Prabowo Teams Up with Imperial College to Strengthen Medical Education and Build 10 Medical Universities
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto met with a delegation from Imperial College along with Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday, June 22, 2026. The meeting focused on strengthening strategic cooperation in higher education, especially improving the quality of medical education. Minister Brian said that talks have been going on to build a strategic partnership to boost the quality of education in Indonesia, particularly in medicine, and it’s not impossible that other fields could follow.
This collaboration ties into President Prabowo’s plan to establish 10 Medical and Science Universities, which will get academic support from Imperial College. The partnership covers curriculum enhancement, raising learning standards, joint research, and bringing in international academics, possibly including visiting professors. Brian reckons that getting one of the world’s best universities involved can speed up improving the quality of national higher education. The impact is also expected to be felt by other campuses all across Indonesia.
