All is Not Well at Surya University

Dubbed Indonesia's 'Father of Physics' after producing many young world physics champions, Yohanes Surya's very name seemed like a guarantee for quality education. He established the Teacher Training and Education Academy to help Papuan youths, as well as the Surya University, in the hope of yielding bright Indonesian scientists. But Tempo's investigation found these institutions in disarray, with debts amounting to billions of rupiah. Hundreds of parents of students say they were cheated through an unsecured student loan scheme and are now being forced to pay back loans that they never benefited from.

Riza Muhida, Robotics Expert, Surya University
Regulations on drones are needed

Drone or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has become an important information component. Taking photographs or mapping from a certain height no longer needs the services of an aircraft or a helicopter, which tends to be very expensive.

This crew-less aircraft has become a trend among technology nerds. One of them is Riza Muhida, a robotic expert from Surya University. He is currently completing the production of a military drone fueld by solar power. This drone is 2.5 meters in diameters. "Our target is to have it done by end of the year," said 46-year-old Riza.

Zainal Arifin Mochtar Director, Anti-Corruption Studies Center, Gadjah Mada University
We need solidarity-makers to fight corruption

Fighting corruption is nothing new in Indonesia. But the battle fought by people in rural areas may be something that is little known by the general public. According to Zainal Arifin Mochtar, Director of the Center for Anti-Corruption Studies at Gadjah Mada University, efforts by villagers to fight corruption have to be considered significant, because so far, awareness about fighting it is mostly present amongst the middle classes in urban centers.

Urban communities are generally better informed and they are abetted by the many anti-corruption activists in towns. But when anti-corruption figures in the country's remote areas begin to emerge, it is a most important development.

Daoed Joesoef The Minister's Controversies

He is an economist and an artist. A doctorate of the Sorbonne, France, who "went astray" to become the Minister of Education & Culture-with the courage to make policies that were controversial for their times: changing the beginning of the academic year, getting rid of the school holidays for the fasting month, banning university students from undertaking political activities on campus through the Normalization of Campus Life (the restoration and maintenance of order in universities).

Daoed Joesoef's thinking-he is now 84 years old-can be categorized as unusual or even eccentric for his times. At one time, he suggested getting rid of religious education in the schools. He also disagreed with a decree from three ministers on the establishment of houses of worship. Two weeks ago, Daoed spoke at length about his life, his ideas, and many other things with Nunuy Nurhayati and Yophiandi from Tempo. Here are some highlights of those discussions.
