Following their last market report on Mexico, BMI/THE and Jackfruit Marketing have teamed up once again to produce their fourth market intelligence piece, this time on Indonesia. The report is packed with statistics and practical tips to help institutions better understand the country’s education and recruitment scene.
Considering the geography of Indonesia – with over 17,000 islands – it is important to create a targeted recruitment strategy at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. As such, the report shares data on the country’s education capacity, and explores the latest trends and most pressing challenges in order to lay the foundational knowledge for recruiters looking to build links in this diverse island nation.
The free, 60-page report breaks down the data into the following categories:
- Demographics;
- Economic outlook;
- Education in Indonesia;
- Education abroad and international recruitment trends;
- Tips and events for recruiting students in Indonesia;
- And additional reading recommendations.
International education professionals can request the free report and register for the upcoming webinar (live and on-demand).
Report author and owner of Jackfruit Marketing Jackie Kassteen commented, “For institutions that are new to the market, our free report helps you understand how to establish your brand, where to focus your energies, and what you can expect when recruiting students from the world’s fourth most populous country. And for those looking to build upon established links and recruitment methods, you can use our findings to amplify current strategies, explore new channels or improve your messaging to boost your appeal amongst Indonesian students and parents.”
Live Webinar: Helping international educators to better understand the Indonesian market
To unpack some of the report highlights and expand upon the research, BMI/THE and Jackfruit Marketing are also hosting a live webinar with new tips on building links in the country via TNE strategies and social media.

This robust report puts that proof into the hands of international education professionals all around the world, and we’re excited to be able to share that with recruiters and to talk through all their options on our upcoming webinar. The timing is perfect as we head into a new academic year and a new recruitment cycle where data-rich resources such as these will be crucial for strategic planning ahead.”
