Created in the early 20th century under the Dutch colonial authorities, university education in Indonesia has expanded rapidly since the independence in 1945. Economic crisis and democratization in the late 1990s became momentum for education reform in Indonesia. Since then the Indonesian government had pursued enhancing accessibility, relevance and autonomy of higher education through various ways. Currently, Indonesia's higher education has faced some challenges. For example, the World Bank suggested higher education in Indonesia strengthen its role to supply skills and research for economic growth, especially to meet corporations' need, like other East Asian middle income countries. In addition, in a broader sense, universities also contribute to political, social and cultural developments through their academic contribution and knowledge sharing in the society. Freedom in academic activities and democracy within universities are needed for cultivating academic culture. Knowledge accumulation and sharing system such as online digitalization will be also formed as a vital infrastructure for future development of higher education in Indonesia.
