Hi all, I'd like to share my stories on Southeast Asia here. As a South Korean, I stayed in two countries in the region for about 5 years. They are Singapore and Indonesia. From education, economy to traveling, food and sports, variety of topics will be touched up on. Please enjoy them and hopefully let me have a handful of your thoughts. :)
<50 Indonesian universities first to sign up for QS Stars rating>
A good number of Indonesian universities show their pioneering spirit by being among the first to register for the new QS Stars rating system.
University rankings have their limitations since they often provide an oversimplified view of institutional strengths. As specialist strengths of a university are often overlooked, rankings are usually biased towards fully comprehensive institutions.
The QS Stars system is based on a rating method, which measures university performance against preset thresholds for a more thorough evaluation of each participating institution. It awards up to a maximum of five Stars.
Of the 50 Indonesian universities that have signed up, 17 have received an institutional report that details their results as measured by a comprehensive QS proprietary analysis. The rest will receive their reports by the middle of this year.
