Implementation of ICT in Education in Indonesia During 2004-2017

Implementation of ICT in Education is an urgent thing and an accurate strategy in this era. Nevertheless, nowadays Indonesia still is one of the countries that has less development of ICT in education. Indonesia is a country of a thousand islands which are separated by an ocean which is the main obstacle to ICT infrastructure development in areas outside the main island (Java Island). Gaps in human resources and lack of teacher competency have also become an essential matter when implementing ICT in Education. On the other hand, Hong Kong and Singapore, as developed countries, already have useful infrastructure technology, and the human resources are qualified, so the implementation of ICT in Education is much more advanced compared to Indonesia. This paper focuses on identifying the application of ICT in Education, especially in Indonesia between 2004 and 2017 and analyzes the problems that occur. It suggests appropriate measures that can support successful ICT implementation in Education in Indonesia based on relevant studies.
