And as scholars argue, brilliant persons like Nadiem cannot be replaced by digital technology. Being aware of this, Minister Nadiem looks determined to improve the quality of Indonesians through radical changes in the education sector.

Nadiem also urged teachers to revolutionise the way they educate.

They are not able to compete for an overseas scholarship, because most grant providers require high English proficiency as well as exceptional academic achievement; affirmative scholarships also still require proof of English proficiency.
