A pandemic causes massive changes in any behaviors regarding education and work. Numerous studies revealed a set of skills needed in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Southeast Asia regional forum revealed three changing skill needs in Southeast Asia that should be adapted. These are cognitive and metacognitive skills, social-emotional skills, and technical skills. This study aims to create a roadmap that explores the challenges and obstacles of Generation Z in Indonesia in preparing themselves to meet these three needs. The method used is qualitative with NVIVO 12 software analysis tools. Triangulation analysis data were collected from documents, observation, and open-ended questionnaire of the 126 informants from various regions in Indonesia. This study indicates that their challenges and obstacles in meeting these skill needs are economic levels, infrastructure (such as signal stability, public learning facilities, school, or institutional support), informal education, non-formal education, and mastery of foreign languages. This research also provides several policy implications and efforts to address these challenges.

摘要

A pandemic causes massive changes in any behaviors regarding education and work. Numerous studies revealed a set of skills needed in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Southeast Asia regional forum revealed three changing skill needs in Southeast Asia that should be adapted. These are cognitive and metacognitive skills, social-emotional skills, and technical skills. This study aims to create a roadmap that explores the challenges and obstacles of Generation Z in Indonesia in preparing themselves to meet these three needs. The method used is qualitative with NVIVO 12 software analysis tools. Triangulation analysis data were collected from documents, observation, and open-ended questionnaire of the 126 informants from various regions in Indonesia. This study indicates that their challenges and obstacles in meeting these skill needs are economic levels, infrastructure (such as signal stability, public learning facilities, school, or institutional support), informal education, non-formal education, and mastery of foreign languages. This research also provides several policy implications and efforts to address these challenges.
