ACE: A Look Back
In Surabaya, 12 Educational Institutions for Teacher Training (LPTK) and 56 professional associations discussed the establishment of the Accreditation Council for Education (ACE). In mid-2018, support blew from various stakeholders, including the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) and the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) through the Directorate General of Learning, in collaboration with the Indonesian Association of Education Scholars (ISPI) and LPTKs as the initiators. A proposal for the establishment of ACE was promptly prepared swiftly and further presented to the Directorate General of Higher Education at the end of 2018.
The process and discussions continued until March 8, 2019, the initiators were invited to the BAN-PT Assembly. The assembly meeting decided to approve the establishment of ACE on the condition that they should add an internal quality assurance division and strengthen human resources. Five months later, on August 2, 2019, ACE was officially established.
Ever since, ACE has managed to grow with impressive track records. Around 2,500 study programs from approximately 800 universities across Indonesia have been accredited by ACE. In international level, ACE has partnered with institutions across Asia, fostering strategic collaborations centered on educational advancement. Quality assurance at ACE has consistently been improved, providing 940 assessors to actively maintain the standards of education and institutional management.
