"It's like freshly caught fish being sold straight away. In fact, academics should be able to study that it's not just fish that can be sold, but it could be various other processed fish products. However, how do you do it? Well, this is the role of children - young people to maximize it," he said.
Indonesia's future education mission, for example through the Ministry of Education and Culture, is to maximize the role of youth through efforts to increase access, relevance and quality of higher education to produce quality human resources.
