Comparing labor market performance of vocational and general school graduates in Indonesia: insights from stable and crisis conditions

This study seeks to investigate the association between distinct tracks of secondary education—namely, vocational school (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan, SMK) and general school (Sekolah Menengah Atas, SMA)—and two key labor market outcomes: the duration required for graduates to attain their initial employment and their resilience in the face of pandemic, as measured by changes in average monthly income. While the former sheds light on the outcome under typical circumstances, the latter offers valuable insights into the outcome during periods of crisis. Focused on Indonesia, this research employs Heckman two-step model alongside ordinary least square (OLS) for the first outcome and ordered probit regression for the second. The research draws upon data extracted from the 2021 National Labor Force Survey (Survey Angkatan Kerja Nasional, SAKERNAS). Our results suggest that SMK provides an advantage in securing initial employment compared to SMA, with SMK graduates entering the workforce earlier than their counterparts. Moreover, in terms of resilience during the pandemic, as evidenced by changes in income, SMK graduates exhibit greater resilience, with a higher likelihood of maintaining or even increasing their income compared to SMA graduates. These findings offer valuable implications for both theoretical understanding and practical considerations.

Indonesian Character Building Strategy: Planning the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project in Kurikulum Merdeka

The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project, or P5, is a cross-discipline project based on problems in the education sector. Since the 2021/2022 academic year, there have been 4 themes for early childhood education (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini or PAUD), and 7 themes for elementary schools (Sekolah Dasar or SD), middle schools (Sekolah Menengah Pertama or SMP), and high schools (Sekolah Menengah Atas or SMA). The P5 makes up around 20-30% of the total credits in a year. However, teachers tend to work individually instead of collaborating with others. Therefore, this paper aims to provide guidelines on arranging the cross-discipline project so that the P5’s full potential can be realized. A systematic review was carried out on the relevant P5 databases from the perspective of the Kurikulum Merdeka. There is substantial evidence to suggest that forming a small group of teachers with a coordinator and facilitator is important. They will be responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating the P5. This systematic review has the potential to become an important reference to build Pancasila’s character.
