This week, Evolve College joins the ACPET delegation to Indonesia, visiting Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Bali, meeting with local training organisations, the major peak body for training organisations, APTISI, and government officials, about Indonesia’s educational needs.
It is our pleasure to be part of the ACPET Indonesian delegation.
Facts about Indonesia
Did you know these things about Indonesia?
- Indonesia’s economy is 30% larger than Australia’s economy and is rapidly expanding

The Indonesian national motto, “Bhinneka tunggal ika” (“Unity in diversity”), makes reference to the extraordinary diversity of the Indonesian population which stems from the convergence of many peoples, languages, and cultures. Indonesia has more than 300 different ethnic groups and more than twice as many distinct languages. (Britannica)

After having spent a couple of days in the business capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, today, Evolve College travels with the delegation to Yogyakarta, Indonesia’s education and cultural capital. The above image is the Ancient Buddha statue in Yogyakarta.
On Thursday, Evolve College travels to Bali, where we wrap up the week in Indonesia, having met educational institutions, Government representatives and educational stakeholders from three areas in Indonesia.
Indonesia is very committed to education. Evolve College welcomes the opportunity to make new friends in our neighbouring country and work together to support Indonesia in its next steps in education of its growing industries and workforce.
