Education
The education system in Indonesia consists of 4 stages: preschool education, primary, secondary and higher education.Preschool education
Children in Indonesia under the age of four usually attend a playgroup known as PAUD.
As for children aged four years and older, they attend kindergarten.
Preschool institutions in Indonesia, such as child care centers, playgroups and kindergartens, are usually privately run, as this is not a compulsory form of education. There are local preschools, religious preschools, and international preschools. Currently, there are about 49,000 kindergartens in Indonesia.
The average fee for preschool in Indonesia depends on the type of preschool. A standard preschool in Indonesia can cost about $35 per month, whereas international preschools can cost up to $6,000 per year.
Primary education
Primary schools in Indonesia are known as Sekolah Dasar (SD). Attendance at primary education is compulsory for children.
Students can choose between public, non-denominational public schools or private or semi-private.
In Indonesia, the age of entry to primary school is usually seven years, but some students prefer to start at six. Primary education in Indonesia includes six years of study.
The primary school curriculum in Indonesia includes pancasila (State ideology), language skills, literacy skills, religious studies, mathematics, geography, civic education, national history, world history, natural sciences, physical and health knowledge, and many others. Classroom instruction is usually conducted in Indonesian.
Secondary education
Students aged 13-15 attend secondary school for 3 years after graduating from primary school. Indonesian citizens are not required to attend secondary school according to the national Constitution, as they only need 9 years of education. Students can enroll in university after graduating from high school or college.
There are two different types of Indonesian secondary schools offering two streams of education for those who have decided to enroll at will. One of them is intended for those who are going to go to university. The second one is for those who plan to find a job right away.
Higher education
There are 4 types of higher education institutions in Indonesia, namely polytechnics, academies, institutes and universities. Some of them are controlled by the state, some are associated with religion, and some are funded from private sources.
Healthcare
Indonesia's healthcare system is on its way to universal healthcare.In 2010, approximately 56% of Indonesians, mostly government employees, low-income individuals and individuals with private insurance, had some form of health insurance. In 2014, the country launched a compulsory health insurance program called Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). It is designed to make basic medical care and services available to all citizens.
Under the JKN, all Indonesians will receive coverage for a number of types of treatment through medical services from government providers, as well as from those private organizations that have decided to join the scheme. Officially employed people pay a surcharge of 5% of their salary, while 1% is paid by the employee, and 4% is paid by their employer. Informal workers and the self-employed pay a fixed monthly premium of 25,500 to 59,500 Indonesian rupees.
There are more than 9700 Puskesmas in Indonesia. Puskesmas are government—run medical clinics located throughout Indonesia. They are under the control of the Ministry of Health of Indonesia and provide medical services to the population at the level of subdistricts. There are two types of Puskesmas, with and without beds. However, the differences are not only in housing affordability.
Puskesmas without beds works as a day clinic. They have the opportunity to treat public outpatient problems and implement various public health programs. Patients visit Puskesmas without beds for non-urgent preventive care. This includes prenatal receptions and family program services.
For the most part, public health facilities in Indonesia are modest. Large cities like Jakarta have good public hospitals, but rural clinics offer very limited resources. In addition, most government agencies are in dire need of investments for modern equipment, laboratory services and human resources.
Private institutions, on the contrary, are clean, well-organized and modern. A much higher percentage of staff speaks English compared to community centers. In addition, the waiting time is much shorter, and there is a good selection of specialists. Patients can expect to receive care in a comfortable, private environment.

Indonesia's climate is almost entirely tropical. Uniformly warm waters, which make up 81% of Indonesia's area, provide a fairly constant temperature on land. The weather in Indonesia can be divided into two seasons — wet and dry — with warm tropical temperatures averaging 28C during the day throughout the year. In most regions, the dry season lasts from May to September, and rains come from October to April. The temperature varies little from season to season, and in Indonesia the length of daylight varies relatively little from season to season.
