VOInews, Jakarta : The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) shared on Thursday the results of a study on the development of the education sector in Nusantara Capital City (IKN), East Kalimantan.

"We continue to improve and develop the education sector to increase the quality of education, which has a positive impact on society," said Alimudin, OIKN's deputy for sociocultural and community empowerment.

A number of researchers and education observers have conducted research and training to prepare an educational roadmap for eight educational units in Nusantara and its surrounding areas.

The results of the study were disseminated to school heads and supervisors, teaching staff, teachers, and educational staff.

An educational roadmap for all levels of education in Nusantara is very important to ensure schools do not find it difficult to innovate. Education in the new Indonesian capital will be based on the needs of students.

The OIKN will also increase the number of vocational schools to produce work-ready human resources.

The authority will align education with partner regions, thereby carrying out an education process that is slightly different from the current one.

"Education methods in the new capital city must be in harmony with partner or buffer regions so that there is no imbalance in human resources," Alimudin stressed.

He added that the OIKN prioritizes helping local residents compete by accelerating improvements in the quality of education in Nusantara//ANTARA-VOI
