Curriculum Development and Capacity Building in the field of Shipbuilding

Engineering with the Shipbuilding Institute of Polytechnic Surabaya (PPNS)

Prepared: December 2020

By: Dyah Retno Sudarto

I. BACKGROUND

National prosperity and poverty reduction depend on a country’s citizens being employed and productive.

However, education and vocational training systems in many middle-income countries are failing to deliver

the skills needed to support sustained growth, holding down productivity and labour market participation in

skilled jobs. The UK Skills for Prosperity Programme works with a select number of countries to tackle the skills

deficit among its citizens, resulting in increased local prosperity and living standards, including a reduction in

levels of poverty and gender inequality, together with creating mutually beneficial two-way trade

opportunities. The programme sets out opportunities to promote inclusive economic growth and increase

global prosperity through targeted interventions to improve technical-vocational training and higher

education systems in nine countries (Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines

and South Africa). The International Labour Organization (ILO) has been selected as the implementation

partner to deliver the cluster of three projects in South East Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia and The Philippines

For Indonesia, the last two decades have witnessed an exceptional economic growth and seen more than half

of the population rising out of poverty. The nation’s ambitions are set on continuing the growth trajectory to

becoming a high-income country by 2045.

However, despite the positive profile at national level, systemic weaknesses and inequalities persist. Even

before the Covid 19 crisis, more than one in five young people were unemployed, and most workers are

informally employed, in short term contracts and/or are paid below the minimum wage1. Despite rising

participation in vocational education in recent years, the lack of alignment with employer needs has led to a

mismatch of skills and higher levels of unemployment among vocational graduates than is experienced by

students graduating from either university or general high school.

The pandemic has exacerbated inequalities, and with a disproportionate impact on youth, women, lower

income households and marginalised groups.

In this context, the Skills for Prosperity Project in Indonesia sets out to improve skills development policies and

systems to respond effectively to the skills demands with a focus on the growing maritime sector; taking

targeted action in promoting skills for employment and decent jobs for young women and men, including

disadvantaged groups.

As an island nation, the maritime sector has a critical bearing on Indonesia’s economic performance, and has

been identified as a priority sector by government in the Global Maritime Fulcrum master plan in 2014. The

maritime sector also been selected as a focus for this project due to the UK’s expertise and reputation in this

field.

The project has been designed by the ILO with the objective of improving the equity, quality, relevance and

cost-effectiveness of the skills system in this sector through partnerships and interventions supporting the

development of centres of excellence through four polytechnic partners. Each polytechnic is based in a

different province and specialise in a different subsector of the maritime industry as follows:

Location Batam,

Kepulauan Riau

Manado,

North Sulawesi

Semarang,

Central Java

Surabaya,

East Java

Polytechnic

Polibatam Polimanado Polimarin PPNS

Industry Subsector Global Supply

Chain and Logistics

International

Tourism

Seafaring /

Engineering

Ship building and

maintenance

For each polytechnic, an international academic partner will support curriculum development and institutional

capacity building, in co-ordination with ILO staff, to improve the quality and relevance of the programme for

the benefit of both students and industry.

This partnership will support the overall Skills for Prosperity Indonesia outcomes of:

- Stimulating a sustained increase in the enrolment, graduation rate and progression to decent work outcomes for students including marginalized groups

- Increasing employer interaction with the polytechnic, including curriculum inputs and apprenticeship / industrial placement co-operation with a view to improving student progression to decent employment opportunities

- Delivery of pilot initiatives providing a robust evidence base leading to recommendations that can be taken forward through national and provincial policy formulation to create longer-term impacts for Indonesia’s Vocational system..

The Skills for Prosperity Project in Indonesia is endorsed under the Memorandum of Understanding in the field of Education between UK Government and the Indonesian Ministry for Education and Culture. The Project is implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) Country Office Jakarta for Indonesia & Timor Leste.

About the ILO

The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established in 1919 and brings together 187 member States

to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work. It is the agency

within the United Nations family with the mandate for the development of skills policies and systems, with an

inclusive approach to building competencies for the jobs of the future. The ILO currently delivers over 600

projects in more than 100 countries worldwide with the support of 120 development partners. The Skills for

Prosperity Programme in South East Asia takes a regional approach to the delivery of the three national

projects in Malaysia, Indonesia and The Philippines.

Overview of Polytechnic Partner

Politeknik Perkapalan Negeri Surabaya (PPNS) –Shipbuilding Institute of Polytsechnic Surabaya (SHIPS) is a

state polytechnic that is focused on ship manufacturing and it’s supporting technology in Indonesia. PPNS

established in 1986 through Joint Agreement Program supported by the World Bank in 1986. However, the

embryo of PPNS has actually began in 1979 under non-degree program of shipbuilding in the Institut Teknologi

Page 3: ILO Implementation Agreement: International Academic

Surabaya (ITS). In 2019, the number of active students in PPNS was 2779 students spread across 14 study

programs. The 14 study programs (in D3 and D4) are managed through three Departments, namely Ship

Building Engineering, Marine Engineering and Ship Electrical Engineering. The quality of PPNS graduates is

quite good with an average GPA of 3.41 (Scale 4) and the average waiting time to get a job is 3 months.

Website: www.ppns.ac.id (Bahasa Indonesia), http://ships.ppns.ac.id/ (English)

PPNS established in 1986 through Joint Agreement Program supported by the World Bank in 1986. However,

the embryo of PPNS has actually began in 1979 under non-degree program of shipbuilding in the Institut

Teknologi Surabaya (ITS).

The Shipbuilding Engineering study program (D3) which the project will support is under Department of Teknik

Bangunan Kapal/TBK (Shipbuilding). Number of students in this Study Program is 45 (Male: 22, Female 13.

Data 2019, accumulated). PPNS is planning to have the development of D4 program for the Shipbuilding

Engineering study program, to anticipate and comply with the Government policy in development of

vocational-based higher education, which encouraged the establishment of study programs to Diploma 4 or

Applied S1.

Others study programs in PPNS (both for D3 and D4) are: 1) Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Engineering;

2) Design and Manufacture Engineering; 3) Ship Design and Construction Engineering; 4) Welding Engineering;

5) Piping Engineering; 6) Marine Engineering; 7) Automation Engineering; 8) Marine Electrical Engineering; 9)

Business Management, 10) Waste Treatment Engineering.

The fortitude of Shipbuilding Institute of Polytechnic Surabaya (PPNS) as a vocational tertiary institution

engaged in maritime technology to become part of the Indonesian nation in the development of human

resources and maritime technology is confidently reflected in the PPNS Mission as follows:

1. Implementing vocational education and applied research programs in the field of maritime technology,

maritime support technology, and occupational safety & health techniques;

2. Participating in community activities actively and productively, to develop maritime technology, maritime

support technology, and occupational safety and health techniques;

3. Building a quality academic community that is able to compete globally;

4. Forming networks with the maritime industry sector and various related institutions to realize a

comprehensive education system;

5. Integrating personality development in the learning process and / or extra-curricular activities to increase

faith and piety in God Almighty and moral magnificence.

The paradigm change in the implementation of vocational education programs, where the implementation of

vocational programs is more emphasized on improving the quality and competence of graduates in line with

industry needs, needs to be anticipated immediately by PPNS. The application of the Teaching Factory learning

concept, which is production-based learning and the Dual System concept, namely the implementation of

industrial apprenticeship that lasts for two full semesters in Industry, are two national government policies

that must be immediately prepared and implemented by PPNS. By implementing these two concepts, it is

expected that PPNS graduates have more readiness to go into the world of industry and even compete at an

international level.

Geographical and Industry Context

PPNS located in Surabaya city, the capital of Jawa Timur (East Java) Province. East Java is Indonesia's second-most-populous province; the latest official estimate (for mid 2019) is 39,744,800. East Java is known as the
