The Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Mendikbudristek), Nadiem Makarim, canceled the increase in Single Tuition Fees (UKT) for State Universities (PTN) on Monday (27/5/2024).

This decision followed protests from several State Universities (PTN) regarding the UKT increase ahead of the new 2024-2025 academic year.

High tuition fees to enter universities are one of the reasons for the difficulty of public access to higher education. This is not only the case in Private Universities (PTS) but also in State Universities (PTN).

Data from the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Ditjen Dukcapil) shows that the number of people with tertiary education was 18.74 million as of December 2023. This number represents only 6.68% of the national population of 280 million.

The breakdown is as follows: 0.39% of the population have completed Diploma 1 (D1) and Diploma 2 (D2) education; 1.29% are Diploma 3 (D3) graduates; and 4.64% have completed a Bachelor's degree (S1). Furthermore, 0.33% of the population have completed a Master's degree (S2), and 0.02% have completed a Doctoral degree (S3).

For information, UKT is the fee charged to each student and used in the learning process. The amount of UKT is determined by the rector of the PTN for diploma and undergraduate programs from each admission pathway.
