HIGHER EDUCATION READINESS TO GO INTERNATIONALIZATION

Abstract

Abstract: Globalization has brought many impacts to human life around the world. in terms of advantages globalization provides various conveniences for humans, but on the other hand it also forces humans to better prepare themselves to face various changes that can actually increase competition. Globalization causes the level of competition in various fields to be tighter, Especially in the field of labor, currently competition for jobs is not only regional but has become global. In Indonesia, improving the quality of human resources is part of the development of the education sector which is also a concern of the government. The government is well aware that the quality of Indonesia's human resources derived from higher education graduates is still very lagging compared to several countries in the world. What we feel now is that there is a lag in the quality of education. We should be able to increase Indonesian human resources that are no less competitive with human resources in other countries.

The problem of low international recognition of the ability and quality of scholars in Indonesia can be answered by using the concept of internationalization of higher education.

There are 3 main pillars that must be prepared in the internationalization of higher education, namely:

1.Mobile Lecturers and Students (Exchange)

2. Partnership

3.Curriculum

Therefore, to lead the internationalization of higher education, national universities must first be qualified, able to develop student potential, and able to compete in the global (competitive) market. But in this case, the government must help encourage the development of national universities in order to provide quality and relevant higher education through various programs, ensuring that universities must be licensed by the Ministry of National Education and must consistently carry out educational activities
