Background

Based on Institute for Development on Economics and Finance (INDEF), the digital discrepancy occurs in most of Indonesia's region (particularly in last mile) due to the low integration between digital sector and education. As result, people do not have a clear sense on what the internet should be used for and low digital talent available locally. Indonesian Fintech Association (AFTECH) suggested that digital talent supply should be started within education sector which integrate digital sector and educational curriculum.

Study from katadata and investinginwomen.asia show that the low representation of women in STEM largely due to stereotypes where:

• 50% women with STEM background choose not to pursue STEM career due to male domination in the field
• 45% women with STEM background believe that STEM was not for women.

  Based on those situation, Plan Indonesia will implement AI Fluency capacity building project for SMK’s teacher by:

  • Provide digital (particularly AI fluency) training program for 1,000SMKs teachers/educators in Greater Jakarta Area. Greater Jakarta is proposed due to its high digital competitiveness index (76.6) and the high number of SMK teachers and students (on average 1 teacher for 20 students based on data from Ministry of Education).
  • Campaign on the importance of women involvement in STEM (particularly digital) sector and AI adoption in educational curriculum.

    In partnership with teacher/educator associations, provincial & local education offices, and community partners, we aim to reach SMKs (both public and private) in Greater Jakarta area as well as other area within Indonesia to encourage 5.000 teachers to apply for the program.
