Indonesia’s educational landscape faces a widening gap between higher education and employment, exacerbated by socio-economic and geographic disparities. The mismatch between academic learning and industry requirements is particularly acute due to the country’s diverse geography and rapid technological development. The integration between academia and industry is low, resulting in an education system detached from industry dynamics. Edutech has the potential to revolutionize learning, aligning it with current industry trends. The Edutech initiative ‘Kuncie’ aims to make high-quality education accessible and sustainable, challenging conventional norms of education and career preparation. Support from policies and various sectors is needed to sustain these efforts, with potential solutions including bringing industry expertise into the academic setting and vice versa.
