1 TANGGAPAN DAN REKOMENDASI PPI AUSTRALIA TERHADAP PEDOMAN PENILAIAN IJAZAH PERGURUAN TINGGI DI AUSTRALIA Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia (PPIA) 7/27/2009

2 Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi (DIKTI) telah menerbitkan Peraturan Dirjen Dikti Nomor 82 Tahun 2009 mengenai Pedoman Penilaian Ijazah Lulusan Perguruan Tinggi Negeri. Pedoman ini diterbitkan menyusul diterbitkannya Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Republik Indonesia Nomor 26 Tahun 2009 mengenai Penilaian Ijazah Lulusan Perguruan Tinggi Negeri. Berdasarkan pedoman tersebut, DIKTI menerbitkan daftar kesetaraan ijazah perguruan tinggi di luar negeri, termasuk perguruaan tinggi di Australia. Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia (PPIA) menilai daftar yang diterbitkan oleh DIKTI tidak sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan dan banyak diwarnai dengan ketidak akuratan. Berikut tanggapan dan rekomendasi PPIA terhadap terhadap pedoman penilaian ijazah perguruan tinggi di luar negeri, khususnya Australia. A. Walapun DIKTI menyebutkan bahwa penilaian penyetaraan sebuah program didasarkan kepada mutu lembaga, PPIA menduga DIKTI menggunakan jumlah semester atau jumlah tahun sebagai dasar pemikiran utama dalam melakukan penyetaraan tersebut. Dugaan PPIA ini cukup kuat dimana dalam daftar yang diterbitkan oleh DIKTI terdapat 98 persen atau sebanyak 233 program Bachelor yang disetarakan dengan program D-3 (232) dan D-4 (1). Hanya 3 program bachelor yang disetarakan dengan program S-1. Dari sekian banyak program Bachelor yang disetarakan dengan program D-3, Curtin University of Technology merupakan institusi yang menyelenggarakan program bachelor terbanyak yang disetarakan dengan program D-3. Kemudian disusul oleh Deakin University sebanyak 20 program dan Monash University, 18 program. Daftar lengkap program Bachelor yang disetarakan dengan program D-3 dapat dilihat dalam bagian lampiran. Dalam permasalahan ini PPIA merekomendasikan agar DIKTI dalam melakukan penyetaraan ijazah universitas di Australia juga mendasarkan pada sistem Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). AQF adalah sistem tunggal dalam pengklasifikasian perguruan tinggi di Australia. Dalam sistem ini disebutkan bahwa: Graduates of a Bachelor degree possess a range of academic and vocational attributes such as: a) an understanding of a systematic and coherent body of knowledge and its underlying principles and concepts; b) Communication and problem solving skills; c) the ability to undertake research, analyse information and apply knowledge and techniques learnt within an academic or professional context; d) skills for self-directed and lifelong learning; and e) interpersonal and teamwork skills appropriate to employment and/or further study.

3 Sedangkan di sisi lain dalam Keputusan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor 232 Tahun 2000 (Kepmendiknas No. 232/u/2000) pasal 3 disebutkan bahwa: Program sarjana diarahkan pada hasil lulusan yang memiliki kualifikasi sebagai berikut: a) menguasai dasar-dasar ilmiah dan ketrampilan dalam bidang keahlian tertentu sehingga mampu menemukan, memahami, menjelaskan, dan merumuskan cara penyelesaian masalah yang ada di dalam kawasan keahliannya; b) mampu menerapkan ilmu pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang dimilikinya sesuai dengan bidang keahliannya dalam kegiatan produktif dan pelayanan kepada masyarakat dengan sikap dan perilaku yang sesuai dengan tata kehidupan bersama; c) mampu bersikap dan berperilaku dalam membawakan diri berkarya di bidang keahliannya maupun dalam berkehidupan bersama di masyarakat; d) mampu mengikuti perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan/atau kesenian yang merupakan keahliannya. Dari dua pengertian di atas, terutama di dua point pertama (point a dan b) bisa disimpulkan bahwa program bachelor di perguruan tinggi di Australia mempunyai objektif yang sama dan setara dengan program sarjana S-1 di perguruan tinggi di Indonesia. Lebih jauh AQF menyebutkan bahwa jangka waktu program bachelor adalah antara 3 sampai 4 tahun. Sedangkan menurut Kepmendiknas No. 233/u/2000 disebutkan bahwa program sarjana sekurang-kurangnya dijadwalkan untuk 8 semester atau 4 tahun. Apabila DIKTI menggunakan asumsi Kepmendiknas tersebut maka semua program bachelor 3 tahun di universitas Australia tidak bisa disetarakan dengan program S-1 di Indonesia. Untuk hal ini, PPIA berpendapat bahwa pemerintah Indonesia atau DIKTI tidak bisa bwgitu saja mengabaikan sistem kualifikasi pendidikan Australia dan harus mengakuinya. Apalagi Indonesia, Australia dan beberapa negara lainnya telah jauh-jauh hari menandatangani Regional Convention on Recognition of Studies, Diplomas, and Degrees in Higher Education in Asia Pasific. Dalam konvensi tersebut negara-negara yang menandatanginya harus menerima ijazah dan sertifikat suatu negara yang mempunyai sistem pengkualifikasian ijazah yang kompeten terpercaya. Kesimpulannya, tidak ada alasan bagi pemerintah Indonesia atau DIKTI untuk tidak menyetarakan ijazah bachelor universitas Australia dengan program S-1 di Indonesia. Sebagai tambahan informasi, justru ijazah S-1 atau S-2 universitas di Indonesia malah diakui oleh universitas-universitas di Australia. Sehingga lulusan S-1 atau S-2 universitas Indonesia bisa langsung melanjutkan studi ke program Master atau Doktor di Australia. Padahal Indonesia sampai saat ini belum mempunyai suatu sistem National Qualification Framework yang kompatibel dengan sistem serupa yang dimiliki Australia atau negara-negara lainnya.

4 Dari berbagai informasi, PPIA mengetahui bahwa Pemerintah Indonesia dalam hal ini DIKTI dalam beberapa tahun belakangan ini sedang berusaha untuk mendorong terselenggaranya sebuah National Qualification Framework. Oleh karena itu terbitnya daftar kesetaraan ijazah perguruan tinggi di luar negeri, yang tidak sesuai dengan National Qualification Framework dan Regional Convention on Recognition of Studies, Diplomas, and Degrees in Higher Education in Asia Pasific merupakan sebuah ketidak konsistenan dari pemerintah Indonesia dalam menyikapi perkembangan global. Berdasarkan informasi di atas, PPIA merekomendasikan semua program bachelor di perguruan tinggi Australia yang sudah memenuhi ketentuan AQF untuk disetarakan dengan program S-1. B. PPIA menduga Dikti tidak akurat dalam membuat daftar program-program yang disetarakan dengan program S-1, S-2, dan S-3. Untuk ketidakakuratan dalam daftar tersebut, PPIA merekomendasikan dan mendorong agar DIKTI segera memperbaiki daftar tersebut dan lebih ekstra hati-hati dalam melakukan penyusunan daftar penyetaraan ijazah. Berikut daftar ketidakakuratan dalam daftar kesetaraan ijazah universitas di Australia: 1. Terdapatnya 4 Universitas non-australia yang masuk ke dalam daftar universitas di Australia. Keempat universitas tersebut adalah: a. Leopold Franzens Universitat Inssbruck, Austria b. Philips International Institute of Technological Studies, Belanda c. Rijks Universiteit - Groningen Belanda d. Technische Universitat Wien, Austria 2. Terdapatnya 3 program Master yang disetarakan dengan program S3/Doktor. Ketiga program tersebut adalah: a. Master of International Relations, UNSW b. Master of Arts, University of Sydney c. Master of Business Administration, Southern Cross University 3. Terdapatnya 6 program Doktor yang disetarakan dengan program S2/Master. Keenam program tersebut adalah: a. Doctor of Engineering, University of Technology Sydney b. Doctor of Medicine, RMIT c. Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry), Griffith University d. Doctor of Philosophy (Education), Macquarie University e. Doctor of Agricultural Science, The University of Adelaide f. Doctor of Agricultural Science, The University of Melbourne 4. Terdapat 1 program Bachelor yang disetarakan dengan program S-2. Program tersebut adalah: a. Bachelor of Rural Science, The University of New England

5 5. Terdapat 1 program Postgraduate Diploma yang disetarakan dengan program S-2. Program tersebut adalah: a. Post Graduate Diploma (Agricultural Studies), The University of Queensland 6. Terdapat 4 program Master yang disetarakan dengan program S-1. Keempat program tersebut adalah: a. Master of Agricultural Science, The University of Queensland b. Master of Applied Science (Hydrology Engineering), UNSW c. Master of Commerce, Deakin University d. Master of Engineering, Monash University 7. Terdapat 1 program Master yang disetarakan dengan program D-3. Program tersebut adalah: a. Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering), The University of Western Australia Demikian tanggapan dan rekomendasi PPIA terhadap penerbitan Pedoman Penilaian Ijazah Lulusan Perguruan Tinggi Negeri dan Daftar Kesetaraan Ijazah Perguruan Tinggi di Luar Negeri. Atas perhatiannya kami ucapkan terima kasih. Melbourne, 23 Juli 2009 Mohamad Fahmi, Ketua Umum
