The Indonesian government joint ministerial order It aims to establish national guidelines for the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence in education and ensure that AI tools are used responsibly at all levels of learning.
The decree, known as Surat Keptusan Bersama (SKB), was coordinated by the Ministry of Human Development, Culture and Coordination and signed by seven ministers. This policy applies not only to formal education, from early childhood programs to university, but also to informal learning environments, including families.
According to Coordinating Minister Pratikno, the guidelines: Responsible use of digital technology Leverage AI while considering the developmental readiness of children. This framework sets age-based rules governing when students can use digital technology, what types of AI tools are allowed, and for how long they can use it.
“Digital technology and AI must be used wisely, especially considering the readiness of children, which is closely related to their age,” Pratikno said at a presentation in Jakarta.
Under this policy, younger students would face more restrictions on both the duration and type of technology they can use. As students progress to higher levels of education, the guidelines allow for more flexibility and reflect the expectation that older learners are capable of using advanced digital tools responsibly.
The policy also restricts the use of certain AI systems in schools. For example, elementary and middle school students are not allowed to use instant-answer AI tools that directly generate answers to questions. However, AI applications designed specifically for educational purposes, such as robotics simulations and structured learning tools, will still be allowed.
