Implementation of Technology and Entrepreneurship in Indonesian Schools and Schools in Kuala Lumpur

Abstract

This study compares the implementation of digital technology and entrepreneurship development in schools in Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The aim is to identify best practices that can be adapted by schools in Indonesia to improve the quality of graduates and their competitiveness in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative approach, including literature studies, field observations, and in-depth interviews with education stakeholders. Comparative analysis was conducted to explore the differences and similarities in the models of technology implementation and entrepreneurship initiatives in both countries. The results show that schools in Kuala Lumpur have been more advanced in integrating digital technology into the learning process, as well as intensively encouraging entrepreneurship development programs for students. Meanwhile, schools in Indonesia still face various obstacles related to digital infrastructure, teacher capacity, and integration of entrepreneurship curriculum. Based on these findings, this study recommends a number of strategic steps for schools in Indonesia, such as strengthening technology infrastructure, developing an integrated entrepreneurship curriculum, and collaborating with the entrepreneurship ecosystem. These efforts are expected to encourage the birth of graduates who are not only academically superior, but also globally competitive with the necessary 21st century skills.
