View all search resultsFormer education, culture, research and technology minister Nadiem Makarim allegedly abused his authority to rig a tender for a milti-trillion-rupiah school digitalization project that would favor tech company Google, according to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO).
Attorney General’s Office (AGO) investigators alleged that former education, culture, research and technology minister Nadiem Makarim had instructed the officials that are accused of favoring Google’s Chromebooks in the nationwide procurement project.
An AGO spokesman says that investigators might have follow-up questions for Nadiem as a witness in the Chromebook graft case, opening the possibility of a second round of questioning after the first round on Monday, when the ex-minister was grilled for 12 hours.
The Gerindra Party has promised that president-elect Prabowo Subianto will vet his ministers thoroughly after former vice president Jusuf Kalla criticized Education, Culture, Research and Technology Minister Nadiem Makarim over what he claimed was the minister’s lack of expertise in education, poor track record in office and absenteeism.
Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology(Kemendikbudristek) remains committed to accelerating the transformation of education, particularly through the utilization of various digital platforms to strengthen the educational ecosystem, especially in primary and secondary education.
While the Health Ministry denies its involvement, the dismissal of Airlangga University's medical school dean in East Java allegedly over his criticism of the government's plan to invite foreign doctors to open practices in Indonesia has been met with opposition from the academic community, who call the sacking a violation against academic freedom.
