  • Second Deputy Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Stella Christie has come in for public criticism after hosting a tip-sharing session on getting into foreign universities, a move seen by many as inappropriate given that she should be focused more on improving the quality of universities at home.

The Jakarta Post article from December 14, 2024, discusses the controversy surrounding Deputy Higher Education Minister, Najamuddin, who has come under scrutiny following a study tip session he conducted. During the session, Najamuddin shared unconventional advice on studying, which included tips like "studying while eating chocolate" and "listening to classical music." Critics argue that these suggestions lack scientific backing and are not suitable for all students, potentially undermining the credibility of educational advice from government officials. The session, intended to help students prepare for exams, has instead sparked a debate on the quality and relevance of educational guidance provided by the ministry. Public and academic figures have called for more evidence-based recommendations and a review of the ministry's approach to educational support.
