COMPARISON OF EDUCATION POLICIES BETWEEN GERMANY, NORWAY, AND ENGLAND: AN IDEA FOR INDONESIA

Abstract

There have been major changes in the transformation of education. All countries are currently competing to show their existence on the global stage. One effort to strengthen national identity is through education. Educational policies set by the government must support the abilities needed for global competition. This article aims to compare education policies from several countries. The countries studied in this article are Germany, Norway, and England. The comparison results are then mapped to provide recommendations for education policy in Indonesia. The research method used is a literature review. The main source of research is the book Partnerships in Education: Risks in Transdisciplinary Educational Research. The research results show that these three countries have implemented a partnership system in education. Germany builds a digital school network. Norway optimizes school-university partnerships. England focuses on equal distribution of education to communities of children from vulnerable families. These three policies are considered relevant to Indonesia's current needs. The recommendations that emerged were Accelerating the digitalization of schools in all regions, Developing a sister school program, Providing assisted schools for all universities, especially in education study programs, and Optimizing the "Corporate Social Responsibility" program for education.
