Stunting in Indonesia

Stunting is a complex problem in Indonesia, as it affects many people in many ways. These include children growing up malformed in body and mind, with no way of reversing this.

This in turn causes a heavy toll on the gdp, with a decrease of up to 10,5%.

The problem stems from a lack of education and lack of basic knowledge in approx. 75,000 rural villages around Indonesia, which in turn leads to a lack of fulfilling basic needs, such as clean water, toilets and proper hygiene.

Responsibility lies with policy makers and NGOs to revitalize and support “posyandus” (local hospitals) to make sure that these basic needs are met.

Surmounting the education problems of indo. uni

Problems faced in tertiary education for indonesians include lack of incentive which effectively leaves the schools crippled as teachers have little reason to attend, and would rather work a second job whilst employed.

There is also a lack of qualified staff and as indonesians gain more money they opt to travel to a different country for a degree which would be more beneficial, prompting the question; why pump money into the education sector if few intend to attend school there anyway?

Trend of network vs. merit - chances are that you will be chosen for a position within education based more on the connections you have instead of merit and ability, which leads to a decreased amount of able teachers.
