Higher Education Service Institutes

Last updated December 02, 2024

The Higher Education Services Institutes (Indonesian : Lembaga Layanan Pendidikan Tinggi, LLDIKTI) is a system of institutions formed by the Indonesian government to provide guidance to both public and private universities inside the jurisdiction of Indonesia.^[1] For most of its existence, the system was placed under the Ministry of Education and Culture, before being transferred to Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education during Joko Widodo's first cabinet. It was briefly returned to the Ministry of Education and Culture, before being transferred again to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology after second reshuffle of his second cabinet.

History

In 1967, the Indonesian government at that time initiated the formation as a cooperation between the universities in Indonesia. The cooperation was later renamed Coordination of Higher Education Colleges (Indonesian: Koordinasi Pendidikan Tinggi, KOPERTI).^[2] On 17 February 1968, the KOPERTI was inaugurated by the Ministry of Education and Culture thru Ministry of Education and Culture Decree No. 1/PK/1968. When established, the KOPERTI had a consultative relationship with local representative offices of the Ministry in its responsible regions. When it formed initially, KOPERTI had 7 branches (East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan).^[2] However, with the increased formation of private universities in Indonesia, on 17 April 1975, thru Ministry of Education and Culture Decree No. 079/O/1975, the public universities were placed directly under the Ministry, no longer in KOPERTI, and KOPERTI's scope was limited to accommodate only private universities. Since it now only accommodated private universities, KOPERTI was renamed KOPERTIS (Indonesian: Koordinasi Pendidikan Tinggi Swasta, English: Coordination of Private Higher Education Colleges). The Ministry then carried out the cooperation, and fostering of the human resources of private universities through the KOPERTIS.^[3] When the number of private universities later peaked during 1980s - 1990s across Indonesia, the KOPERTIS was expanded from 7 branches to 12 branches thru Ministry of Education and Culture Decree No. 062/O/1982 and No. 0135/O/1990. Later thru Education and Culture Decree No. 1/2013, it expanded to 13 branches, and later to 14 branches thru Education and Culture Decree No. 42/2013.^[3]

During Joko Widodo's first presidency, he moved the Higher Education affairs to Ministry of Research and Technology, creating the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. As a consequence, KOPERTIS also moved to Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. Mohamad Nasir, Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education later ended the "discriminatory practices" between the private universities and public universities, promising equalities in guidance from the Ministry and better collaboration between the private universities and public universities. During his time, KOPERTIS transformed into LLDIKTI thru Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Decree No. 15/2018 on 9 April 2018. Since then, LLDIKTI become the coordinator between private universities and public universities once more.^[1]

LLDIKTI later returned to Ministry of Education and Culture after Joko Widodo took his second presidency. In his second presidency, he returned Higher Education affairs to Ministry of Education and Culture. During Nadiem Makarim period as minister, LLDIKTI expanded into 16 branches thru Ministry of Education and Culture Decree No. 34/2020 on 21 July 2020.^[4] Later, LLDIKTI moved to Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology thru Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Decree No. 28/2021 on 23 August 2021.^[5]
