Rektor UGM: Kesenjangan IPM dan Rasio Elektrifikasi Harus Dikurangi

The Human Development Index and electrification ratio among provinces in Indonesia are significantly unequal. This affected nation’s capability to face regional and even global competition. If this is not handled soon, then it will increase poverty that makes many programs initiated for food security, energy resource availability and health matter difficult to achieve.

This was said by Rector of UGM, Prof. Ir. Dwikorita Karnawati, M.Sc., Ph.D., at the graduation ceremony, Thursday, (11/19). In front of 391 graduates, she mentioned that Human Development Index (IPM) on each province in Indonesia is highly varied.  The highest IPM was Greater Jakarta province with 78, second place is Yogyakarta with 77, East Borneo with 74, Bali with 73 while Papua 55, and East Nusa Tenggara 54. The electrification ratio or the percentage of people with electricity is, Greater Jakarta 100 %, Yogyakarta 85%, Bali 75%, South Borneo 72%. But, on the other side of Indonesia the electrification ratio is just 24 percent in Papua and 32% in West Papua. “By seeing those percentages, we can see the discrepancy between provinces in Indonesia. It is influenced by life expectancy, educational attainment, and per capita income,” she said.

According to the Rector, the discrepancy matter is government’s homework that has to be supported by all parties. Even though Indonesia has to work on this discrepancy, Indonesia has great potential that could be developed to increase nation’s competitiveness, which is demographic bonus. “Indonesia will have demographic bonus from 2015 to 2050, around 70% of Indonesian population will be on productive age,” she added.

Besides, tolerance and diversity are the power of Indonesia to support economic growth. “Through tolerance, we can show Indonesia as a peace and stable country which will invite investors to contribute to the development of Indonesia.”

This period, UGM inaugurates 391 students with average study period 3 years and 3 months. The shortest study period was achieved by Haning Nerissa Ing Nidya from Management with 2 years, 8 months and 20 days study period. The youngest graduate was Fitri Nurdianah from Metrology and Instrumentation at 20 years, 3 months and 10 days old.

As many as 38 students graduated cum laude. The average GPA was 3.15. The highest GPA was achieved by Hana Noviandina who studied English in the Vocational School with 3.86 of 4.00. (Adel)
