Private universities (PTS) dominate in Indonesia. Based on data from the Higher Education Database (PDDIKTI), their number reached 3,129 units or 68% of the total number of universities throughout Indonesia in 2019.
The number of state universities (PTN) was only 122 units or 2%. The number of religious universities (PTA) was recorded at 1,192 (26%). Meanwhile, the number of ministerial universities (PTK) was 178 (4%).
PTS can be an alternative for the public to pursue higher education. Asian Development Bank (ADB) research titled *Private Higher Education Across Asia* in March 2012 stated that Asian countries prioritize expanding access to higher education, one of which is through the role of the private sector.
