Organisational Goals
Australia’s Education Partnership with Indonesia (the Education Partnership, or EP) is currently the
largest intervention funded by the Australian Government anywhere. Through the Education
Partnership, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) supports the Indonesian
Government’s long-term strategy to strengthen and consolidate its national education system, with a
particular focus on the current Indonesian five-year plan (2010 – 2014) and support for the initial stages
of the subsequent five-year plan (2015 – 2019). The Education Partnership builds on the successes of
previous Australian Government supports to the Indonesian education sector by strengthening
government systems. Under the Education Partnership, there are three managing contractors and the
largest, School Systems and Quality (SSQ) contract, is managed by Cardno Emerging Markets. SSQ
covers three components, each relating to a different aspect of the Education Partnership.

management; review and revision of program guidelines and training materials; and support for the
operation of a Complaints Handling System.

handouts and brochures for the upcoming school construction committees’ trainings. C1 is currently
