Jakarta, NU Online
The National Education Ministry will set the maximum entrance fee for state universities in 2012.
“I’ve asked [subordinates] to make the arrangement, or design, for the university entrance fee regulation,” Education Minister Muhammad Nuh said as quoted by Kompas.com on Sunday.
He was talking on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of Tzu Chi School in Pantai Pondok Indah Kapuk, North Jakarta.
Nuh said the university entrance fee was determined by the rectors, many of whom had apparently set the fee so high that most people could not afford to pay. Therefore, the government plans to establish a maximum fee standard.
Entrance fees for state universities are currently on an average of between Rp 1 million (US$ 117) and Rp 2 million per semester. For the most preferred faculties, however, such as the School of Medicine, the entrance fee could reach as much as Rp 100 million.
“We are preparing a new mechanism for the education subsidy to state universities,” Nuh said.
The number of state universities in Indonesia is now 83, of a total 2,975 universities throughout the nation.
