"We hope this cooperation can have an effective impact on universities, such as digitalization of diplomas and legal documents, and other important documents," Higher Education, Science, and Technology Minister Brian Yuliarto noted in a statement here on Wednesday.
Yuliarto stated that one of the main obstacles his ministry is currently facing is the digitalization of diplomas, noting that incidents of diploma forgery persist.
He further cautioned that this issue has far-reaching consequences, particularly affecting processes like employee recruitment and other activities that require reliable diploma validation. Therefore, this collaboration is expected to foster greater transparency and efficiency in service delivery.
Minister Yuliarto urged all universities to adopt a digital diploma system integrated with transcripts and the legalization process, enabling employers and other stakeholders to easily verify credentials and benefit from this initiative.
"Our goal is not merely digitizing or changing its form, but it encompasses numerous additional benefits that all parties gain through the crucial process of digital transformation," he remarked.
Meanwhile, Peruri President Director Dwina Septiani Wijaya emphasized that her side, along with the ministry, will make optimal efforts to realize a public-friendly digitalization system.
"Digitalization, such as digital ID, single data, and others, must be built as a fundamental element in public services and education. We would be very delighted to continue this cooperation, supporting the government in various policies that are more effective and efficient," she affirmed.
