The first speaker, Deputy Minister of PPPA for Gender Equality of the Ministry of PPPA RI, Lenny N. Rosalin, S.E., M.Sc., M.Fin, explained about “The Current Situation of Gender Equality in Indonesia and Challenges in Optimizing the Role of Women for Indonesian Human Resources Development”. She mentioned that the Human Development Index (HDI) for women was considered moderate, while the HDI for men was already high, so that the quality of the women’s human resources was lower than that of men. “For 12 years from 2010-2022, Indonesia’s HDI increased despite the fact that the gender gap did not change. The existence of this gap is a challenge in increasing the TPAK rate for women, which is targeted to reach 55% according to the mandate of the 2020-2024 RPJMN,” said Lenny.

Lenny explained the 5 (five) points of the President of the Republic of Indonesia’s direction to uplift Indonesian women, which include Increasing Women’s Empowerment in Gender-Perspective Entrepreneurship, Increasing the Role of Mothers and Families in Education / Childcare, Decreasing Violence Against Women and Children, Decreasing Child Labor, and Preventing Child Marriage.

The second material on “National Achievement of SDGs 4 and 5 and Human Development Roadmap Towards Golden Indonesia by 2045” was presented by Dr. Sanjoyo, Mec as the Social Development Pillar Manager of the National SDGs Secretariat, Ministry of PP/Bappenas. The four pillars of Indonesia’s development 2045 can be achieved through accelerating the education of the Indonesian people equally, with the aim of improving Indonesian education to create superior human resources. “One of the educational development strategies is through the role of the community in educational development, as well as vocational education, entrepreneurship, and character education,” he said.

Furthermore, Prof. Bulan Prabawani, S.Sos., M.M., Ph.D. as the Coordinator of Social Field of SDGs Center Undip explained about “Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as a Method of Human Development Towards Golden Indonesia by 2045”. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was created as an innovation and alternative to environmentally oriented education to increase capacity and commitment in building a sustainable society. The target content of ESD is sustainable thinking and sustainable behavior. “The concept is that individual and group decision making considers savings and ecological processes so that the quality of life is improved both now and in the future,” said Bulan.
