ACICIS reports boom in study travel to Indonesia in \u2018Jokowi effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jokowi effect appears to be helping to rekindle the interest of Australians in our northern neighbour and boosting outbound study travel, says Indonesia expert David Hill.<\/p>\n

Record numbers of students have signed up to go to Indonesia next year as part of a study abroad consortium founded by Professor Hill from Murdoch University.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunding (under the government\u2019s New Colombo Plan) is a factor, but I think it\u2019s also a return of confidence and interest in Indonesia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He cited the novelty of Indonesia\u2019s new President Joko \u201cJokowi\u201d Widodo, coupled with a longish period of stability after past terror attacks and riots.<\/p>\n

\u201cJokowi is a very attractive figure (and this) has meant we\u2019ve had very positive stories about the nature of democracy in Indonesia,\u201d Professor Hill said.<\/p>\n

In February, the Murdoch-based Australian Consortium for \u201cIn-Country\u201d Indonesian Studies will send 76 students on semester-long programs to Indonesian institutions including Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta.<\/p>\n

Another 74 students from Australian universities will leave in January for six-week short courses, including a new business practicum in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

Both figures are records for ACICIS, which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year.<\/p>\n

Professor Hill said the consortium, which has 23 member \u00aduniversities, was \u201cabsolutely ecstatic\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s taken us more than a decade to get back to the sorts of figures we had before the (2002) Bali bombing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Confidence in study travel to Indonesia had already been shaken by riots and unrest in 1998 as the Suharto regime unravelled.<\/p>\n

\"Colombo<\/a>

The New Colombo Plan, comprising a scholarship and a mobility program, provides opportunities for Australian undergraduate students to undertake overseas study.<\/p><\/div>\n

Professor Hill said next year\u2019s bumper crop of ACICIS students also had a lot to do with the high-profile funding of the New Colombo Plan, which has been spearheaded by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.<\/p>\n

Unlike the previous AsiaBound study travel scheme, New Colombo is open to university consortiums, enabling ACICIS to apply for mobility grants and distribute them among its members.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the government announced grants for more than 3000 undergraduates to go to 32 destinations in the Indo-Pacific region next year. Indonesia was one of four New Colombo pilot locations this year.<\/p>\n

Assuming whichever party was in government kept up New Colombo, Professor Hill said he expected study travel to Indonesia would keep growing.<\/p>\n

He said university enrolments in Indonesian language courses this year \u2014 an equivalent full-time student load of about 300 \u2014 were almost the same as five years ago.<\/p>\n

But the share of study done in Indonesia, rather than in Australia, had roughly doubled to 20 per cent between 2010 and this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore students wishing to learn Indonesian are doing part of that, at least, in Indonesia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Professor Hill said ACICIS would like to offer students the chance to study in other cities of the archipelago, and not just in Java, but lacked the funds.<\/p>\n

Although the consortium had been praised by government, its request for recurrent funds to maintain and expand its network had so far fallen on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

ACICIS employs a Yogyakarta-based director and this month leased a proper office in Jakarta after a long period of makeshift arrangements.<\/p>\n
