vocational madrasah aliyahs (under the
supervision of the MoRA) provision vocational secondary education. The option for provision of four
years study is only available for certain vocational secondary educations.
The current curriculum requires learners in general secondary education to select a specific field of
interest (bidang peminatan), which options include Math and Natural Science, Social Sciences, and
Language and Cultural Sciences. Additional options are made available by the MoRA especially for
madrasah aliyahs. Selections are made based the report card/book from junior secondary school or
madrasah tsanawiyah, results from the National Exam, recommendation from the junior secondary
school or madrasah tsanawiyah counselor, placement test results when applying for senior
secondary education, as well as talent and interest test results by a psychologist.
Specialization also applies to vocational secondary education, where learners are required to select a
specific field of expertise (bidang keahlian) and expertise program (program keahlian), which
options for field of expertise include Technology and Engineering, Information and Communication
Technology, Health, Agribusiness and Agrotechnology, Fisheries and Marine, Business and
Management, Tourism, Visual Arts and Craft, and Performing Arts. Additional options are made
available by the MoRA especially for vocational madrasah aliyahs. Selections are initially made when
deciding to enter vocational secondary education, as schools will typically focus on offering a
particular field of expertise consisting of one or more expertise program(s). In the third semester,
learners will be required to deepen their studies by selecting a particular expertise package (paket
keahlian) based on their report card/book, recommendation from the school counselor, or
placement test results by a psychologist.
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes for formal general secondary education is currently reflected in Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture on Standards for Graduate Competences at the Basic and
Secondary Education Levels and further elaborated in Regulation of the Minister of Education and
Culture on Standards for Content at the Basic and Secondary Education Levels. As with basic
education, the learning outcomes are typically designed to cover three aspects of competences,
which are behavior, knowledge, and skills. Further details on the current learning outcomes for
formal general secondary education can be referred to in the aforementioned documents.
On the other hand, learning outcomes for formal vocational secondary education is currently
reflected in Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture on National Standards for
Vocational Secondary Schools, specifically in the appendices on Standards for Graduate
Competences and Standards for Content. In line with the formal general secondary education, the
learning outcomes are typically designed to cover three aspects of competences, which are
behavior, knowledge, and skills. The Standards for Graduate Competences and Standards for
Content for vocational secondary education have introduced a new format that are targeted to
provide better understanding on the demanded learning outcomes through simpler statements and
improved structure. The new format includes a new framework consisting of the following nine
competency areas: (1) faith and piousness toward the One and Only God; (2) nationalism and love
for the country; (3) personal and social character; (4) literacy; (5) physical and mental health; (6)
creativity; (7) esthetics; (8) technical ability; and (9) entrepreneurship.
As part of the curriculum to obtain practical work experience, formal vocational secondary schools
will require their learners to undertake fieldwork practice (praktik kerja lapangan) or industrial work
practice (praktik kerja industri) in their last year of studies (Grade 12 or 13). Fieldwork practice can
be assumed to be a more general term than industrial work practice, with the only difference being
that the industrial work practice is done specifically at an industrial site. As listed in Regulation of the
Minister of Industry 3/M-IND/PER/1/2017 on Establishment and Development Guidelines for
Competency-based Vocational Secondary Schools that Link and Match with the Industry, industrial
work practice is defined as “curricular work practice in industrial companies or companies within
the industrial estate as part of the vocational education curriculum to master skills or expertise in
the industrial field”.
It is important to note again here that, as discussed earlier in the basic education section, the ANSE
is currently in the process of revising the National Standards for Secondary Education, including both
the Standards for Graduate Competences and Standards for Content for general secondary
education. The intention is to ensure that the standards are better suited to accommodate current
advancements in civilization and needs of the nation, including better referencing towards the IQF.
The learning loads, represented by amount of time per week, are gradually increased from 42
conceptual hours in Grade 10 to 44 conceptual hours in Grade 12, where the actual duration of one-
hour study in senior secondary schools is set at 45 minutes. Included in the aforementioned learning
loads are time allocated specifically for learning in a certain chosen field of interest, which starts
from 18 conceptual hours (approximately 13.5 actual hours) per week in Grade 10 to 20 conceptual
hours (approximately 15 actual hours) per week in Grade 12. Formal general secondary education
providers are allowed to add the amount of learning time per week based on considerations to fulfill
42 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
certain additional needs of learners, including needs related to academics, social, culture, or other
factors that are considered important for the learners.
In addition, learning loads for Grades 10 to 12 and the first semester of Grade 12 are structured to
be provisioned between 18-20 weeks. For the second semester of Grade 12, learning is provisioned
between 14-16 weeks. Hence, the learning load in one year of study is provisioned between 36-40
weeks.
On the other hand, learning loads for formal vocational secondary education at vocational secondary
schools are reflected in Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 70 of 2013 on the Basic
Framework and Structure for Vocational Secondary School and Vocational Madrasah Aliyah
Curriculums. The learning loads, also represented by amount of learning time per week, are steadily
set at 48 conceptual hours per week from Grade 10 to Grade 12 or Grade 13, where the duration of
one-hour study in vocational secondary schools is set at 45 minutes. Included in the aforementioned
learning loads are time allocated specifically for vocational learning in a chosen field of expertise,
which are steadily set at 24 conceptual hours (approximately 18 actual hours) per week from Grade
10 to 12 or 13. Formal vocational secondary education providers are allowed to add the amount of
learning time per week based on considerations to fulfill certain additional needs of learners,
including needs related to academics, social, culture, or other factors that are considered important
for the learners.
In addition, learning loads for Grades 10 to 11 and the first semester of Grade 12 in 3-year programs
or Grades 10 to 12 and the first semester of Grade 13 in 4-year programs is structured to be
provisioned between 18-20 weeks. For the second semester of Grade 9 in 3-year programs or Grade
10 in 4-year programs, learning is provisioned between 14-16 weeks. Hence, as with formal general
secondary education, the learning load for Grades 10 to 12 or 13 in one year of study is also
provisioned between 36-40 weeks. Comparison of amount of learning time per week in the formal
secondary education system for both general and vocational secondary schools is presented in Table
1.7.

school counselor.
Higher education (pendidikan tinggi) is defined in Law on Higher Education as “level of education
after secondary education that includes diploma, bachelor, master, doctor, profession, and
specialist educational programs run by higher education institutions based on Indonesian culture”.
It is a scientific institution that functions as a cultural center, a pillar of the nation, and a driver of
social change towards an advanced democratic community. The role of higher education is a place of
education for prospective national leaders; participant and community learning hub; the center of
development of knowledge and technology; as well as the center of virtue and moral strength to
seek and find the truth.
2. yield graduates that master certain fields of science and technology to fulfil national interests
and improve the competitiveness of the nation;
3. generate science and technology through research that takes into consideration and implements
humanism values to benefit the advancement of the nation, as well as advancement in
civilization and people welfare; and
4. materialize community service based on logic and research work that is useful in the
advancement of public welfare and the intellectual aspect of the life of the nation.
Provision
Two major categories in the Higher Education System in Indonesia are academic higher education
(pendidikan tinggi akademik) and specific higher education (pendidikan tinggi spesifik). The
definition of each group, as well as types of programs in which each can provide is summarized in

Government or private sector institutions can provision higher education in the form of universities
(universitas), institutes (institut), polytechnics (politeknik), colleges/schools (sekolah tinggi),
academies (akademi), and community college (akademi komunitas). The definition of each form of
institution, as well as type of education in which each can provide is summarized in Table 1.10.
Table 1.10. Types of Education Provided per Form of Higher Education Institution
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes in higher education is part of the autonomy rights of each higher education
institution. Each study program may choose to compose its own learning outcomes or tailor one
based on a given template. Given this situation, description on higher education learning outcomes
will be illustrated in general by comparisons among types of education and types of program.
Comparison of learning outcomes between academic and practical higher education in terms of
general outcome and nature of learning aspects is described in Table 1.11.

Table 1.12. Comparison of Learning Outcomes among Types of Higher Education Programs
In higher education, the acquirement of competences in attitude, knowledge, and skills is partially
obtained through work experience, which is either generally categorized as an internship (kerja
praktik) or an apprenticeship (pemagangan). It is important to note that in practice the term
internship is often used interchangeably among higher education institutions with fieldwork practice
(praktik kerja lapangan), community service studies (kuliah kerja nyata), or a varied version of the
three terms. For the purpose of providing consistency in this Report, however, each term will
defined and referred to as follows:
1. Internship (kerja praktik) is a short-term period of supervised training required for qualifying

Table 1.14. Expected Types of Activities and Estimated Time Allocated per Credit Unit in
Undergraduate Level Programs
As for graduate level programs, estimated time allocated per credit unit per type of activity is based
on the expert judgment of each professor responsible for designing and implementing the courses.
Some professors might refer to nationally or internationally recognized guidelines, while others
might decide to self-tailor the design of their courses based on personal experimentation or
experience.

In facilitating this movement, each higher education institution has the autonomy to develop and
implement its own credit transfer system. The current general practice is that most higher education
institutions will require learners that plan to move horizontally across study programs, types of
higher education, or higher education institutions to retake the designated-entrance examination
and propose credits to transfer after being accepted in the new program.
In terms of vertical movement, learners in higher education can move between types of higher
education once they graduate from one program and decide to advance their education. Typically,
an equality process (proses penyetaraan) will take place, which will determine how sufficient are the
learning outcomes from a learner’s prior degree to meet the prerequisites of the intended advanced
education. If a learner’s prior degree is found to be insufficient, then they will be offered several
types of options to fulfill the prerequisites, including taking and completing one or more prerequisite
courses or proposing a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) review. Further details about the RPL
system is discussed in Criterion III.

learners, attending private higher education institutions. The number of learners per gender and
status of higher education institution ownership is presented in Table 1.17.
The study programs held in all of these higher education institutions are recorded as much as 27,958
study programs and can be in the form of diploma education programs, undergraduate, master,
specialist and doctoral degrees. Study programs are organized based on the analysis of graduates'
needs or solid science and technology, to ensure a real contribution to the nation and country in a
sustainable manner. The development of study programs is in programs that grow from the needs of
the government, industry, the science development that has character of inter, multi, or
transdisciplinary with a more accountable licensing process in terms of program quality.
Each of the study programs must have specific body of knowledge and learning outcomes relevant
to the name of the study program. Currently 27,958 running study programs are categorized into
nomenclature of the name of the study program, which is regulated by series of ministries and
director general decrees.
Non-formal education is defined in Law on the National Education System as “a structured and
tiered manner path of education outside formal education”. This path of education is positioned to
compliment formal education in order to support lifelong learning programs. The main forms of non-
formal education are ECE beyond general and Islamic based kindergartens, second chance
education, community homeschooling, courses, and work training. Other non-formal learning
services include life skills education, youth education, education for women empowerment, basic
literacy education (pendidikan keaksaraan), and other types of education appointed to develop the
abilities of learners.
At the end of this section, in an attempt to help clarify the differences between courses and work
training, a special sub-section will be dedicated to compare and contrast both types of non-formal
education.
As defined earlier in the formal education section, ECE is “a nurturing effort aimed at children from
birth to the age of six years implemented through the provision of educational stimuli to help
growth as well as physical and mental development so that children are ready to advance their
education”. It was also stated that the main target of this education level is to help optimize the
physical and mental growth and development of behavior, knowledge, and skills of learners in a
holistic, integrative, progressive, and sustainable manner. At the end of ECE, learners are expected
to be physically and mentally prepared to enter the basic education system and be successful in their
learning efforts.
Provision
ECE can be provisioned in all paths of education, either it be formal, non-formal, or informal. Non-
formal ECE is provisioned for all age groups in ECE, which are birth-2 years, 2-4 years, and 4-6 years.
In term of providers, playgroups can only provision ECE for age groups 2-4 years and 4-6 years, while
child care centers (CCC) and other similar ECE units can provision ECE for all age groups in ECE. All
non-formal ECE providers are under the supervision of the MoEC.
Government Regulation on the Standards for Minimum Services affects non-formal ECE providers, as
well, since they can also provision ECE for citizens aged five to six years that have the right to receive
compulsory ECE services prior to entering the basic education system. Again, this policy is in line
with Target 1 of the UNESCO Post-2015 Education Goals and Targets that stipulates:
By 2030, at least x% of girls and boys are ready for primary school through participation in
quality early childhood care and education, including at least one year of free and compulsory
pre-primary education, with particular attention to gender equality and the most marginalized.
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes for non-formal ECE is currently reflected in Regulation of the Minister of
Education and Culture on National Standards for ECE, specifically addressed per age groups in
Appendix I on Standards for Content for Level of Child Development Achievement. The Standards
consist of six scopes of development, which are (1) religious and moral values; (2) physical status and
motor skills (gross, fine, and health and safety behavior); (3) cognitive skills (learning and problem
solving, logical thinking, and symbolic thinking); (4) language skills (understanding, expressing, and
characters); (5) social skills and emotional status (self-awareness, sense of self-responsibility and
responsibility for others, and socialized behavior); and art skills (ability to enjoy music and sounds
and interest in artistic activities). Further details on the learning outcomes for non-formal ECE can be
referred to in the aforementioned document.

Provision
As described in its definition, second chance education can be provisioned in four different
programs, which are A Program (equal to education at primary schools), B Program (equal to
education at junior secondary schools), C Program (equal to education at senior secondary schools),
and Vocational C Program (equal to education at vocational secondary schools); all under the
supervision of the MoEC. As with formal education, Islamic based versions of this non-formal
education, except for Vocational C Program, are also provisioned but under the supervision of the
MoRA. The equal Islamic based programs to A, B, and C Programs are Ulla, Wustha, and Ulya
Programs, respectively.
There are a variety of non-formal educational units that can provision second chance education,
which include the following listed below.
1. Courses Institutions and Training Institutions (Lembaga Kursus dan Lembaga Pelatihan), which
are educational units that provision education for the society to obtain life skills and professional
personality as well as to advance their education;
2. Study Groups (Kelompok Belajar), which are educational units consisting of a group of society
members that help each other by learning from their collective experience and skills in
improving their quality and level of living.
3. Society Learning Centers (Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat), which are educational units that
provision various learning activities according to the needs of the society based on the initiative
from, by, and for the society.
4. Majelis Taklims, which are places to teach or recite the Holy Quran for people that wish to delve
into Islamic teachings as a means to preach and teach the religion.
Learning outcomes
In general, since second chance education is grouped based on the grouping of formal basic and
secondary education, i.e. A Program equals to basic education at primary schools, B Program equals
to basic education at junior secondary schools, C Program equals to general secondary education,
and Vocational C Program equals to vocational secondary education, the learning outcomes for each
pair are quite similar. The main difference is that second chance education requires a minor amount
of learning to immediately improve their everyday lives. Each program will have different emphases,
e.g. A Program will expect the acquirement of skills to support everyday living, B Program will expect
the acquirement of skills demanded by the workforce, and C Program will expect the acquirement of
entrepreneurial skills. Overall, however, learning outcomes for each second chance education
program can generally be referred to the learning outcomes of its counterpart in formal education.
It is important to note that the ANSE has already developed the National Standards for Second
Chance Education, where the proposed standard is currently in process of being enacted through a
Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture.
chance education learners may complete their program faster than, similar to, or longer than their
equal counterparts in formal education.
Learning loads for second chance education programs are directed in Regulation of the Minister of
National Education 3 of 2008 on Standards for Process at the A Program, B Program, and C Program
Second Chance Education. The learning loads are stated in competency credit units that represent
the competency load required from each learner to achieve in their learning programs through,
either face-to-face learning, tutorials, or independent studying. Competency credit units can be used
to transfer competency credits obtained from informal and formal pathways, as well as other forms
of non-formal education.
In all second chance education programs, one competency credit unit is calculated based on
considerations pertaining to relevant competency standards (standar kompetensi) and basic
competences (kompetensi dasar) of each subject that is achieved through one conceptual hour of
face-to-face learning, two conceptual hours of tutorials, three conceptual hours of independent
studying, or a proportional combination of the three. The proportional combination of the three
must meet the following rules, which are a minimum of 20 percent face-to-face learning, a minimum
of 30 percent tutorials, and a maximum of 50 percent independent studying. It is important to note
that one conceptual hour for the A, B, and C Program equals to 35, 40, and 45 actual minutes,
respectively. The learning load arrangement for each program is described in Table 1.20.

As with the case in horizontal movement in basic and secondary formal education, unless it is simply
a change in paths of education, in most cases the horizontal movement will likely come with
consequences that the learner might have to retake a grade or two to take certain subjects that
were not available in his/her previous studies, but are now required. This is especially the case for
general second chance program learners that wish to move to an equal Islamic based program or
vice versa, or to a vocational program or vice versa.
Use of the National Exam results and program diplomas are also instrumental in facilitating vertical
movement, either it be continuing to a more advanced second chance education program or moving
pathways to a more advanced formal education. This is especially the case for B Program/Wustha
Program learners that wish to continue to the C Program/Vocational C Program/Ulya Program or C
Program/ Vocational C Program/Ulya Program learners that wish to continue to higher education.
based second chance education programs. It is worth noting that community learning centers (pusat
kegiatan belajar masyarakat), which provision the majority of second chance education programs,
are also recognized as the education unit that provisions community homeschooling. Therefore, the
numbers presented must be understood as a combination of both types of education programs.
1.2.3. Homeschooling
Homeschooling is defined in Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture on the Provision of
Homeschooling as “the process of educational service that is purposely planned and provisioned
by parents or families at home or in other places in the form of single, compound, and community,
where the learning process can transpire in a conducive surrounding so that every unique
potential of a learner can develop to its maximum”. In general, the goal for provision of this type of
non-formal education is to:
1. fulfill services of quality basic and secondary education for learners from families that choose to
educate their children through homeschooling;
2. serve learners that need academic and life skills education in a flexible manner to improve their
quality of life; and
3. fulfill educational services in a conscious, regular, directed, and structured manner by putting
forward the development and implementation of independent learning that is provisioned by
family and their surroundings where learning it planned to occur at home and other designated
places in a conducive community environment to maximize the development of each learner’s
unique potential.
Provision
There are three forms of homeschooling that are recognized in Indonesia, which are single
homeschooling (sekolahrumah tunggal), compound homeschooling (sekolahrumah majemuk), and
community homeschooling (sekolahrumah komunitas). Of the three forms, only one is considered to
be non-formal education, community homeschooling, while the other two are considered to be
informal. Community homeschooling is defined in Regulation of the Minister of Education and
Culture on the Provision of Homeschooling as “study group formed by a combination of compound
homeschools performing collective learning based on a syllabus, as well as shared learning
facilities, time, and material jointly developed by the compound homeschools for homeschooling
learners, which include determining several learning activities consisting of sports, music/arts,
language, and others”.
Learning outcomes
Curriculum for community homeschooling must refer to either the national formal education
curriculum or the national equality education curriculum. Thus, community homeschooling will have
similar learning outcomes to the chosen national curriculum. Differences may occur on the width or
depth of learning depending on the interest, potential, and needs of the learners.
and time, outside the time agreed upon for the community to convene and learn together as a
group. This means that community homeschooling learners may complete their studies faster than,
similar to, or longer than their equal counterpart in formal or non-formal education.

placement test provisioned by the intended school. The same mechanism applies for entering senior
secondary schools, but requires applicants to pass the National Exam for junior secondary schools or
second chance education B Program.
1.2.4. Courses
Courses (kursus) is defined as “non-formal education that provides continual learning for learners
that need additional abilities in self-development, work, self-employment, or pursuance of a
higher education with an emphasis on mastery of skills and competency standards, development
of an entrepreneurship attitude, as well as development of professional personality”. Courses
under the supervision of the MoEC are implemented in a flexible manner in order to meet the
demands and relevancy of business and industrial current and future developments. Specifically,
courses are developed and provisioned to enhance working ability or to equip knowledge and skills
of community members for self-development, professional development, work, entrepreneurship,
or continue their education to a higher level within the framework of life skills education. It is
important to note that the minimum age requirement to take part in courses recognized by IQF is 15
years.
Provision
Courses can be provisioned by Government and private courses institutions and training institutions.
There are four groups of courses and training institutions under supervision of the MoEC:
1. International level courses and training institutions, which have fulfilled the National Education
Standards with additional traits that are required for international competitiveness;
2. Courses and training institutions with National Education Standards, which have fulfilled the
National Education Standards that are required for national competitiveness;
3. Courses and training institutions that provide Minimum Services Standards (Standar Pelayanan
Minimum), which have fulfilled the minimum services requirements in its establishment; and
4. Pioneering courses and training institutions (lembaga kursus dan pelatihan rintisan), which have
fulfilled the minimum services requirements in its establishment but are still limited to
provisioning courses for beginners or which have not yet fulfilled the minimum services
requirements.
Regardless, all courses are directed to pay attention to current and projected labor market and
business trends, as well as trending interests in personal development.
Learning outcomes
In accordance with Government Regulation on the National Education System, implementation of
courses must refer to a specific Standard of Graduate Competences recognized by the MoEC. This
specific Standard of Graduate Competences should be based on the general Standard of Graduate
Competences for courses developed by ANSE, which is then enforced through a Regulation of the
62 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
Minister of Education and Culture. Since the national standard for courses is currently in
development, however, the MoEC has taken the initiative to develop their own set of specific
Standard of Graduate Competencess based on the IQF currently enforced through Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture 11 of 2019 on Standards for Graduate Competences in Courses. As
stated in the Regulation, there are 25 main groups of courses that are currently governed by the
MoEC.
Currently, from the recognized 25 main groups of courses, there are 143 types of courses that can be
provisioned under the supervision of the MoEC ranging from IQF levels I to V. Specifically, the
number of types of courses are 5, 38, 64, 28, and 8 for IQF levels I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively.

IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
Work training (pelatihan kerja) is defined in Law 13 of 2003 on Manpower as “all activities to
provide, obtain, improve, and develop work competences, productivity, discipline, attitude, and
work ethic on particular levels of skill and expertise in accordance to the position or work level
and qualification”. Work training programs under the supervision of the Ministry of Manpower/
Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (MoM/Kemenaker) are specific with the main target being to improve
work skills, productivity, and welfare of workers and job seekers by means of equipping (skilling),
improving (up-skilling), and developing (re-skilling) work competences. It is important to note that
the minimum age requirement to take part in work training at a job training institution is 15 years.
Provision
Work training can be provisioned by Government and private Vocational Training Centers/Balai
Latihan Kerja (VTCs/BLK) based on directions given in Government Regulation 31 of 2006 on the
National Work Training System. There are five groups of training institutions under supervision of
the MoM, which are (1) Government VTCs, (2) ministerial training institutions, (3) private accredited
VTCs, (4) overseas VTCs, and (5) apprentice organizers in industries. Regardless, all work trainings
are directed to pay attention to current and projected labor market and business needs.
Apprenticeship (pemagangan) is one of the most recognized work training that is used in the field.
As defined in Law on Manpower, apprenticeship is “part of the work training system which is
implemented in an integrated manner between training in training institutions and working
directly under the guidance and supervision of an instructor or a more experienced worker/labor
in the process of goods or services production in a company to master particular skills or
expertise”.
Learning outcomes
In accordance with Government Regulation on the National Work Training System, implementation
of training in each VTC must refer to a recognized competency standard. Competency standards may
consist of Indonesian National Work Competency Standards/Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional
Indonesia (INWCS/SKKNI), international competency standards, or other specific competency
standards. Competency standards are the main basis for each VTC to develop training programs and
curricula. Number of INWCS
In relation to INWCS, the process of its formulation is regulated through Regulation of the Minister
of Manpower 3 of 2016 on Directions in Establishing Indonesian National Work Competency
Standards. The preparation is based on industry/user needs by industry practitioners or those who
have experience in the industry to ensure that the national competency standards are in accordance
with the demands of industrial needs and achieved through national consensus. The INWCS model
follows the model suggested by the International Labor Organization (ILO), namely the Regional
Model Competency Standard (RMCS). Each national competency standard will have several
competences or learning outcomes and is expressed in competency units.

The number of certificates issued by these training institutions have shown consistent growth
over the years with the latest official recorded information showing significant increase from
3,231,970 certificates issued in 2017 to 3,511,802 certificates in 2018. These training
institutions develop their curricula based on INCWS, which currently consists a total of 769
standards across 17 sectors, where some of them have been included in the IQF. Number of
INWCS documented up to May 2019 is presented in the ANNEX B. The table shows that some
out of dated INWCS had been revoked. Number of INWCS based on Occupational Cluster,
Occupation, and Qualifications is listed in the ANNEX C. There are eleven INWCS based on
qualifications or bearing IQF levels.
In various policies and usage in the field, the terms courses and (work) training are often
interchangeable and overlap one another. To provide consistency in this report, in addition to the
aforementioned definitions for each term, a comparison of the two domains of training programs is
presented in Table 1.24.
Informal education is defined in Law on the National Education System as “the path of family and
environmental education”. This path of education has characteristics in which: (1) emphasizes on
character development; (2) participants are heterogeneous; (3) contents of education are not
formally programmed; (4) not tiered; (5) flexible learning time, yet relatively long; (6) learning
process is reasonable, flexible, and responsive; (7) evaluation of learning achievement is not
systematically programed; and (8) credentials are non-existent and also not important. The main
forms of informal education are single and compound homeschooling, as well knowledge attained
from personal work experiences.
1.3.1. Homeschooling
As stated earlier in the non-formal education section, homeschooling is defined in Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture on the Provision of Homeschooling as “the process of educational
service that is purposely planned and provisioned by parents or families at home or in other places
in the form of single, compound, and community, where the learning process can transpire in a
conducive surrounding so that every unique potential of a learner can develop to its maximum”. In
general, the goal for provision of this type of informal education is to:
1. fulfill services of basic and secondary education quality for learners from families that choose to
educate their children through homeschooling;
2. serve learners that need academic and life skills education in a flexible manner to improve their
quality of life; and
3. fulfill educational services in a conscious, regular, directed, yet less structured manner by putting
forward the development and implementation of independent learning that is provisioned by
family and their surroundings where learning can occur at home or other places in a conducive
environment to maximize the development of each learner’s unique potential.
Provision
There are two forms of homeschooling that are considered to be informal education, which are
single homeschooling (sekolahrumah tunggal) and compound homeschooling (sekolahrumah
majemuk). Single homeschooling (Sekolahrumah tunggal) is defined in Regulation of the Minister of
Education and Culture on the Provision of Homeschooling as “family-based education service ran by
parents for learners in one family and not joined with other families running other single
homeschoolings”. Meanwhile, compound homeschooling (Sekolahrumah majemuk) is defined in the
same Regulation as “environment-based education ran by parents of two or more families
performing one or more learning activities together, with the main learning activities still being
performed within each family”.
67 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
Learning outcomes
Similar to community homeschooling, the curriculum for single and compound homeschooling both
must refer to either the national formal education curriculum or the national equality education
curriculum. Thus, single and compound homeschooling will have similar learning outcomes to the
chosen national curriculum. Differences may occur on the width or depth of learning depending on
the interest, potential, and needs of the learner(s).
Table 1.25. Mapping of ISCED and IQF Levels for Single and Compound Homeschooling
Mapping of IQF levels toward the National Education System as a whole is further elaborated in
detail in Criterion III.
Other forms of informal education currently recognized in Indonesia include various unstructured
learning obtained through direct personal interactions with family members or the environment,
including other society members and nature, as well as self-learning through available sources of
knowledge, self-experimentation, and self-training. Recognition in competences accumulated
through these forms of education are typically done through a form of RPL or RCC mechanism,
depending on the intended use of the obtained recognition.
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
The implementation of IQF requires close cooperation of many agencies in Indonesia and must be
carried out in a planned, systematic, and organized manner. The Committee has a vision to become
an institution fostering trust and confidence in the quality and integrity of qualifications, through
developing quality culture and implementing ethical practices in all types of education and training.
The main missions are to:
1. harmonize and synchronize the process of mutual recognition between learning achievements in
the fields of education, training and work experience; and
2. supervise the quality assurance of the implementation of the IQF.
To achieve these missions, IQNC will undertake specific programs, including to:
1. strengthen the implementation of policy and regulations concerning IQF, particularly in:
a. providing the guidance and supervision on the implementation of the IQF;
b. educating the public about policies, regulations, and guidelines for implementing the IQF;
and
c. facilitating the communication and coordination among various sectors, both at national and
international levels for implementing the IQF, as well as
2. promote and advocate the recognition of Indonesian human resource qualifications based on
the IQF in the global labor market, by:
Thus the process of IQF referencing to the AQRF is one of the IQNC’s first responsibility. In carrying
out this task, IQNC communicates and coordinates with various national-level sectors to build
harmony between various forms and types of qualifications, including various quality assurance
systems in the process of granting qualifications. The involvement of stakeholders in referencing
processes is described at Criterion VII.
In order to coordinate all stakeholders, IQNC membership includes regulatory authorities governing
human resources development, not only the regulating bodies within education and labor sectors,
but also across sectoral bodies, as listed in the Table 2.1.
The IQNC membership also includes experts who have in-depth knowledge on the implementation
of the IQF in various sectors both nationally and internationally, as well as understanding of the
quality assurance system in education, training and work experiences, and a comprehensive and
integrative insight into Indonesian human resources development. The experts who are assigned as
IQNC members come from universities, professional societies, workers' communities, and
entrepreneurs.
In the early stages of its formation, when the coordination, integration and consolidation of various
parties were still needed, IQNC is expected to carry out the following basic tasks:
1. Disseminating the IQF’s features to the community and the international community.
2. Conducting the preparation of detailed handbooks regarding guidelines, mechanisms, and stages
of the equality assessment of various labor sectors at national and international levels.
3. Developing an appropriate quality assurance system and monitor and evaluate the
implementation of IQF in various sectors, by working together with quality assurance institutions
within the MoEC, MoRTHE, and MoM, as well as professional associations.
4. Providing guidance and recommendation for developing descriptors at every level of IQF
qualification in accordance with the development of workforce competences or the
development of work qualifications in the international world.
5. Providing guidance and recommendation for the development of work qualification levels for
interested parties both from within and outside the country.
When the proper IQNC organization and system have been established, the duties will be expanded
to take the main objectives of improving the quality and competitiveness of Indonesian workers
within the planned time. These responsibilities include:
1. The IQNC through its organizational structure (Exhibit 2.2) will periodically review and update
IQF implementation devices such as regulations, descriptors, guidelines, socialization
mechanisms, standard implementation documents, and other supporting aspects.
2. The IQNC shall also continuously reviewing the nine descriptors of qualification levels contained
in the IQF by paying attention and anticipating the developments occurring in the field of labor
both at home and abroad.
3. As a center for services and information, the IQNC is tasked with:
a. publishing guidelines that are deemed necessary for stakeholder, both in the form of
information about the mechanism for implementing the IQF, past experience recognition
schemes, credit transfers, or certification programs related to the IQF;
b. providing input, consultation, guidance / assistance, then encourages and facilitates the
process of implementing the IQF in any institutions; and
c. disseminating the IQF as well as its implementation programs to all stakeholders, particularly
quality assurance, accreditation, and certification bodies.
4. To ensure transparent and accountable IQF implementation, as well as obtains recognition in-
country and overseas, the IQNC must be able to establish partnerships with NAA-HE/BAN-PT,
NAA-SM/BAN-SM, NAA-ECENFE/BAN-PAUD PNF, ANSE/BSNP, IPCA/BNSP, PCB/LSP, CCB/LSK,
TPAB/LA-LPK, professional associations, industry associations, and other agencies or institutions
related to producers and users/employers of Indonesian workforce. The partnership should lead
to a mutual symbiotic coordination in executing sustainable IQF-based quality assurance
programs in their respective fields. Overall, quality assurance activities executed by each
institution or agency are expected to support the implementation of IQF.
5. The IQNC will assist the development of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) scheme, credit
transfers, or the transfer of types of education in the education and training sector. IQNC can
provide assistance for institutions to develop RPL regulations and mechanisms that are
implemented internally in their respective institutions according to their specific characteristics,
yet remain in sync with the basic rules required by the IQF.
6. The IQNC will provide mentoring teams for companies, industries, business institutions, or
government agencies in developing a career system or payroll structure based on IQF.
7. In the case of recognizing the qualifications of foreign workers who work in Indonesia into IQF
or, conversely support Indonesian workers who work abroad, the IQNC through the appropriate
channel will implement monitoring activities to ensure accountability of certificate issuance as
well as mutual recognition among national and international qualifications.
IQNC will develop various models or systems related to aspects of assessment and recognition
agreed upon by interested parties so that the implementation of the system or the assessment

2.4. Governance
In relation to qualifications frameworks, governance can refer to how an agency promotes, manages
and maintains the framework, including ensuring progressive implementation across the various
education and training sectors. It also refers to the legislative or regulatory basis of the agency and
its roles and responsibilities.
The governance operation of the IQNC shall meet the following requirements
1. transparency and accountability;
2. integrity, including resolution of potential and actual conflicts of interest with selflessness and
objectivity in the public interest;
3. due diligence;
4. inclusive; and
5. economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
Strong governance arrangements, particularly a political mandate for the IQNC, are critical to the
successful implementation of the IQF. In all known instances of international examples, the
responsible agency’s scope or focus is on the country’s qualifications system and the relationship
with the qualifications framework. There is only one single agency; not to do so would provide for
77 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
multiple agencies and multiple focal points, which is potentially confusing to local and international
stakeholders.
The roles and responsibilities of the IQNC are defined and distinct from the role of the various
ministries and agencies in IQF implementation. The roles and responsibilities of the IQNC include:
1. coordination and monitoring of IQF implementation across the sectors;
2. policy direction of the IQF;
3. being the single voice advocating and promoting the benefits and role of the IQF at a national
level and international level;
4. liaison with relevant international agencies;
5. provision of cross sectoral objective advice on the effectiveness of Indonesia’s qualifications
system; and
6. coordination and maintenance of agency quality standards, meta-evaluation of the quality
assurance agencies. A key role of the IQNC is to hold all ministries and agencies accountable for
their performance. The IQNC will maintain a register of recognized quality assurance agencies.
The IQF addresses all three main sectors of education and training: formal education, non-formal
education, and informal training. The IQNC will be supported by a strong Secretariat to undertake
the operations and functions of the IQNC.
Nevertheless, it is realized that at this early stage such governance has not been fully implemented
for IQNC. The IQNC was just established at the MoRTHE instead of at a national or cross sectoral
position, e.g. Presidential decree. The INQC will have to be upgraded into such position at a later
stage. The existence of the Honorary Membership representing the leading sectors in education and
training, demonstrates the full support IQNC received from its stakeholders. Further reputation and
recognition should be earned through its achievement in carrying out its tasks.
Definitions related to Indonesian qualification systems, if evident, are in specific regulations related
to relevant ministries and do not necessarily have national scope or national commitment to a
common understanding. The only high level policy document at national level is that of the
Presidential Decree on the IQF. This Decree established the IQF and includes a limited number of
definitions including those related to:
1. national qualifications framework;
2. learning outcomes;
3. equalization;
4. qualification;
5. work experience;
6. competency certification;
7. competency certificate; and
8. profession.
Presidential Decree on the IQF outlines the level descriptors but does not provide any other advice
in relation to qualifications. A review of regulations from the MoEC indicates that in the other
component parts of a framework are mostly included for higher education. Whether similar
documents are developed by the ministry responsible for manpower is less clear. To promote
transparency of the IQF and to avoid a mix of qualification types and descriptors, definitions and
application of certification, the IQNC should be responsible for developing overarching national
policy directly related to the IQF, including national policy on:
1. qualifications including component parts e.g., qualification types, qualification types descriptors
including the volume;
2. recognition of prior learning;
3. certification, including naming conventions and use of the IQF logo;1
4. international referencing activities; and
5. education and training definitions.
The relevant regulations documented by MoEC could be ’co-opted’ as IQNC level documents on
agreement from MoM and other ministries, and it needs to be published as one document. Relevant
line ministries could still develop additional specific requirements as long as they are not conflicting
with the national policy.
2.6. Coordination
Presidential Decree on the IQF indicates that line ministries and relevant agencies can implement
the IQF as they see fit. The MoEC and MoM assigned to develop further lower level regulations.
IQNC will take a coordination role by:
1. developing a system of collaboration across all education and training sectors and quality
agencies ministries and agencies;
2. facilitating meetings and building relationships between the three key ministries and with other
ministries and agencies;
3. facilitating development of high level IQF documents that are implemented by all ministries and
agencies;
4. informing ministries and agencies of implementation targets; and progress; and
5. requiring data to be sent from each of the relevant ministries and agencies to analyze and gain a
better picture of implementation of the IQF in all education and training sectors.

IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
Research in various countries indicates that one of the key roles and responsibilities of the agency is
to disseminate and promote the NQF. For the IQF to be successful in meeting its country’s goals and
ambitions, the IQF needs to be well understood by all stakeholders including:
1. employer and employer groups;
2. parents, potential students, students and graduates;
3. international agencies involved in cross border education provision and student mobility;
4. international agencies responsible for manpower mobility; and
5. professional associations and licensing bodies.
The IQNC would provide general and high level information regarding the IQF and link with
ministries in promoting the IQF in their circle of remit. As the focal point, the IQNC should be able to
provide the necessary information regarding the IQF and its link with the international standards.
This function would be carry out primarily through the IQNC Honorary Members. It would also be
facilitated by a website that:
1. includes IQF level information and policies;
2. links to recognised peak quality assurance agencies; and
3. links to ministry websites dedicated to their implementation of the IQF.
The IQNC also has a key role in linking other non-qualification recognition strategies (e.g. licensing,
professional association membership) to enhance the linkages between the IQF and the system (but
separate in terms of certification) to these other outcomes. Without a centralised single agency such
IQNC, the information and promotion of the IQF could result in conflicting information.
Promoting and being a focal point for international relationships is acknowledged as a key function
of the IQNC. Indonesia, as one of the foundation ASEAN member states, is involved with a number of
international activities that are of particular relevance to the IQNC:
1. The UNESCO Regional Convention on the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and Degrees in
Higher Education in Asia and the Pacific was established in 1983, to which Indonesia was a
signatory. The new convention, the Asia-Pacific Regional Convention on the Recognition of
Qualifications in Higher Education [2011], aims to ‘ensure that studies, diplomas, and degrees in
higher education are recognized as widely as possible, considering the great diversity of
educational systems in the Asia-Pacific region and the richness of its cultural, social, political,
religious, and economic backgrounds’ [UNESCO 2012]. The Convention focuses on establishing
basic principles for the provision of information and the implementation of the convention.
Article IX.3.1 indicates that ‘a network of national information centers on academic mobility and
recognition shall be established and shall uphold and assist the practical implementation of this
Convention by the competent recognition authorities’ [UNESCO 2012:10].
2. The basis for the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF) is derived from the ASEAN
Charter signed by the ten ASEAN leaders in Singapore on 20 November 2007, where aspirations
to become a single entity – an ASEAN Community – were reinforced. The AQRF has been
80 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
approved and will support other multilateral and bilateral arrangements within the community
including mutual recognition agreements [AQRF 2014:1]. The proposed governance
arrangements of the AQRF indicate that there will be a regional committee which will liaise with
one focal point in each ASEAN country. The national focal point is expected to represent all
education and training sectors and promote the AQRF and NQF linkages. In addition, there is to
be one key focal point to coordinate the in country activities, including the referencing activity
(which includes establishing a national referencing panel).
2.9. Evaluation
In any qualifications system there are competing demands and allegiances. Ministries implementing
quality assurance arrangements and promoting their sector system are sometimes reluctant to
identify and report inefficiencies, duplication and issues of implementation. The IQNC will need to be
able to request data, reports and information from relevant ministries, peak quality assurance
agencies and bodies to be able to piece together and provide cross-sectoral, objective advice as to
future directions and strategies to improve the education and training system of Indonesia.
Given the varied number of quality assurance agencies across all education and training sector in
Indonesia, it is not feasible for the IQNC to take on a quality assurance role of achievement
standards and of institutional provision. However, confidence in the certification process is a critical
aspect of building confidence in IQF qualifications. In this respect, the IQNC would take a role in
assuring quality by holding the quality assurance agencies accountable for their own performance
and that of any of their subsidiary quality assurance agencies’ or bodies ‘performance.
Having said that, this approach is only one way for instilling confidence in IQF qualifications. The
IQNC would take an accountability approach by monitoring and ensuring that the peak quality
assurance ministries and agencies meet agreed quality standards and comply with key performance
targets and reporting requirements. Quality assurance agencies meeting quality standards is a model
used internationally in country and across countries. In this quality assurance approach, the IQNC
would:
1. develop quality standards for quality assurance agencies;2
2. require annual reporting (or additional reporting if requested) for the purpose of monitoring and
meta-evaluation or review;
3. maintain a register of quality assured agencies; and
4. report to the highest government office on agency compliance to the requirements.
The accountability approach is adopted in preference to a regulatory approach, which will address:
1. governance arrangements and accountability requirements;
2. continuous improvement approach to quality requirements;
3. periodic external audit requirement against the quality standards; and
4. eligibility for membership to international agencies, e.g. INQAAHE3.
Any quality standards should reflect the benchmarking quality standards referenced in the AQRF,
given that any referencing process of the IQF to the AQRF requires a benchmarking exercise of a
country’s quality assurance processes of its qualifications system. Currently there are three quality
assurance frameworks cited in the AQRF to which member states are to benchmark the quality
assurance of their qualifications system in the referencing process.
Unsatisfactory performance of peak quality assurance agencies could be addressed through the
IQNC’s reporting requirements. Regardless of whether a regulatory or accountability approach is
applied, the scope of the IQNC’s quality assurance activities could be:
1. limited to peak quality assurance ministries and agencies;4 or
2. applied to all quality assurance ministries and agencies.
The IQNC would take a blended approach requiring all agencies to comply with general reporting
requirements and also be subject to quality audits.
2
The quality standards would specify the requirement for peak quality assurance agencies to be subject to external
international quality assessment at least every five years. The quality standards would also include a requirement for the
peak agencies to quality assure any agencies/bodies it delegates or licences the responsibility of quality assurance of
qualifications, providers and/or provision of education, training and assessment services.

INQAAHE = International Network on Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education

Peak agencies are those at the top tier i.e. those that either take full responsibility for quality assurance (e.g. BAN-PT) or
delegate or license others to act on their behalf (e.g. BNSP which licenses Professional Certification Bodies).

The inclusion processes of all Indonesian qualifications into the Indonesian Qualifications Framework
(IQF) were carried out based on the specific objective, i.e to have human capital and human
resources that could contribute significantly to the nation’s needs and nation’s competitiveness.
The drafting process of IQF began with a study related to the benefits of a national qualification
framework in various countries which already defined and used it for the benefit of their human
resources development. Furthermore, a research was conducted on the concepts and principles of
developing a national qualification framework by prioritizing conformity with the conditions of the
nation and state of Indonesia.
Meanwhile, learning, discussion, and information exchange with qualification board in various
countries have also been accomplished including Australia, New Zealand, Germany, United Kingdom,
Hungary, Ireland, France, Japan and Thailand. One of the international collaborations undertaken by
the Government, represented by the Ministry of Education and Culture/Kementerian Pendidikan dan
Kebudayaan (MoEC/Kemendikbud), Ministry of Religion/Kementerian Agama (MoRA/Kemenag), and
Ministry/Agency of National Development Planning/Kementerian/Badan Perencanaan
Pembangunan Nasional (MoNDP/Bappenas), with the Australian Agency for International
Development (AusAID), the European Union (EU), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through
the Analytical and Capacity Development Partnership (ACDP 024) has produced a comprehensive
report on support for the development of the IQF. Based on studies and analysis of various
international experiences, the report recommends a road map for the implementation of IQF,
development of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) system, and the establishment of the
Indonesian Qualifications National Committee/Komite Nasional Kualifikasi Indonesia (IQNC/KKNI).
Various studies those have been carried out intensively and comprehensively provide several
important foundations in the development of the IQF, such as follows:
1. The IQF provides equal qualifications between the one’s learning outcomes obtained from the
world of formal, non-formal, and informal learning, or from work experience. This is in line with
the efforts to implement Article 4 paragraph (2) of Law 20 of 2003 on the National Education
System related to Open Learning System, namely education with flexible place and time of cross-
unit completion programs or types of education (multi entry-multi exit system). Participants can
study and work at the same time, or take additional educational programs from different types
and lines of education in a sustainable manner either through face-to-face or long distance
learning. Therefore, the qualification framework to be developed must also include the RPL
system so it can guarantee the flexibility of career development or increase the qualification
level.
2. The IQF recognizes the equality of qualifications between learning outcomes of various scientific
fields at the higher education level, both for the type of academic education, vocational, or
profession with expertise development skills and careers performed in the world of work or
professional associations. In the realm of education, the IQF reflects the expected outcomes by
Article 12 paragraph (1) letter e and f of Law on the National Education System, where each
participant in each education unit has the right (e) to move to education programs on other
types and units of equivalent education; and (f) complete the education program in regard to
each study speed and stay on track on the set deadline.
3. The IQF provides framework for appropriate qualification recognition of diploma or certificates
of competency holders who will work or continue their education to overseas, join the student-
exchange program, higher education students or cross-country experts. The IQF also provides
equal qualifications for overseas diploma or competency certificate holders who will work,
continue their studies, or undertake student-exchange programs, higher education students or
experts in Indonesia.
As a policy that has interconnected and broad implication in the community, the IQF has been
carefully developed with systematic stages, and involved the participation of all interested parties so
that the achieved results are collective agreements. In general, the development process of IQF was
as follows:
1. Analyzed the objectives, modules, methods, scope, procedures for compilation, and the impact
of the National Qualification Framework (NQF) of various countries, including ASEAN countries,
Hongkong, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary, Ireland, France,
and Japan.
2. Compiled and analyzed more than a hundred of learning outcomes resulted by formal
education, training, short courses, and work experiences:
a. The formal education level was begun with vocational secondary schools up to doctoral
levels in various scientific fields (Teacher Education, Mathematics and Natural Sciences,
Humanities, social science, engineering and technology, Health science and professionals,
Vocational, Agriculture, and Art).
b. The learning outcomes as result from formal learning at higher education level were chosen
97 universities that had collaborated with overseas education, implemented reliable internal
quality assurance system and had minimum B or very good accreditation status.
c. The learning outcomes as result from formal learning of vocational secondary schools were
chosen from the best 25 schools that had collaborated with overseas education and
implemented reliable internal quality assurance system, and accredited with minimum A or
outstanding.
d. The learning outcomes as result from non-formal learning (short courses, generic trainings,
and specific job trainings) were selected and compiled randomly from accredited courses
and training institutions, managed by MoEC and Ministry of Manpower/Kementerian
Ketenagakerjaan (MoM/Kemenaker).
3. Developed generic descriptors consisting of description of moral ethics and values from all
learning outcomes based compiled and analyzed at point 3, that valid for all qualifications levels.
4. Developed levels of generic descriptors consisting of description of knowledge mastery, work
competences, responsibility, and accountability from all learning outcomes based compiled and
analyzed at point 3. From this specific process, the nine levels of qualification descriptors were
derived.
5. Communicated, socialized, and took feedback concerning the preparation, generic descriptors,
and nine levels of descriptors to all stakeholders involved in compilation and analyzes of learning
outcomes (process at point 3) with addition of:
a. central and regional government representatives under both MoEC and MoM;
b. professional associations;
c. scientific collegial;
d. Chamber of Commerce and Industries/Kamar Dagang dan Industri (CCI/KADIN);
e. National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education/Badan Akreditasi Nasional – Perguruan
Tinggi (NAA-HE/BAN-PT);
f. National Accreditation Agency for Early Childhood Education and Non-Formal
Education/Badan Akreditasi Nasional – Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini dan Pendidikan Non-
Formal (NAA-ECENFE/BAN-PAUD PNF);
g. Agency for National Standards in Education/Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan
(ANSE/BSNP);
h. Indonesian Professional Certification Authority/Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi
(IPCA/BNSP);
i. Training Provider Accreditation Body/Lembaga Akreditasi Lembaga Pelatihan Kerja
(TPAB/LA-LPK);
j. Work Training Providers;
k. Courses Providers; and
l. Formal Education Providers.
6. Drafted a Presidential Regulation on the IQF, beginning in August 2009, and then successfully
completed the legalization through the issuance of Presidential Decree 8 of 2012 on the IQF.
87 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
According to the Presidential Decree on the IQF, qualifications can be yielded through formal, non-
formal, and informal learning modalities, as illustrated in Exhibit 3.1. Learning outcomes generated
by these three education pathways can be juxtaposed in level one to level nine of IQF, however,
formal learning outcomes of Early Childhood Education, Primary School, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Junior
Secondary School, and Madrasah Tsanawiyah, do not have any IQF level. This is a very important
policy because the Indonesian Government requires a minimum 12 years of formal schooling up to
the age of 18. Thus, the IQF qualification level is valid starting at level 2 for Senior Secondary Schools
graduates or Vocational Secondary Schools.
Likewise, with non-formal education, there is no IQF level attached to learning outcomes gained by
participants under 15 years because Indonesia has ratified the ILO Convention Number 138
concerning Minimum Age Limit for Children Allowed to Work through Law 20 of 1999 and ILO
Convention Number 182 concerning Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the
Worst Forms of Child Labor (WFCL) through Law 1 of 2000. In strengthening national commitments,
Indonesia Government has adopted the second substance of the ILO Convention, concerning Child
Labor and WFCL, in Law 23 of 2002 on Child Protection and Law 13 of 2003 on Manpower.
Basically, the trainings and short courses aim to equip one's competence through the flexible
process of adding or completing certain competences, using certain methods, in a certain time
duration, with clear and measurable results. They can be a supplement or complement accordingly
as follows:
1. Training and Course functions as a supplement, if it is done for the purpose of adding someone's
new competence to get a job or entrepreneurship.
2. Training and Course functions as a supplement, if it is done for the purpose of completing
previously competences obtained through education or work experience (up-skilling).
3. Training and Course will function as a complement, if it is done for the purpose of adjusting
competences (re-skilling) because of the demands of competences that are different from those
previously had.
Qualifications resulted from training and courses can have level II to level IX IQF as long as the
awarding qualifications assured the quality and the righteousness by applying a robust quality
assurance system.
The IQF levels are not attached to various courses or training which usually done for certain hobbies,
because it is not necessarily relate to the IQF level for working requirements. Among these are
language training, dance performing arts, music arts, flower arrangement arts, culinary arts, martial
arts and many more. This kind of courses or trainings can be attended by cross-age participants,
starting from the age of children. The expertise will be achieved faster with talent and earlier entry
of the participants. However, the instructors are obliged to have the IQF level qualification standard.
On the other hand, work experience is a person’s accumulation of the ability to do work in a
particular field and a certain period of time intensively with clear measurable results and
performance. Work experience is closely related to workplace/industry. Clearly measured results
and performance in the workplace/ industry are manifested in the form of work competences.
Each IQF level is designated for formal learning of Vocational Secondary Schools, Senior Secondary
Schools, Madrasah Aliyah, One-year Diploma, Associate, Bachelor, Bachelor with Honors,
Professional Bachelor, Profession, Master and Applied Master, as well as Doctor and Applied Doctor
qualifications. The level ranges from level II to level IX. The learning outcomes of 4-year Vocational
Secondary Schools can have level II or III IQF, depends on the additional modules added to the
fourth year of learning. The description of each level qualification is stated in Table 3.1.

In a country with quite significant unemployment rate, there are unavoidable conditions where
workers and unemployed people do not have the adequate competences let alone compatible IQF
qualifications (Table 0.1). Thus, quality improvement of Indonesian workforces is expressively
important.
In February 2019, Indonesia labor forces reach 136,18 million with 5.34 percent Unemployment Rate
(last updated 23 Jan 2019). Data shows that vocational secondary school is still leading in the
number of unemployment. Irrelevancy and/or low quality human resources are two main reasons
5
Unemployment is defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as people who do not have a job, have actively
looked for work in the past four weeks, are currently available for work, who were temporarily laid off, and
people who were waiting to be called back to that job.Whilst Unemployment Rate is percentage of unemployed
labor forces.

IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
for this high unemployment. Thus, workers should possess IQF qualifications which compatible with
the requirements of the employers. The authorized parties including quality assurance institutions
must be able to ensure that the available educational/training/course institutions are credible and
competent.
In these ideal conditions, the IQF is a reference for all interested parties at both supply and demand
sides in development of human capital and human resources that could meet the nation’s needs and
boosting nation’s competitiveness. Furthermore, in the global era with international workers’
mobility, the IQF must also be able to become a guideline for recognizing foreign workers’
qualifications in Indonesia and vice versa.
It is very important to position the IQF as the one and only national qualification framework that
able to accommodate all kind of human resources qualifications. Therefore, it must be a neutral
reference for the qualifications and able to facilitate mutual recognition between the qualifications
generated by various education channels, including the formal education, non-formal education,
self-learning, as well as working experience.
The inclusion of qualifications into IQF should be carried out in the context of improving quality and
relevance that is supported by a robust quality assurance system. In general, linking qualifications
yielded by formal and non-formal modalities is carried out within the existing education system,
which has been juxtaposed with IQF Level, as illustrated in Exibit 3.2.
There are two categories of programs, which are (1) registered programs existed before IQF
establishment and (2) proposed new programs. Steps to link the outcomes to the IQF level can be
resumed as follows:
1. Proposed new programs should first be recognized and registered as new programs according to
the government regulations. During gaining permit from an authorized body, program outcomes
should specify the IQF level and provide evidence that the IQF level is suitable and relevant for
the proposed program.
a. The formal learning modalities should proof their curricula are outcome-based oriented that
synchronized with the targeted IQF level.
b. The non-formal learning modalities should proof their competence standards are outcome
based oriented that synchronized with the targeted IQF level.
2. All registered programs existed before IQF establishment should restate their target outcomes
and provide evidence that the IQF level is suitable and relevant for the program.
3. Both aforementioned IQF levels designation process should be supported by a robust quality
assurance such that the targeted learning outcomes with specific IQF levels are really achieved.

Exhibit 3.2. Mechanism of linking qualifications from formal and non-formal learning.
Inclusion of qualifications in the work training sector is governed under Regulation of the Minister of
Manpower 21 of 2014 on Guidelines in Implementing the IQF. The regulation affirms that basis of
determining the IQF levels is a classification of working competences that present in the industrial
sectors and should reflect the economic standing and benefits for all parties. Thus the working
competences classification should be in accordance with real demand based condition by
industries/companies/representative and related users and created using the valid classification
model and method. With such relations, work trainings put stakeholders (users, workplaces,
industries) as the main reference. In the perspective of stakeholders, the fulfilment of work
competences is accumulated in the form of job positions or titles.
The inclusion of working competences to the IQF level is illustrated in Exhibit 3.3 as the following:
Exhibit 0.3. The inclusion process of qualifications in the work training sector.
Inclusion various competences into IQF qualification level are implemented through the following
process:
1. Specifying the functional area of each industry. Generally, the industry classification refers to the
Indonesian Standard of Industrial Classification published by Statistics Indonesia/Badan Pusat
Statistik (SI/BPS).
2. Identifying and categorizing prior learning, either using:
a. Path A (Job Hierarchy based on MOSS – Model Occupational Skills Standard Working
Competences for each job position occupational map): Identify and categorize various job
positions or titles in the functional area using a valid model and method of categorization.
All job positions in a similar workplace industry should also be considered, then analyze the
competency requirements occurred in the aforementioned job position; or
b. Path B (Working Competences cluster for each job position based on RMCS– Regional Model
Competency Standards Job Hierarchy occupational map): Identify and categorize
various working competences in the functional area using a valid model and method of
categorization, then analyze the best fit in of various job position, needed in the functional
area,
which will result in the specific Occupational Map that consists of job positions/titles in
hierarchical manner and its relevant working competences.
3. Analyze the position/level of each job position by comparing between job descriptions/jobs
(which have identified competences) with a position and the IQF description. The results of the
analysis state the level of a position towards the IQF level.
4. Develop the training based on the aforesaid map, either on specific working competences or as
the whole cluster of occupation. Based on the map, the outcome can only bear an IQF level if the
training covers the whole cluster of occupation.
5. Analyses the outcomes achievements using relevant competency tests as base for improving
occupational map continuously.
Step 1:
THE INDONESIAN STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION (KBLI)
Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia 2015
The Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification is one of the standard classifications published by SI
for the economic activities. This classification was firstly created in order to facilitate economic
analysis, decision making and policy making. With the increasing of strategic role, this classification is
also used to categorize the business fields into several sectors.
Currently, there are 19 sectors specified in the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification as
follows:
1. Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery
2. Mining and Excavation
3. Processing Industry
4. Utility Procurement
5. Water Processing, Wastewater Processing, Recycle Processing and Remediation Activity
6. Construction
7. Wholesaler and Retailer; Reparation and Car and Motorbike Maintenance
8. Transportation and Warehousing
9. Accommodation Provider and Food and Beverages Provider
10. Information and Communication
11. Financial and Insurance Activity
12. Real Estate
13. Professional, Scientific and Technical Activity
14. Rent and Lease Activity, Employment, Tour Agent and Other Business Supports
15. Public Administration, Defence and Social Security
16. Education
17. Health and Social Activity
18. Art, Entertainment and Recreation
19. Other Services Activity
Step 2:
OCCUPATIONAL MAP
The occupational map was developed with the involvement of all sectors. It was not only from the
government, but also from the industries and civilians, including the education and training
institutions. The stakeholders such as MoNDP, MoM, Indonesian Professional Certification
97 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
This map is useful for workers or job seekers as it gives information regarding the career levels of
certain industries while the map can also be a personal branding for entrepreneurs. The map of
national occupations also can be a basis of the Indonesian National Working Competency
Standard/Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia (INWCS/SKKNI) development based on
Regional Model Competency Standards (RMCS) model stipulated by International Labour
Organization (ILO).
PATH A: In each workplace (industries or sectors), job titles are arranged accordingly in order to
have a hierarchy, starting from the lowest to the highest position, both functional and structural.
The existence of these positions is manifested through organizational structures in the workplace. In
other words, the job position in the organizational structure shows the level, position or rank. The
compilation of the position hierarchy is adjusted to the scope of duties and responsibilities. In order
to identify the work of occupation/job position easily, the Indonesian Standard Occupational
Classification/Klasifikasi Baku Jabatan Indonesia (ISOC/KBJI) published by SI can be utilized.
After the job hierarchy is formed, identification of work competences situated in each job position is
conducted. This identification will produce a number of competences in a workplace.
PATH B: Classifications based on working competences are carried out by clustering unit of
competences to carry out specific job. Then, various jobs are classified into category and hierarchy
levels, and form an occupational map.
There are two types of competences i.e. Core Competency and Elective Competency. The unit of
core competency is the unit of competency which is compulsory in every position or certain job
position level while the unit of elective competency is the unit of competency which supports the
position/job position level/work area. All of core or elective competences refer to INWCS or adopted
international standards.
For example:
Step 3:
Once the occupational map is produced, the next phase is to identify the qualification level based on
IQF descriptors with respective elements as follows:
1. Operational environment that lead to work attitude;
2. Knowledge comprehension;
3. Capability of information processing and problem solving; as well as
4. Responsibility, accountability, and autonomy.
In order to identify the qualification level, the comparison between the units of competency in the
classifications based on the classification regulations with the characteristic of every IQF level
described in the IQF descriptors is carried out., in accord with the following process:
1. Analyse units of competency which have been stated in the job classification.
2. Identify knowledge comprehension and skills required in the units of competency
3. Analyse above mentioned knowledge and skills towards the IQF level descriptors.
4. Set/classify the position of qualification level to produce a complete occupational map.
5. Obtain the consensus from workforce/representative industry as well as resepcted authorities.
The mapping processes use key functional taxonomy, occupation name, level of qualifications are
designed and assessed by authorized stakeholders utilizing a recognized code system. The resources
of codes are originated from INWCS or adopted international standards.
The map is established inclusively and transparently by means of interactive iterations through
several FGD with main stakeholders. The complete occupational map is validated by
Ministries/related authorities and legalized by Ministerial/Authorities regulations.
Step 4:
DEVELOP THE TRAINING BASED ON THE THE OCCUPATIONAL MAP
Training programs can be constructed based on the occupational map to upskill a worker on a
specific working competence or to upgrade a worker with the whole cluster of occupation such that
he or she can gain specific job position. Based on the map, the outcome can only bear an IQF level if
the training covers the whole cluster of occupation.
In general, the availability of units of competency listed in the INWCS is neutral, unbound in a
classification or attribute of units of core competency and/or units of elective competency. Thus,
certain units of competency may not yield toa certain qualification level. On the other hand, training
which support the attainment cluster of working competences in a specific job position shall yield
into an IQF level. Such cluster can be comprised of many INWCS.
Step 5:
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
The relation of job qualifications in the occupational map with IQF levels has to be validated by
assessing outcomes of training programs focusses on working competence clusters. Training
programs have to be supported by a vigorous quality assurance system. In addition, independent
99 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
competency tests have to be established as base for improving occupational map continuously. Web
sites that can accommodate societies’ inputs regarding the tracer of training outcomes are
customized by training providers.
The MoI has published the strategic plan for strategic industries development in Indonesia
(https://kemenperin.go.id/profil/71/rencana-strategis-kementerian-perindustrian) consiting of:
1. Food industry;
2. Pharmacy, cosmetics, and health instruments;
3. Transportation equipment;
4. Electronics and telematics/ICT;
5. Power plant;
6. Capital goods, components, auxiliary goods, and industrial services;
7. Upstream agriculture;
8. Metal base and non-metal minerals; as well as
9. Chemical industry based on oil, gas, and coals.
At present, the occupational map had been completely arranged for at least two industries up to
April 2018, i.e. telecommunication and information technology and communication. The others are
still in the progress of arrangement and finalization.
Occupational map in the communication and information technology sector was completed in the
year 2017 and endorsed by Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, MoM, MoNDP,
IPCA, and CCI (Exhibit 3.4).
There are 16 field areas in the communication and information technology sector, which are: (1)
Data Management System, (2) Programming and Software Development, (3) Hardware and Digital
Peripherals, (4) Network and Infrastructure, (5) Operation and System Tools, (6) Information System
and Technology Development, (7) IT Governance and Management, (8) IT Project Management, (9)
IT Enterprise Architecture, (10) IT Security and Compliance, (11) IT Services Management System,
(12) IT and Computing Facilities Management, (13) IT Multimedia, (14) IT Mobility and Internet of
Things, (15) Integration Application System, and (16) IT Consultancy and Advisory.
Exhibit 0.4. The occupation mapping for the information and communication technology sector.
The communication industry has two types of functional areas in one occupational map. Type A and
Type B. In the type A of communication functional area, there are 6 main functional areas such as
Animation, Visual Communication Design, Photography, Public Relations, Multimedia and Publishing.
The four others i.e. Radio Broadcasting, TV Broadcasting, Advertising and Logistics are categorized
into type B functional areas. Furthermore, the occupation/job position level/profession was
identified in each functional area. The following Table 3.4 shows the B Type occupational map. (See
ANNEX 2: Occupation Map for Communication Sector)

Another practical example, i.e. in the Multimedia industry, it has the position level of Multimedia
Animator Assistant, Junior Multimedia Animator, Senior Multimedia Animator, Multimedia Graphic
Designer, Multimedia Art Director etc. Each occupation is later described into further description
consisting of work scopes, profiles and employability skills, responsibilities and competences, basic
prerequisites and career levels, main tasks including elective tasks. Thereafter at the final step, every
occupation is mapped into the IQF, as referred in Table 3.5.

Occupational maps in various industries are undergoing. For instance, in Tourism industry, the travel
services have six IQF levels that mark various job positions, as described in the Table 3.6 and Table
3.7, resepectively.
Table 0.6. General Occupation Mapping for Travel Services in Tour Operation
Table 0.7. General Occupation Mapping for Travel Services in Travel Agencies
Complete information regarding occupational map of ICT Sector, Communication Industry, and
Travel Services in Tourism Industry are listed in the ANNEXES D, E, and F, respectively.
In order that the map keeps updated and provide real beneficial for the improvement of human
resources quality, all the stakeholders must actively participate in the arrangement and update the
map. Other challenge is on the regulations which impede the development of occupational map in
several industry sectors. Besides that, the regulations regarding the Indonesian National Work
Competency Standards which is valid still controls the standardization development based on the job
vacancy category, not based on the job position level/occupation
manpower, both industries and government encourage work forces to gain, retain, and improve
their working competences.
A certification of work training competences is carried by IPCA which has direct authorization form
President to manage certification of comperencies and professions. This independent institution
may authorize certification functions to an accredited and lisenced PCB, as outlined in IPCA policy,
regulation, guidelines number 202 and 203. The standard operating procedures for certification
processes adapts ISO 17024, ISO 1701, and ISO 19011. A general procedure of awarding work
training certificate is depicted in Exhibit 3.5.

As outlined in Exhibit 3.5, a PCB should first get accreditation and license from IPCA by
demonstrating evidence of Quality Management System (QMS), assessor criteria, standardized
process of recruitment competent assesors, exam based relevant INWCS, place for test/examination
of work competences Competency Test Centre/Tempat Uji Kompetensi (CTC/TUK). To undertake the
certification processes, the PCB has to asses the participants’ work competences at the CTC by
certified assesors who obligate to have both pedagogical and technical competences in accord with
the INWCS being examined. The certification process is open to individual despite their education
background or their work experiences.
The skill-mismatch is produced whilst the competency based on training has not reached its effective
outcomes. The occupational map becomes one of the important pillars to create link and match
between education outcomes and the skills needed by industry. Beside as the reference of
curriculum development, the occupational map can be used to develop training programs in training
institutions, career development and professionalism in working environment. As a result, formal
education, work training and career development can be a role model of continuous workforce-
competency booster in order to improve the competitiveness of nation.
Beside the formulation of occupational map, Ministries in collaboration with the training providers
and users have formulated qualifications based on IQF levels on various field of work. The latest list
of these IQF leveling based qualifications is depicted in Tabel 3.8.

Courses provides continual learning for learners that need additional abilities in self-development,
work, self-employment, or pursuance of a higher education with an emphasis on mastery of skills
and competency standards, development of an entrepreneurship attitude, as well as development
of professional personality. Thus, courses cover various stakeholders’ needs, not only for those who
are looking for jobs or those who would like to upskilling their competences in work places.
There are 21,071 courses organized by 16,935 institutions that possess National School Identification
Code (NSIC) (data as of August 9, 2019 - Source: referensi.data.kemendikbud.go.id).
Basically, qualifications inclusion resulted from courses involve multifaceted issues and its success
depends on the synergy and proactive roles of various parties related to the improvement of the
quality of human resources, including the MoEC, MoM, profession associations, industry
associations, courses institutions, and general users. Nonetheless, the most essential parameter in
establishing courses program is the description of stakeholders’ needs, both in the aspect relevancy
and quality. Hence, such parameter is embodied in learning outcomes resulted from courses
programs; that has to be quality-aligned and relevant to the users’ needs.
The SGC has to be formulated systematically and transparently such that it is well accepted by
society, and will not pronounce any misinterpretation from all parties involved.
The SGC learning outcomes adopted IQF domain and level descriptors, consisting of four domains:
1. Moral and Ethics.
2. Knowledge comprehension in accord to the IQF levels.
3. Working Competency that refers to INWCS, international standards, industrial standards, or
other specific standards. This working competence has to describe specifically the ability to do
the job properly and with required quality standard.
4. Autonomy and Responsibility that will be given to the person bestowing the moral, ethics,
knowledge comprehension, as well as the working competence.
The inclusion of qualifications is carried out by including expert analyses and professional
judgements that juxtaposed SGC resulted from a courses and IQF level descriptors, particularly for
specific working competences and knowledge comprehensions levels, as stated in Tables 3.9 and
3.10, respectively. It is well understood that the courses are only carried out within short periods,
whilst an increase in qualification can take long term learning and experience, therefore, the courses
institutionsaward participants with certificate bearing IQF levels that previously holding the same or
one level lower of IQF levels. For instance, courses participants of IQF level V usually have already
had level IV or level V of IQF.

In relation to INWCS, SGC has similarity with INWCS in terms of Unit and Elements of Competences,
as mentioned in Table 3.11. However, since SGC is a learning outcomes resulted from a non-formal
learning modalities, the achievement of learning outcomes is termed as Passing (Graduate) Indicator
Standards, whilst at work training, the achievement of work competences is termed as Work
Performance Criteria.

Similar to work training sector, conferring certificate of competences resulted from course programs
is undertaken by accredited and certified Competency Certification Body/Lembaga Sertifikasi
Kompetensi (CCB/LSK) as stupilated in Article 61 Law on the National Education System. Permit,
certification, accreditation, quality assurance of CCB is carried out by the Directorate General of ECE
and Society Education under Article 89 paragraph (5) Government Regulation on National Education
Standards.
CCB has lisence to form CTCs in various areas. Currently there are 1,329 National CTC existing in all
provinces and two international CTC, located in Singapore dan Hongkong. Competences asessment
are performed in registered CTC outfitted with qualified assessors who have both pedagogical and
technical competences. Procedure of awarding qualifications in form of Courses Competency
Certificates is depicted in Exhibit 3.7.
In some CTC, there are general assessors who perform the competences assessment, and master
assessors who validate the result of assessment. Currently there are 2,156 certified assessors spread
out in all provinces in Indonesia (Exhibit 3.8).

Batik is one of world Masterpieces of the Oral and the Intangible Heritage of Humanity, as
established byUnited Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on October
2, 2009. To affirm commitment of Indonesia in conserving Batik as a national and world heritage, the
Ministry of Education and Culture encourage society to learn how to make batik properly and to
wear batik as one of national dress of Indonesia.
To facilitate community in learning how to make batik as well as making its accessories, the
Directorate of Courses and Training Development – Ministry of Education and Culture undertook
various FGDs of batik making, involving batik experts nationally. The SGC of batik and spouted pot
making was finally promulgated by Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 27 of 2017
that consists of:
1. The making of batik wax (IQF level III);
2. The hand-drawn batik with synthetic coloring (IQF level II);
3. The hand-drawn batik with eco-friendly coloring (IQF level II);
4. The making of hand-drawn spouted pot (IQF level III); and
5. The making of stamped spouted pot (IQF level III).
The SGC was launched on March 1, 2019 in the event of International Forum on Millennial
Entrepreneurs and Appreciation and Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage in Indonesia. The
SGC of hand-drawn batik making with eco-friendly coloring course with IQF level II and SGC of hand-
drawn spouted pot making with level III are described in the following tables.
Table 0.11. Example of Learning Outcomes of an IQF Level III Batik Course
The inclusion process of higher education qualifications to IQF is undertaken by enacting the
Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education 44 of 2015 on National
Standards for Higher Education/Standar Nasional Pendidikan Tinggi (NSHE/SN-Dikti), which was
currently renewed in Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education 50 of
2018. Based on the NSHE, to be awarded and recognized, qualifications resulted from higher
learning modalities should consider the following significant importances:
1. Nation’s sovereignty. Learning outcomes of a study program should consider ideology, local
culture, indigenous, as well as green and safe environment of Indonesia.
2. Nation’s competitiveness, in terms of readiness to enter workplace and stimulate economic
growth via entrepreneurship. Economic factor such as job market relevancy and availability
should be regarded as important considerations for any higher education institution in catering
the programs. The consideration should target in reducing unemployment and promoting skilled
workers and professional motilities.
3. Advanced and frontier science and technology development. The stimulus of 4.0 industry and
the incoming of 5.0 society should be included as an important part of qualifications.
4. Development of better learning system and methodology.
To strengthen this inclusion, the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education derives the
IQF description into the NSHE as outlined in Regulation of the Ministry of Research, Technology and
Higher Education on NSHE, as stated in the following Exhibit 3.9 and Table 3.16.

Table 0.12. Mapping between IQF and Higher Education Standard Domains
Authorization for a higher education institution in undertaking the study program with specific
qualifications is awarded by the MoRTHE (Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and
Higher Education 50 of 2018 on NSHE) and MoRA (Law 46 of 2019 on Religious Higher Education).
Both Ministries develop policy, regulations, guidelines, standard operating procedures and available
publicly.
A higher education institution that would like to cater any program resulted in a certain
qualifications bearing IQF level, should firstly perform analyses of relevancy of the targeted
qualifications with relevant stakeholders, then design and plan the programs that should satisfy the
NSHE. The proposed program will be assessed by the Ministry and National Accreditation Agency.
The Ministry approves en banc the qualifications and registers it at Data Centre of Higher Education.
For all registered and recognized programs existed before IQF establishment, the higher education
institution should restate their target outcomes and provide evidence that the IQF level is suitable
and relevant for the program,as illustrated in Exhibit 3.10.
The higher education institution should renew or revise all study programs’ curricula accordingly.
The program outcomes have to satisfy the minimum learning outcomes stated by the ministry
according to the NSHE. These standards are base for awarding qualifications and were produced by
sectoral studies through various focused group discussions by academicians in consultations with
key players in industry, relevant private agencies, and other major stakeholders. Such FGDs solicit
inputs, comments, suggestions, and recommendations for ministry to provide en banc the national
standards on learning outcomes. All higher education across Indonesia which catering these study
programs should place the learning outcomes as their minimum standard. The higher education can
elevate the national standard in accord with the institution vision, mission, local wisdom, local
indigenous, uniqueness, and strength.
In assessing the qualifications from study programs existed in several IQF levels, the Ministry
provides guidelines for qualification levels. For instance, the difference, key words, scope of body of
knowledge of three year diploma or Bachelor Program, Bachelor with Honors, Professional Bachelor,
Master, and Doctoral Program of Engineering, are as follows:
solving policy from engineering point of view using engineering rule and principle
4. Able to navigate the latest issue and the development of science in their engineering field
into the development process of science and technology, or the development of policy in
engineering
The same procedures are applied for study programs in the same categories. For instance, all study
programs in linguistic at IQF level VI should bear minimum qualifications as follows:
Knowledge
1. Master in-depth the concept of linguistics theoretically
2. Master the concept of literature in general theoretically
3. Master the concept of cultural anthropology in general, especially relevant with the local
culture in Indonesia
4. Master the general concept, principles and grammar structures and vocabularies
5. Master the general concept, principles and grammar structures and vocabularies in
language proficiencies, either in verbal or written in the context of formal routines or in
general
6. Master the completion of writing principles and character readings
7. Master the principles and methods of research in linguistics, literature and language
philologists
8. Master the general concepts and principles of historical values, social cultures, ideas and
morals of society, literature and social cutures of Indonesia
Specific Skills
1. Able to analyze and evaluate appropriately and critically in various contexts of
information in the formal context of verbal and written, routines or general, academic
and work
2. Able to communicate and convey ideas into language skillfully, either in verbal or written
with appropriate vocabularies and grammar structures in accord to formal and informal
contexts based on proper language proficiency with minial equivalent to C1 (Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages)
3. Able to read and write characters in a skilled manner based on the writing rules
4. Able to translate Indonesian to English and vice versa, either in the formal contexts of
verbal or written and routines or general
5. Able to present the history and social culture of limited scope using the first language in
verbal and written
At present, 285 learning outcomes standards of study programs as mandated by the NSHE have
been recognized, as stated in Table 3.17.

Higher education institutions are authorized for awarding qualifications after the program had been
accredited by accreditation agencies recognized by the government (Regulation of the Minister of
Research, Technology, and Higher Education on NSHE), as itemized in the Table 3.18. Higher
education institutions can only award professional designation and certificate with approval from
relevant professional associations or councils.

4. Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia (Indonesian Institute of Architects)
5. Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia
Although the inclusion mechanism is well equipped with policy, regulations, guidelines, and standard
operating procedures, indication of learning outcomes achievement is only attained by assuming the
optimum implementation of outcome based curricula. Currently all study programs in Indonesia are
on the juncture of shifting their curricula to outcome based education.
The National Accreditation Agencies has issued new instrument that encompasses indicator for
measuring the outcomes realizations (Regulation of the National Accreditation Agency for Higher
Education 4 of 2017 on Policies in Developing Accreditation Instruments). Since this instrument is
only recently instigated, supporting evidence for learning outcomes achievement are relied on the
outcome based international accreditation. There are 296 study programs attained international
accreditation from 26 agencies. From those 26 agencies, only one does not measure outcome
achievements, as stated in the following Tables 3.19 and 3.20, respectively.

Exhibit 0.12. RPL as tools to recognize individual education, obtained from formal,non-formal, in-

In Indonesia, terms of RPL and RCC are specifically designated with different target recognition. Thus
individuals with working experiences have a choice wether they would like to gain recognition for
their current competences or for their education attainment. If they would like to obtain recognition
for their current competences, they have to take various RCC test done by PCB, CCB, or other
professional bodies. Mechanisms for awarding qualififcations depends on the PCB, CCB, and the
professional bodies.
For recognition of education attainment, person with working experiences may go to higher
education institution that carried out RPL program. The practice of RPL was trialed on seven
polytechnics, prior to promulgation of Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and
Higher Education 26 of 2016 on Recognition of Prior Learning. The regulation legalizes recognition
and equalization all types of non-formal and informal learning outcomes by higher education
institution with IQF Levels three to nine. The immediate result of RPL process is a credit exemption,
whilst degree and diploma are the end result of RPL, after applicant fulfil the all the required credits.
Currently there are 40 Polytechnics undertake the RPL program. Each polytechnic could have one or
two study programs that undertake RPL. Mapping between competences’ certificates resulted in
non-formal learning towards formal learning is the back bone for assessing the credit waiver. Below
is a best practice run by Professional Bachelor of Road and Bridge Constructions at Bandung State
Polytechnic that can correlate relevant 21 INWCS(s) with education processes in the study program,
as shown in Table 3.21.

CRITERION IV
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
The Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF) has been established through several formal
regulations as follows:
1. Presidential Regulation 8 of 2012 on the IQF
2. Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 73 of 2013 on Implementation of the IQF for
Higher Education
3. Regulation of the Minister of Manpower 21 of 2014 on Guidelines in Implementing the IQF
The procedure of comparing, associating, linking, equating or equaling descriptors IQF with level
descriptors of the AQRF is carried though a robust and transparent by professional judgements. The
process was conducted by using best-fit method, with the following procedures:
1. Align the four domains of IQF to the two domains of AQRF by examining the aspect of cognitive,
affective and psycho-motorics implied in the descriptors of the respective domains.
2. Exclude the moral and ethics domain from the level linking process, because this domain is not
leveled in the IQF.
3. Link the IQF levels to the AQRF levels by:
a. Comparing the aligned domains side by side for all levels;
b. Matching explicit keywords;
The above procedure is seemingly an administrative process and desk analyses of the descriptors.
Therefore, in order to fulfil a robust procedure, information in this criterion should not be treated as
an independent chapter, but need to be meticulously linked with information in the Criteria III, IV
and V, particularly evidence to support qualifications’ inclusion in the IQF and quality assurance in
awarding the qualifications. Whilst the requirement to be a transparent procedure is fulfilled by
desiminating, soliciting inputs, and focused group discussion amongs relevant stakeholders, as
mentioned in Criteria II and VII.
The best fit-in analyses were conducted by experts from universities, professional societies,
goverment leaders, who have in-depth knowledge on the implementation of the IQF in various
sectors both nationally and internationally, as well as understanding of the quality assurance system
in education, training and work experiences, and a comprehensive and integrative insight into
Indonesian human resources development.
In line with the fundamental state ideology and in harmony with the culture of Indonesian people,
the IQF embraces the process of emergent character and identity of Indonesian people by defining
four domains and nine competence levels. The IQF domains are (1) Moral and Ethics, (2) Knowledge
Comprehensions, (3) Working Responsibility and Accountability, and (4) Working Skills. Meanwhile,
the AQRF defines eight competence levels within two domains, which are (1) Knowledge and Skills
and (2) Application and Responsibility. The referencing process of IQF into the AQRF was conducted
using the Best Fit-In method. Firstly, the IQF domains are aligned with the AQRF domains as
illustrated in Exhibit .
Knowledge Working
Knowledge &
Comprehensions Skills Skills
Exhibit 0.1. The alignment of four domains of IQF with the two domains of AQRF.
The alignment between the IQF domains and the AQRF domains is examined side by side in the
following table.
The alignment shows that the four domains of IQF almost perfectly matched with the two domains
of AQRF. Thus, the AQRF’s knowledge and skills domain (B) is closely equaled by the IQF’s knowledge
comprehensions (3) and working skills (4) domains. Meanwhile, the AQRF’s application and
responsibility domain (A) is closely similar to the IQF’s responsibility and accountability domains (1
and 2), although from different perspectives. In this case, the AQRF concerns about the process
(application), while the IQF expects the result (accountability). The notably addition is, the IQF
explicitly stated the domain of moral and ethics domain (1), because this domain is an embodiment
of Indonesian. The AQRF allows such specific inclusion since ethical competence is valued by ASEAN
member states for enhancing the capacity of people to gain other competence.
The definition of IQF leveling was formally stated in Presidential Regulation on the IQF. It declares
that the moral and ethics domain is essential for all people regardless the education and working
experiences, thus does not need leveling. It is elaborated into the following competences:
Except for the aforementioned moral and ethics aspect, the IQF defines 9 levels for the other three
domains which can be aligned into the 8 levels of AQRF as illustrated in Exhibit 1.5. and reposted
again in this part. The red and blue arrows indicate the weight proportion of the IQF and AQRF
description respectively. The longer the red arrow, the more dominat IQF is compared to the AQRF;
and vice versa if the blue arrow is longer. The above mentioned is factually describing the best fit-in
method utilized in comparing, associating, linking, equating or equaling descriptors IQF and AQRF.

(Repost of) Exhibit 1.5. The Illustration of level descriptors allignment between IQF and AQRF.
In general, only two levels are equivalent between IQF and AQRF, in which IQF level six equals to
AQRF level five and IQF level seven equal to AQRF level six. Above that common levels, level eight
and level nine of IQF are comparable to level seven and level eight of AQRF respectively, with little
difference since the AQRF scope is fuller than IQF. The AQRF describes the accountability and
responsibility person with qualifications of VII and VIII is sounder comparing the respective
qualifications of level VIII and IX of IQF.
On the other side, the IQF level five has greater scope compared to AQRF level four. Below that,
there are significant differences among lower levels. As can be seen in Exhibit 1.5, the IQF level III
and IV should be combined to be aligned into AQRF level III. Similarly, the IQF levels II and I are
aligned together to AQRF level two. Then, level one of AQRF does not match with any level of IQF.
The detailed comparison of each level and the respective domains are given in Tables 4.2 to 4.8.
From AQRF perspective, this level seems associated with a doctoral degree education, in which a
person is expected to conduct an emerging scientific research, however although the nature of level
qualifications is closely relevant, such qualifications can be achieved through various pathways in IQF
perspective. Some people in Indonesia who does not have a formal higher education degree,
conducted research or innovative invention that can solve complex problem or even an abstract
issue.
By comparing the domain 3 of IQF to the B domain of AQRF, it can be seen that the qualifications of
IQF level IX which capable of organizing, leading and cultivating research and development useful to
science and valuable to human civilization is comparable to undertake authoritative and expert
judgment in management of research or an organization. The rest of domain B of AQRF appears on
domain 2 and 4. The IQF domain 2 and 4 also are well within the AQRF domain A. Therefore, it can
be said that the IQF level IX is equivalent with the AQRF level VIII.
Table 0.3. The IQF Level VIII Compared to AQRF Level VII
This level associated with a person expected to conduct professional tasks are including specialist, or
director of a company, an exhibit mastery in his or her knowledge comprehension. The IQF domain 2
is reflected in part of domain B which in undertaking a task (organizing research and development
useful to society that can obtain international recognitions); a person should require expert
judgement and significant responsibility for professional knowledge, practice and management.
The rest of AQRF domain B and all descriptions in domain A are within IQF domains 2 and 4.
Therefore, the IQF level VIII can be justifiably linked to the AQRF level VII.

Among the other levels, the IQF level VI is the pivotal link to the AQRF level V, as statements from
IQF and AQRF use the same keywords and both imply that the qualified person should be able to
independently understand the problems, find the optimal solution, and then if necessary, lead other
people to accomplished targeted organization’s performance.
Capable of applying science, technology and art is detailed technical and theoretical

This level appears representing the senior supervisors in professional field which capability of man
and project management while having in- depth technical knowledge and or broad insight. In this
case, the description of IQF level V shows higher competences as well as knowledge comprehension
than the respective AQRF level IV, as highlighted key words in the above table. For instance, it
specifically explicit requirement of managing and writing report capabilities.
Table 0.7. The IQF Level IV and III Compared to AQRF Level III
Partial description of IQF level IV, particularly in domain 3 and 4 shows higher competences as well as
knowledge comprehension than the respective AQRF level III, as highlighted key words in the above
table. For instance, the qualifications describe capability to analyze limited information and able to
select a correct method from several standardized choices. However, domain 2 of IQF descrtiption is
closely fit within description of AQRF level III.
Partial description of IQF level III, particularly in domain 3 represents the capability of cooperating
and performing good communication skills within her/his job coverage which is higher than
description of AQRF level III, nonetheless, the rest of domains 2 and 4 in the IQF level III have close
similarity with respected description of AQRF level III, as shown by underlined key words.
Therefore, using the best fit-in methods, it can be concluded that IQF Level IV and III ensemble in
level III of AQRF.
Table 0.8. The IQF Level II and I Compared to AQRF Level II and I
Analysis
Description of all domains in IQF level II higher than description of AQRF level II, for instance the
capability of choosing available solutions which is above than competences to do structured process
in level II AQRF. Furthermore, capacity of carrying out specific tasks with demonstration of
measurable quality performance also shows higher working competences comparing description of
AQRF qualifications level II.
Description of IQF level I is very intently linked to the level II AQRF descriptor, and above that the
level I of AQRF, as shown by underlined key words. IQF domain 3 (Responsible only for her/his own
job and not for another person's job) is not described in the AQRF level II.
Based on the aforesaid best fit-in analyses, it can be concluded that IQF level I and II is linked to the
AQRF level II. There is no match for AQRF level I in the IQF.
The four domains of IQF are well aligned into the four domains of AQRF. Moreover, the IQF has
properly defined moral and ethics domain, which is not explicitly stated by the AQRF, but it is
recommended to be detailed according to each country.
Meanwhile, the IQF defined 9 levels of qualifications which are equivalent into seven out of eight
AQRF levels, because the IQF level I is higher than the AQRF level I. Thus, Indonesian work forces can
be assumed to have this competence level by default. Meanwhile, for foreign people coming to
Indonesia should have at least the AQRF level II, which will be acknowledged as equal as IQF level II.
Therefore, this issue can be cleared, and no further work is needed by IQNC to be fully AQRF
compliance.
To engender mutual trust from other AMS in the matter of IQF impelemtation and its referencing
concequences, Indonesia has commited to improve significantly its education system and respected
quality assurance system, in accord with vision stated by the elected President for 2019 – 2025.
CRITERION V
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
Acronym/Abbreviation Explanation
Pelatihan Kerja)
Oxford dictionary defines standard as a measure of quality attainment; or agreed level of quality
attainment. Therefore, standard is imperative in assuring quality in attaining a certain level of
competency.
In measuring competency, standards are commonly defined as descriptors of the learning outcome.
In a quality assurance system, however, standards are needed not only limited for the learning
outcome, but also needed for outcomes at each stage of the learning process.
Process, stages, and standards, as illustrated in Exhibit 5.1, are required for the quality assurance
mechanism to implement at each stage. By using standards as reference, the deviation could be
carefully measured and used for improving the process.
The process of education and training to achieve a certain competency could be divided into several
stages. A simple example is the process in formal education, e.g. 3 years Diploma. The graduate’
competence is demonstrated by relevant descriptors. In order to achieve the graduate’s
competences for a 3-year Diploma program, a set of required courses is defined. Each course has its
own learning outcome, whilst each topic supports one or more learning outcomes, and so on.
Nevertheless, the mechanism to identify the stages in a process of developing a competency is not
always as simple as that, particularly in the informal process, such as Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL). To be able to identify the stages as well as intermediate outcomes, an intensive consultancy
with the relevant stakeholders is essential.
Standards are set by the authority as mandated by the prevailing Law 20 of 2003 on the National
Education System and Article 52 paragraph (3) Law 12 of 2012 on Higher Education. Nonetheless, in
some specific cases such as competency-based training, standards are set based on agreement
between the training providers and the users or employers.
If qualifications are to be valued by the holders of qualifications (the graduates), the labor market
(employers of both professional and skilled human resources and labor unions), governments and
the community and have credibility internationally, a country needs a set of standards for its
qualifications that are nationally acceptable and can be translated internationally.
As mandated by the Law on the National Education System, the government has issued Government
Regulation 19 of 2005 on National Education Standards, establishing the Agency for National
Standards in Education or ANSE/BSNP (Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan). ANSE is an independent
and professional with a mandate to develop the national standards of education, monitor and
evaluate its implementation. In 2015, the National Education Standards was amended by
Government Regulation 13 of 2015. Table 5.1 presents the standard set, the authority, and the
related regulation.
Table 5.1. List of Standard Set and its Respective Ministerial Regulation
The national standard, which was developed by ANSE, is used as a national benchmark for quality in
the education process. Members of the ANSE are appointed by the Minister of Education and
Culture representing relevant stakeholders, i.e. school teachers, professors, experts in education,
industries, employers, and other concerned community. In developing the national standards, ANSE
intensively consulted relevant stakeholders, who are non ANSE members. The national standards set
by the Regulation of the Minister of National Education for basic and secondary education, as well as
for non-formal education.
The existing national standards focus too much attention to input and process, instead of output and
outcome. The qualification framework, on the other hand, focuses on descriptors for output and
outcome. Therefore, ANSE is currently in the process of revising the national standards to
accommodate this requirement.
Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education sets the standards for the
National Standards for Higher Education/Standar Nasional Pendidikan Tinggi (NSHE/SN-Dikti). These
standards were developed after issuance of Presidential Regulation 8 of 2012 on the Indonesian
Qualifications Framework/Kerangka Kompetensi Nasional Indonesia (IQF/KKNI), thus has already
shifted from standardizing input, process, output, but also focus on learning outcomes.
Standards of competency in non-formal education comprise knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The
non- formal education uses the following three level standards of competency:
1. National standards:
a. Indonesian National Work Competency Standards/Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional
Indonesia (INWCS/SKKNI)6; or
b. Standards for Graduate Competences/Standar Kompetensi Lulusan (SGC/SKL)7;
2. International standard(s); and
3. Special standard(s).

The guidelines stipulated by Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration PER.21/MEN/X/2007 on
Guidelines in Establishing the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional
Indonesia), which was later revised by Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration 8 of 2012.

IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
of Manpower 3 of 2016 on Directions in Establishing INWCS. INWCS covers knowledge, skills, and
attitude, and shall be used as a national reference in developing a competency. INWCS could be
arranged in a package consisting of clusters of competences and/or units of competences (unit
kompetensi), occupancy, or job title (jabatan).
GCS are developed by ANSE and enacted by Regulations of the Minister of Education and Culture.
The descriptors used in these standards are similar with the descriptors used in INWCS, and refer to
the IQF levels of qualifications, international standards, as well as special standards. Regulations of
the Minister of Education and Culture 131 of 2014, 5 of 2016, 27 of 2017, and 11 of 2019 on
Standards of Graduate Competences govern 74 different fields in courses. From these 74 fields, to
date, 140 qualifications have been defined and enacted. National standards in other aspects, as
described in section 5.3.1, are also applied in trainings and courses conducted under the MoEC.
5.2. Benchmarking
National Standards are the minimum standards to be achieved. Therefore, each educational unit
could develop its own standards beyond the national standards. Benchmarking is the process of
comparing an organizational performance with the available best practices, which have been
implemented by other organizations considered as “better”. In this case, the national standards are
not used anymore as reference, since higher standards, i.e. international standards, are used
instead.
The common understanding is that standards should be set by external parties. However internally
set standards are as important as the externally set standards, as described in the following sections.
5. Teachers and supporting staff: standards on pre-service training, mental and physical
qualifications, and in-service training.
6. Infrastructure: standard on classroom, sport facilities, prayer room, library, laboratory,
workshop, playground, recreation hall, and other facilities as required supporting learning
process, e.g. ICT facilities.
7. Management: standards on planning, implementing, and supervising education activities at
education unit, district/municipality, province, or national in order to achieve efficient and
effectiveness.
8. Financing: standards on components and value for operational cost in each education unit,
applicable for one year.
Based on the framework, ANSE has developed various standards for most types of education
provisioned in Indonesia, including:
1. The National Standards for Basic and Secondary Education
Currently, ANSE is in the process of revising the aforementioned eight standards in order to cope
with the new and contemporary challenges, particularly to emphasize more on output and
outcome.
2. The National Standards for Vocational Secondary Schools
The MoEC has recently enacted Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 34 of 2018
on the National Standards for Vocational Secondary Schools.
3. National Standards for Other Types of Education
In the implementation, special standards are needed to assure quality for students who have
special needs. Law on the National Education System identifies the following groups with special
needs:
a. Special education: education for students with learning difficulties, due to limitation in their
physical, emotional, mental, social, and/or special intellectual ability. Students in such groups
are commonly categorized as Students with Special Needs (Peserta Didik Berkebutuhan
Khusus or PDBK). For these groups additional standards refer to Regulation of the Minister of
National Education 33 of 2008 on Standards for Infrastructure for Special Schools. Thus,
requirements for Students with special needs are not limited to infrastructure. Their special
needs require special standards, i.e. the other 6 standards, as a reference. Students with
special needs also include those who have extraordinary intelligence. The needs of this group
have not been properly accommodated in the Ministerial regulations. That is why currently
ANSE is in its process in developing those standards, to be issued this year.
b. Special services: is services targeted for students located in remote and backward areas, e.g.
isolated, victims of natural or social disaster, and economically disadvantaged8. Special
standards for this group have not been developed. The only regulation covering such group is
the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 67 of 2016 on the Provision of Special
Services Education. ANSE is currently developing such standards, to be issued this year.
c. Education units based on cooperation: is an education unit established and organized in
cooperation with accredited foreign education unit9. Regulation of the Minister of Education
and Culture 31 of 2014 on Cooperation in the Provision and Management of Education

between Foreign and Indonesian Education Institutions shall comply with the prevailing
regulations on the eight education standards, though accommodates specific characteristics
of the cooperating partners.
A particular attention needs to be given to graduate competency, whereby standards shall refer to
descriptors for learning outcome in Indonesian Qualifications Framework/Kerangka Kualifikasi
Nasional Indonesia (IQF/KKNI). Furthermore, the qualifications set shall take into account the
equivalency with the qualification levels in the IQF. The formulation of skills set by the MoRTHE
applies for all similar study programs, consists of generic skills developed by each higher education
institution, and specific skills developed by the group of similar study programs.
The current NSHE is widely considered as having too focused on input and process, and less
attention on output. Therefore, the currently the NSHE is in the process of being revised, mostly by
giving more attention to output and outcome. In addition to the NSHE, additional standards are also
applicable as explained as follows.
1. Standards set by higher education Institutions
Since the national standards are minimum standards, higher education institution could set its
own standards higher than the national standards. It is common for more established
institutions to use international standards as reference. Some institutions implement
benchmarking strategy by adopting best practices implemented at internationally reputable
institutions.
2. Standards on content
Some study programs at certain higher education institutions also develop their own curriculum
and syllabus based on internatioal standards, or standards set by related international
professional association, as long as they are not conflicting with the national standards.
3. Standards in learning outcomes
Presidential Regulation on the IQF requires that all study programs, as well as courses and skill
training offerings, to adjust their learning outcomes with reference to the IQF. It revives the
concept of competency standards in courses and training. Courses and training that previously
used competency standards emphasizing education achievement need to adjust their learning
outcomes to skill formations and make this information available for the public. In order to
improve transparency, the qualifications and competences of a graduate should be stated in a
document, termed as Diploma Supplement (Surat Keterangan Pendamping Ijasah), as required
by Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 81 of 2014 on Higher Education
Diplomas, Certificates of Competency, and Professional Certificates. Since the reputation of the
issuing institution is currently crucial in appreciating the graduate’s competences, the usage of
the Diploma Supplement provides additional information to improve the stakeholders’ trust and
confidence of graduate outcomes.
By July 2019, 815 packages/units of competency (unit kompetensi) have been defined in the main
economic sectors. Due to rapid technological development, to date 98 packages/units have been
revoked and cannot be referred anymore. Therefore, only 815 packages are currently used as
reference, as illustrated in Table 5.2. Nonetheless, the number of packages/units of competences to
be developed yet is still very large, considering the rapid changes in businesses and industries. Jobs
in logistics are only one example of new occupation in the market that requires definitions of
competency standards.

In reality, however, a certificate is merely a piece of paper. The value of the paper in the field
depends on the credibility and recognition of the organization that conducts the test and awards the
certificate. Credibility is not determined by the formal recognition through a piece of paper signed
by an authorized official, but more on the track record, as well as trust, confidence, and reputation
earned.
5.3.3. Accreditation
official certification that a school or course has met standards set by external regulators.
Some documents and literatures also define accreditation similar with certification, creating
confusion on the true meaning of these two terms. In the context of Indonesia, accreditation is used
to measure the quality of the organization who conduct the certification process, or the organization
quality that carry out an education process toward a certain learning outcome.
Internal evaluation could use either internally or externally set standards. Internal evaluation is
basically the core activity in the quality assurance process that ensures sustainability. Therefore, the
existence of a quality assurance unit within an organization, its procedures and implementation
mechanism, as well as its implementation in the field, is the essence of entire quality assurance
process. External evaluation is always needed as a feedback mechanism for the organization to
continuously improve its quality.
External evaluation focuses its attention to the quality of final result of the entire process, or the
learning outcome, whilst the internal evaluation considers the intermediate results as important as
the learning outcome. Due to this reason, the level of details in the internal evaluation is supposed
to be much more in term of depth. This is particularly true when a diagnostic process will be carried
out to identify root causes and design a program to rectify it. Without sufficient information of the
intermediate result, it will be difficult to conduct diagnosis to identify root causes and design the
plan to rectify the weaknesses.
Internal evaluation shall begin with self-evaluation, which has to be conducted in honest,
comprehensive, and transparent manner. Self-evaluation does not aim to find who is to blame, but
to find weaknesses, identify its root causes, and design actions to rectify it.
Periodic internal evaluation is conducted by first setting the standards. This stage is carried out
when the entire standards is designed, developed, and finally set by the highest authority within the
organization. It is followed by implementation of standards, whereby all efforts are devoted by all
members of the organization to achieve the standards set.
Evaluation is carried out when a certain set of activities have reached its final step, to check whether
the results match with the standards used as a reference. Standards have to be controlled through
monitoring, implementing the necessary corrective actions, evaluating, properly documenting all
actions, as well as comply with all reporting procedures. Adjustment of standards is the final step
when standards are evaluated, and decision is made whether to keep or adjust the standards.
In some organizations, monitoring is carried out by the supervisor or super ordinate with a mandate
to conduct inspection. Such monitoring process could be considered as an external evaluation by an
implementing unit, though it is carried out by a unit within the larger organization.
Recognition of the final result of an education and training process depends on the reputation,
confidence, and credibility of the implemented quality assurance mechanism. Credibility and
confidence are important both nationally and internationally if the qualifications are to be
recognized as having value. Quality assurance must cover the approval processes of the programs of
study leading qualifications (often referred to as accreditation), approval of providers authorized to
deliver, assess and issue the qualifications (often referred to as accreditation or registration). That is
why the quality assurance system needs to be well documented in writing and sufficiently details as
part of consideration. The availability of a good written documentation is essential in the process of
evaluating the quality assurance system.

Quality standard for each stage shall be defined first. The standard is essential as a reference in
measuring quality, without which measuring will not be possible. Stages in the process need to be
defined, as well as the quality standard for each stage. The QA mechanism will consolidate the
measurement result at all stages, and determine whether the quality standards for the entire
process have been met.
6.1. Objectives
The ultimate and long term objectives of a quality assurance system are to develop a quality culture
within the implementing organization. The main characteristic of an organization which possesses
quality culture is its aspiration to continuously improve quality, even without the existence of any
pressure from external parties. Such aspiration is not only seen at each unit within the organization,
but also demonstrated by the attitude of each individual member of the organization.
A quality assurance mechanism is needed for all organizations, even for an organization with an
already strong quality culture. The QA is essential as a feedback mechanism to continuously improve
quality. The aspiration to improve quality in such organization is supposed to be more internally
driven, rather than to meet the requirements set by external parties, e.g. accreditation, certification,
or qualification agency.
The concept of continuous improvement was adopted from the Kaizen principle, commonly
implemented in the Japanese industries. Exhibit 6.1 illustrates the quality assurance mechanism
based on the Kaizen principle. The standards are continuously evaluated to be kept or adjusted. The
adopted standards will be integrated to the Standard, Do, Check, Act (SDCA) system.
The quality assurance mechanism should be imbedded in each organizational unit. The audit
mechanism conducted by the Internal Quality Assurance Unit is considered as a feedback to the
relevant unit. Similar consideration is also applied for the audit mechanism conducted by external
parties (accreditation). Such condition could only be demonstrated when all units within the
organization has independently implemented the Kaizen principles.

Other cases, whereby the similar principle is applied, are school final examination and the entrance
examination to the university system. In both cases, the decision of pass or fail is almost entirely
depend on that one time observation. In these cases the reward of passing the exam is significantly
high that drives some participants to beat the system by cheating or other manipulative measures.
Therefore, a sustainable quality assurance system has to be rigorously implemented internally within
the training providers and externally through accreditation, as well as other mechanisms. In assuring
quality, performance is measured by comparing the achievement against the set standards. An
internal unit within the organization or an external party could conduct the measurement.
To promote quality assurance of education and training across the region, the AQRF is underpinned
by a set of agreed quality assurance principles and broad standards related to:
1. The functions of the registering and accrediting agencies;
2. Systems for the assessment of learning and the issuing of qualifications; and
3. Regulation of the issuance of certificates.
The AQRF requires AMS to refer to one or more established quality assurance frameworks as the
basis for the agreed quality assurance principles and broad standards. These frameworks are to be
used as the benchmark for evaluating the quality assurance systems for the relevant education and
training sectors.
Quality assurance in basic and secondary education is carried out by internal evaluation as well as
external evaluation, as described in the following sections.
Internal evaluation
Internal evaluation is carried out through a set of assessments in learning process, which for some
are defined as exclusively part of learning assessment, beyond quality assurance. Nonetheless, these
assessment processes should be properly conducted to ensure quality that they are deliberated in
the following sections.
1. Monitoring by Principal and Teachers
Monitoring conducted by the Principal could include observation of student’s daily behavior,
including attitude, spiritual as well as social.
2. School examination
School Examination is self organized by accredited School / Madrasah, aims to measure learning
outcome and student’s competency, by using the national standards on graduate competency as
a reference. In addition to the national standards, final result shall also consider the assessment
conducted by teachers.
3. School Examination based on national standards
School Examination based on national standards aims to measure learning outcome and
student’s competency, by using the national standards on graduate competency as a reference.
The examination is self organized by all accredited basic and secondary schools, including
Madrasah at all levels, Vocational schools, and Schools for Students with special needs. In order
to be recognized, the examination shall refer to the national standards on Graduate’s
Competency. Students with special needs at primary schools are required to take this
examination, whilst this requirement is waived at secondary level.
4. Competency test
Competency Test aims to measure learning outcome and student’s competency according to the
level of competency targeted during the learning process at the vocational secondary school.
The practical test is conducted to test knowledge and attitude one event. The test is conducted
by school and refers to the standards set by the industries, Professional Certification bodies, or
External evaluation
External evaluation in Indonesia usually is done for ensuring quality of programs that receive public
funds. Program has to pronounced input, process, output, and outcomes accountability to society.
1. Licensing
Since the management of basic and secondary education is decentralized to the regional
government, the authority to establish schools lies in the hands of the respective Regional
Education Office or Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah (SKPD) Pendidikan. This unit is structured
under the Head of the Regional Government (Province, District, or Municipality).
2. Monitoring by School/Madrasah Supervisor
School supervisor is a functional position with a scope of duty, responsibility, and authority of
supervising the academic and managerial aspects of education unit11. The academic and
managerial aspects include developing supervision program, implementing supervision,
monitoring the implementation of National Education Standards; assessing, advising, and
training of teachers; evaluating the result of supervision program; and conduct supervision at
special region. School supervisor is required to have eight years of experience as teacher, or four
years experience as Principal at relevant level of school. The scope of work of the school
supervisor at basic and secondary education include supervising primary schools and madrasah
ibtidaiyah, cluster of courses at secondary schools, and supervision and counseling. School
supervisor supervise schools under his/her supervision, which could be located at the same
province/district/municipality or cross districts/municipalities, as set by the authorized official.
3. Monitoring by School Committee
School Committee is an independent entity consists of students’ parents, school community, and
community leaders who are concerned with education. This committee is established to improve
quality of education services by providing recommendation, direction, and support in terms of
man-hours and infrastructure, as well as supervision to the related school.
4. Monitoring by Education Council
Education Council is an independent entity comprises members from various community groups
who are concerned with education. The council is established and active in improving quality of
education services by providing recommendation, direction, and support in terms of man-hours
and infrastructure, as well as supervision at the levels of national, province, district/municipality,
and does not have hierarchical relation.
5. National examination
National examination, organized nationally by the Ministry of Education and Culture, aims to
measure learning outcome and student’s competency instead of evaluate learning process, by
using the national standards of graduate competences developed by ANSE for a particular
course as a reference. Three main courses included in the examination are Indonesian Language
(Bahasa Indonesia), English, and Mathematics.

Visitation to the designated school/madrasah is carried out by at least two assessors for each
school/madrasah. Assessor shall be 30-58 years of age, has at least a four-year college degree,
has sufficient work experiences and relevant education background, and possesses adequate ICT
skills. For teacher, he/she is required to come from accredited school/madrasah. Assessor is also
expected to have sufficient social skills and excellent personality.
The accreditation status consists of accredited and not accredited. The accredited status is
divided into 3 levels, namely A (excellent), B (accredited), and C (sufficient). The result is
announced concurrently by BAN-SM and the provincial BAN-SM.
8. The Indonesian National Assessment Program
Indonesian National Assessment Program/Asesmen Kompetensi Siswa Indonesia (INAP/AKSI) is a
survey to monitor school quality at national level. The longitudinal survey gathers data from
basic and secondary schools, aiming to acquire valid information on student’s competency and
its affecting factors. Data and information acquired provides inputs for the policy making and
programs’ improvement. The sample included in the INAP includes students from Grades 4, 8,
and 11 from primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary schools, as well as madrasahs from
all provinces. The basic competences for students in Grade 4 are reading, writing, and counting.
The competences for students in Grades 8 and 11 are their level of readiness to achieve
graduate competences and life skills. The following three fields are included in the survey:
a. literacy in reading: understanding text, implementing text, reflecting text, and relating the
content of the text with their social context;
b. literacy in mathematics: formulating, applying, and interpreting mathematics in various
contexts; and
c. literacy in science: understanding knowledge in sciences, and with scientific thought
becomes a learning and responsible citizen.
Internal evaluation
Internal evaluation is conducted for assuring quality, based on internal regulations set by the higher
education institution. The implementation is carrried out by an internal quality assurance unit at the
institutions and Faculty level. Senior lecturers with sufficient experiences are assigned to manage
these QA units. Evidence of their qualifications is demonstrated by certificates issued by the
MoRTHE. Study programs at the institution are periodically audited as well as evaluated by these
units. In addition to the evaluation conducted by QA units, regular assessment is also embedded
within the learning process.
External evaluation
External evaluation in higher education is carried out through accreditation process by the National
Accreditation Agency for Higher Education/Badan Akreditasi Nasional – Perguruan Tinggi (NAA-
HE/BAN-PT), Independent Accreditation Institutes (Lembaga Akreditasi Mandiri), and international
accreditation bodies. In addition to accreditation, certification process is also carried out by various
professional associations. The government is also responsible to provide license prior to the
establishment of an institution and a program, except for autonomous universities.
1. Licensing
The procedure to establish an education and training program is stipulated in the Decree of the
Minister of National Education 234/U/2000 on Guidelines in Establishing Higher Education
Institutions and Directorate General of Higher Education Decree 108/DIKTI/Kep/2001 on
Guidelines in Opening Study Programs and/or Majors based on the Decree of the Minister of
National Education 234/U/2000. A certain set of criteria shall be met as requirement to establish
an institution as well as education program. Autonomous universities are waived from such
requirements.
2. Accreditation by the NAA-HE
Accreditation is mandatory by Law, and the responsibility of the NAA-HE is to accreditate all
higher education institutions and all study programs. Exception is only applied for fields that are
already covered by Independent Accreditation Institutes. Higher education institutions under
the jurisdiction of other Ministries, such as Ministry of Finance/Kementerian Keuangan and
MoRA, shall be accredited by NAA-HE. Table 6.1 presents regulations on quality assurance and
its related issues.
The accreditation process is carried out by assessors, who are experience lecturers. Assessors
are selected through an administrative (paper based) selection and training. Those who are
considered qualified will be awarded a certificate.
Accreditation process is conducted by using the following nine criteria: (1) governance and
management, (2) students, (3) human resources, (4) financial, (5) infrastructure, (6) education,
(7) research, (8) community services, and (9) learning outcomes. Accreditation result is grouped
into three categories, namely A (excellent), B (good), and C (sufficient).
Table 6.2 illustrates the number of institutions and study programs have been accredited until
March 2019 by the NAA-HE and the Independent Institute for Accreditation of Health Higher
Education/Lembaga Akreditasi Mandiri Perguruan Tinggi Kesehatan (IIAHHE/LAMPTKes). The
accreditation status is valid for five years, and has to go through reaccreditation process before
its expiration date.
Study programs
A B C Total
436 1716 599 2751
4. International Accreditation
International accreditation is carried out on voluntary basis, based on special request submitted
by the study program. International accreditation aims to improve the providers’ reputation,
thus increase opportunity for its graduates to be globally employable.
5. International Evaluation
Some regional organizations, such as the ASEAN University Network (AUN), conduct external
evaluation based on request for study programs. Since this is a voluntary evaluation, the study
program has to submit a formal request to AUN. Assessors are recruited from the ASEAN
member states. AUN does not have any mandate or authority to conduct accreditation process.

IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
The external evaluation aims to provide feedback to the assessee in terms of its weaknesses and
strengths.
6. Professional Certification
In the context of Indonesia, the higher education sector also includes vocational education
conducted by polytechnics and in some cases by universities and colleges as well. Many of these
providers are also licensed to certify graduates of the study programs on behalf of relevant
professional associations. In some fields, the professional certification brings significant benefits
to the graduates so that many also put effort into acquiring it, either through their higher
education institution or directly from the professional association. In specific sectors such as
health and accounting, a national exit examination is organized by the relevant professional
association. Only examinees that pass this examination are certified, and without which a
graduate is not eligible to acquire the license to practice. Such national exit examinations have
been imposed for medical doctors, nurses, and accountants. While an important means of
checking competences, exit checks or tests should be accompanied by the assessment of
educational inputs through accreditation because experience indicates that over reliance on exit
examinations can encourage manipulation of the testing process.
The vocational skills training programs are mostly administered under the auspice of the Directorate
General of Early Childhood Education and Non-Formal Education in the MoEC and the Directorate
General of Training and Productivity in the Ministry of Manpower/Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan
(MoM/Kemenaker). Nonetheless, various technical Ministries and industries also undertake skills
trainings, e.g. the College of Aviation and the College of Maritime under the the Ministry of
Transportation/Kementerian Perhubungan (MoT/Kemenhub), vocational training programs under
the Ministry of Industry/Kementerian Perindustrian (MoI/Kemenperin), and training provided by
higher education institutions under the MoRTHE.
Programs under the MoEC and the MoRTHE use the National Education Standards developed by
ANSE, whilst programs under the MoM mostly use standards developed by the professional
associations under coordination of relevant ministries. Extensive consultancy process through an
intensive involvement of representatives of the relevant professional associations is carried out in
developing the standards by both Ministries. Both types of programs award certificate of
competency for its graduates.
b. Training and Short Course providers/Lembaga Kursus dan Pelatihan (TSC/LKP) and
Community Learning Program/Program Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat (CLP/PKBM) registered
at and accredited by the MoEC.
Internal evaluation
Internal evaluation is carried out by the provider itself during the period of courses or work training
process. The result of the evaluation process becomes the main input to the continuous
improvement of the learning process. It also benefits students in their preparation for taking the
certification test.

2. Accreditation by the National Accreditation Agency for Early Childhood Education and Non-
Formal Educaton
Accreditation of providers in Early Childhood Education and Non-Formal Education is conducted
by the National Accreditation Agency for Early Childhood Education and Non-Formal Education/
Badan Akreditasi Nasional – Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini dan Pendidikan Non-Formal (NAA-
ECENFE/BAN-PAUD PNF. In carrying out its task, the NAA-ECENFE is assisted by the provincial
level NAA-ECENFE, which is established by the respective Provincial Governor as a non-structural
entity. In general, accreditation is conducted every five years. In certain cases, accreditation
could be conducted less than five years, on assessee’s request. Accreditation by the NAA-ECENFE
is carried out according in the following steps:
a. Online submission of the self-evaluation report by the provider.
b. Review conducted by the NAA-ECENFE, and only those who meet the criteria will be
nominated to be visited.
c. Visitation by the NAA-ECENFE.
d. Process of validation and verification, followed by development of recommendations.
e. Plenary session to reconcile differences and followed by the final decision of issuance of the
accreditation certificate by the NAA-ECENFE.
The process of accreditation has been carried out since 2008, and in 2017 only 3,887 providers,
represents 23 percent of the existing providers, have been accredited.
3. Evaluation of Providers
TSCs are regularly evaluated covering four main aspects, namely (a) institutional, cooperation,
and partnership; (b) productivity of the human resources; (c) marketing, management, post
training services; and (d) financial. Evaluation is carried out through the following two steps:
a. A special team is established by the MoEC to conduct online verification. The team verifiy
the report and data submitted by the TSC.
b. Field verification is conducted for TSC who has passed the online verification process.
In the last eight years, 9,560 TSCs have been evaluated, which represents 47.44 percent of the
registered TSCs in Indonesia (2018). Based on the evaluation process, providers are grouped into
192 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
four different performance categories, namely A (best), B, C, and D (worst). Data until October
2018 shows that only 1.04 percent is considered in group A (best), 11.96 percent in group B,
45.12 percent in group C, and 36.04 percent in group D. The remaining 5.86 percent (560
providers) are considered “does not meet the criteria”.
4. Quality Mapping
Quality mapping is carried out by the MoEC to measure the TSC’s level of achievement, whereby
the National Education Standards is used as the threshold for the minimum service standard.
The process of mapping is conducted by supervisors (penilik)12, head of the MoEC units at district
or municipality level, and assessors. Activities include observation of the available physical
location (building, learning room, administration room, and other infrastructure), non physical
process (management and learning process), as well as interview of responsible staff. Aspects
observed include the level of achievement of National Standards’ indicators, obstacles,
commitment, and preparation toward accreditation.
12
A supervisor (penilik) is responsible to supervise TLC/LKP and assigned at the provincial office. Qualifications include 5
years experience as official in non-formal education, or school supervisor for formal education; academic qualifications and
competence as learning agent; certified as an education supervisor; and pass the selection process.
measures are applied in other fields. The need of quality to assure the certification process is
indeed necessary, and such responsibility will fall on the IQNC’s shoulder.
Although Recognition of Prior Learning/Rekognisi Pembelajaran Lampau (RPL) has been widely
practiced in industries to recognize employee’s competences for his/her career promotion, a
national standard procedure is relatively new for Indonesia. The recent initiative to implement RPL
in Indonesia aims to widen education access by providing the opportunity for employed workers to
pursue a further qualification by reentering formal education. Their prior experiences could be
assessed for some of the mandatory course work. RPL benefits participants who intend to continue
their study (Path A) and participants who intend to acquire recognition of equivalence to a certain
IQF level (Path B).
Similar procedures are applicable for supporting qualification improvement of faculty members who
apply for higher status faculty membership. A more important benefit for capitalizing the expertise
of industrial practitioners who, without an RPL procedure, will not be eligible to become lecturers in
vocational programs. In order to facilitate RPL implementation in higher education, Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture 73 of 2013 on Recognition of Prior Learning was issued. The
decree promotes RPL for life-long learning and facilitates RPL for recognizing professionals with
qualifications level 8 and 9 to become lecturers. However, an operational guideline to recognize
individual’s expertise and assign them in the institution’s personnel system has not been issued yet.
The Presidential Instruction 9 of 2017 on Revitalization of Vocational Education revives the concept
of competency standards in courses and training. Courses and training that previously used
competency standards emphasizing education achievement need to be adjusted to skills formation,
and allow such information available to the public. In order to improve transparency, the
qualifications and competences of a graduate are described in a document, called the Diploma
Supplement (Surat Keterangan Pendamping Ijasah), as required by Regulation of the Minister of
Education and Culture 81 of 2014 on Higher Education Diplomas, Certificates of Competency, and
Professional Certificates. Although the reputation of the issuing institution is currently crucial in
appreciating the graduate’s competences, the use of the Diploma Supplement provides additional
information to improve the stakeholders’ trust and confidence of graduate outcomes.
Beyond the education sector, in relation to IQF, it is essential for a RPL program to clearly develop
and ensure the relevance attainment of RPL against qualification level and learning outcome of the
IQF procedures. The IQF itself is generally designed to accommodate multi entry and multi exit
approach in which each qualification level can be attained from various endeavors of learning and
training.
Consequently, RPL program established by any RPL concerned party should ensure the same policy
framework as the IQF. In addition, the assessment approach should also consider recognizing and
13
This section quotes the report on “Support to the development of the Indonesian Qualifications Framework”, suported
by ACDP 2015 (ACDP-24)
valuing any kind of achievement relevant to requirement of an award. The implementation of RPL
involves the following stakeholders:
1. Higher education institutions: academics are usually required to be the facilitators of the
reflective process and to conduct RPL assessments. RPL assessment is labour-intensive and
requires more staff and staff-time per learner than mainstream assessment procedures.
2. Professional bodies and employee representatives: Professional bodies and trade unions are
important stakeholders in terms of policy and practice as it is vital that they have confidence in
qualifications and standards. Where RPL is utilised in the context of apprenticeships, training
schemes and professional qualifications, the participation of professional bodies is necessary to
assist in the definition of skills and competences for use in assessment.
3. Employers: Much like professional bodies, the success of RPL requires that existing and
prospective employers have faith in the process and confidence in the resulting qualifications. As
noted above, employers have an incentive to participate in RPL as it supports efficient
recruitment and training processes. While the participating employers are often large-scale,
small to medium enterprises could potentially group together to engage RPL. From the learner's
perspective, the awareness of RPL among employers is important to assist learners in providing
documentary evidence of their prior learning and experiences.
4. Learners: The learner plays a central role in the RPL process as he/she finds and presents
relevant evidence of prior learning and seeks to progress in work or education. Outlined belows
are good practice mechanisms for mentor/facilitators to support the learner as he/she proceeds
through the RPL process. Furthermore, it may be noted that learners benefit from being
socialised into the process through interaction with personnel and other learners and through
constructive feedback, which allows them to plan ahead and progress confidently.
5. The policy community: Establishing a firm legislative basis for RPL engages structures and
systems that operate appropriate mechanisms for standards, transparency and consultation.
This means that agencies and governing bodies have clearly defined roles, functions and
processes within the overall education system.
In Indonesia, various organizations and agencies are involved in carrying out quality assurance in
education and training. It is undeniable that some organizations have not been up to the standard
yet in carrying out their responsibilities. Certificates and Accreditation Results are only meaningful
when the issuing organizations possess adequate credibility and reputation.
One of the most important, and yet difficult, duty of the recently established Indonesian
Qualifications National Committee is to build quality culture, and to earn the public trust as well as
confidence. The Indonesian Qualifications National Committee/Komite Nasional Kualifikasi Indonesia
(IQNC/KNKI) was established by the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher
Education 49 of 2018 on the IQNC/KNKI in October 2018.
The ex-officio Chair of IQNC is the Directorate General of Learning and Student Affairs of MoRTHE,
and its ex-officio Secretary of the IQNC is the Directorate of the Quality Assurance of MoRTHE.
Members of IQNC represent the relevant stakeholders.

The process of referencing was performed inclusively and transparently. It involved stakeholders
from various groups as reported in the Criterion II. Communications and consultations were carried
out with the stakeholders. The main agenda of the meetings was to disseminate the referencing
process. Nevertheless, inputs and feedback are also to be obtained through the meetings.
For specific technical competences development for their own civil servant, institutions will develop
targeted learning outcomes and relevant curricula based on their needs. The learning outcomes’
standards can be designed at national level or adopt the international standards.
The leading sectors for learning outcomes standardization and their respected curricula are MoEC,
MoM, and MoRTHE, for catering courses, work training, and higher education programs,
respectively.
In the referencing process, communications with technical sector ministries or government agencies
are conducted by dissemination the referencing process documents utilizing bureaucracy channels.
The dissemination material is mostly centered at qualifications levels comparison between IQF and
AQRF. However, Indonesia Education System, IQF concept, regulation, IQF implementation including
RCC an RPL, and quality assurance system are also disseminated in attempt to build awareness on
standard, outcome, quality culture, link and match, and other issues related with qualifications.
Similar to public education institution serving regular students, private education providers
undertake education in accord with the leading sectors ministries. Education providers in religious
education should act upon the MoRA. Under the new Government Regulation 46 of 2019 on
Religious Higher Education, the MoRA are also eligible to provide general education besides the
religious education. At tertiary education, the education providers acted upon the MoRTHE.
Implementation of non-formal education by private providers should comply with all the regulations
from MoEC; while training providers must act upon the regulations from MoM.
Communications with private higher education institutions concerning the referencing process are
conducted by dissemination the referencing process documents on line. Some training centers and
courses centers were invited to the meetings.
The industry represents users of graduates that can provide feedback on users’ need on graduates
qualifications, diplomas, certificates, market sign, industrial relevance, quality of graduates, and
future development of human resources as well as human capital planning. Since industries are still
less informed concerning IQF implementation nevertheless the IQF referencing process, involvement
of industries in the referencing only limited to dissemination of qualifications levels comparison
between IQF and AQRF, through meetings and social media.
The referencing process involved professional certification association and bodies. Inputs on the
workforce professionalism were explored from this group of stakeholders. Process of the referencing
and the document were informed and disseminated the group. On the other hand, the professional
certification and bodies encouraged the assurance of the professional workforce to internalize and
obey the regulation in the company. They also emphasized the importance of the supplied
workforce to build the working capacity based on the implemented standard. The main issued
204 All rights reserved by IQNC
IQF Referencing Document Version 02 – August 2019
discussed with professional bodies is civil effect of certificate issuances that need to be strengthened
by a robust quality assurance system.
Quality assurance bodies from all range of education sectors, private and public agencies are most
important stakeholders in the referencing process, since their role is to ensure that qualifications
awarding process is done at the fullest accountability. With this group of stakeholders, information
on the practice of learning outcome-based education was explored. Incorporation of the IQF into
quality assurance was also discussed and emphasized. The importance of relating quality assurance
process based on outcome was highlighted. Process of the referencing and the document were
informed and disseminated the group. This was also to build awareness on the referencing of IQF to
AQRF so that the competitiveness of Indonesian workforce can be raised.
The institution that responsible for the education standard suggested the practice of national
standard related with qualifications framework. In higher education standard, learning outcome
referred to IQF has been declared besides standards in other factors. Nevertheless, in basic
education and vocational education the current standards are still emphasizing on the process,
infrastructure, and graduate competences. Currently, the Agency for National Standards for
Education/Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (ANSE/BSNP) is in the process of revising the
standards that put more attention on output and outcome.
Communication with academic community concerning the referencing process to academic society
and public in general was carried out using social media (https://bit.ly/Kualifikasi-SDM-Indonesia-
ASEAN) for academic community and (https://bit.ly/Kualifikasi-SDM-Indonesia-di-ASEAN) for non-
academic community. The feedback revealed the good understanding of this community on the IQF.
The importance of the referencing IQF to AQRF was also realized. Feedback from the community
showed that learning outcome-based curriculum refer to IQF has been implemented. Internal quality
assurance in higher educations has been carried out based on outcome referring to the IQF level.
However, the community admitted that they still lacked knowledge on the implementation of
Recognition of Prior Learning/Rekognisi Pembelajaran Lampau (RPL) and Recognition of Current
Competences/Rekognisi Kompetensi terKini (RCC/RKK).
IQNC hold several meetings with the stakeholders to promote interactive approach of the
referencing process. The invited participants who do not attend the meetings were directed to give
the feedback through on line media List of stakeholders meeting and the invited participants are
given in Table 7.2.
A consultation meeting with regulatory authorities was conducted on June 28, 2019. The meeting
was attended by ministries under the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural
Affairs/ Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan
(CMHDC/KemenkoPMK), i.e. the MoRTHE, the MoEC, the MoM, the MoRA, and the MoI, the
Ministry of Supervision of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform/Kementerian Pembinaan
Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi (MoSSABR/KemenPANRB) that lead policies and
regulations of civil employment, and the Ministry/Agency of National Development
Planning/Kementerian/Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional (MoNDP/Bappenas) that is
responsible to formulate the national development plan. The purpose of the meeting was to assess
the incorporation of the IQF into the policy of human resources development in their area.
Dissemination of the referencing process was also one of the agenda.
The referencing process was also disseminated in a focus group discussion of insurance education
community. Eighty participants (academicians and insurance practitioners) attended the discussion
that was carried out on July 22, 2019.
Other meetings were conducted on July 29, 2019 separately with stakeholders from skills training
providers; standard and quality assurance agency (Higher Education, Basic and Secondary Education,
Early Childhood Education, Non-formal Education, Skills Training) and professional associations. On
July 30, 2019, another meeting was held with industrial partners.
Communications with stakeholders were also attempted through online media. Online feedback
mechanisms were designed for two main group of the stakeholders, namely: academic
(https://bit.ly/Kualifikasi-SDM-Indonesia-ASEAN) and non-academic community
(https://bit.ly/Kualifikasi-SDM-Indonesia-di-ASEAN). Summary of the referencing document was
delivered to the stakeholders using those sites. The media was also used to invite feedback from the
stakeholders. The sites were spread out using any kind of media (e.g. formal sites of MoRTHE, social
media) with the endorsement letter from the head of the IQNC.
The online questionnaire was to assess the understanding of the stakeholders on the educations
system, IQF and the referencing. The participants who filled up the questionnaire certainly read the
resume of the referencing process that was incorporated in the sites. Hence, distribution of the
online media acted also as the dissemination of the referencing process.
It was targeted that the information would be read by 500 people. During the period of July 21 to
August 13, 2019, statistics record of the websites showed that the link has been read by 2,354 of
academic and 275 general viewers. The feedback forms have been filled up by 685 academic
respondents and 197 general respondents.
The results of the feedback through the questionnaire are shown in Exhibit 7.1 indicates that the
Indonesian education system is well understood by most of the respondents. In addition, most of
the respondents gave the answers of “good” or “very good” on the questions regarding issues of IQF
and its implementation in higher education curricula, as illustrated in the Exhibit 7.2. Several “poor”
answers of the questions are found; however, those are less significant compared to “good” or “very
good” answers. Learning outcome-based curriculum that refers to the IQF is also implemented
widely as shown by the chart in Exhibit 7.2. Regarding RPL and RCC, most respondent comprehend
the issues, as indicated by the chart in Exhibit 7.3.
