The Directorate General of Higher Education (Indonesian: Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi) is a directorate general under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology. Originally established in 1966, the directorate general has undergone several disestablishments and reorganizations, with the current iteration being established on 18 December 2019. The directorate general is responsible for the management of vocational and academic higher education institutes in Indonesia.
History
Pre-establishment
Since the independence of Indonesia in 1945, higher education has been administered by the higher education bureau (Indonesian: Biro Perguruan Tinggi) inside the Ministry (later renamed to Department) of Education and Culture. The status of the bureau was upgraded as the higher education service (Indonesian: Djawatan Perguruan Tinggi), and later as the bureau for higher education coordination (Indonesian: Biro Koordinasi Perguruan Tinggi). The latter existed for the most of 1950s and was responsible in enrolling former student soldiers who fought in the Indonesian National Revolution to universities and managing foreign scholarships. The coordination bureau was chaired by Soegiono Djoened Poesponegoro, who was the dean of the medicine faculty of the Hasanuddin University.
Due to its status in the Ministry of Education and Culture, the higher education bureau had to compete with other, larger bureau for funding. The lack of funding made rectors and heads of universities felt neglected, and they proposed the higher education bureau to be upgraded to its own department. This notion was supported by the chief of the national planning council, Mohammad Yamin, who proposed the education and culture department to be split into three departments: Department of Basic Education, Department of Higher Education, and Department of Culture. However, the minister of education and culture Prijono was strongly against this notion.
The bargaining power of the rectors and heads of universities increased as the number of private and public universities in Indonesia grow in number over the half decade of 1955 to 1960. The Department of Higher Education was established on 14 April 1961 with its first minister being appointed a month prior. The new department is responsible for regulating, organizing, guiding, and supervising all higher education institutions. The bureau for higher education coordination was placed under the department as the directorate for higher education. The directorate consist of four sections: higher education development, student affairs, foreign higher education, and administration.
