UI to raise public participation<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The University of Indonesia's new rector has promised to
\nincrease public participation at the institution in its drive to
\ndemocratize its education system.<\/p>\n
Usman Chatib Warsa said that the public had been increasingly
\ndemanding democratization. \"This new education paradigm means
\nthat we return part of the responsibility to improve our human
\nresources to the public,\" he said at the graduation ceremony of
\n2,148 postgraduate students at the university in Depok, West
\nJava, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He told Antara that the government continued to exercise the
\nright to design policies on national education. But the
\nuniversity, as an education institution, has the autonomy to
\nmanage the institution according to national policy, he said.<\/p>\n
He did not elaborate on how the democratization would
\nmaterialize.<\/p>\n
\"We, therefore, have to be responsible to the public
\nconcerning the quality of our graduates, the efficiency and the
\nrelevancy of our research and to the public's needs,\" he said. --JP<\/p>",
