Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Indonesian government’s strategy in integrating technology in education. COVID-19 pandemic encourages schools to implement distance learning, and technology becomes a necessity. Already launching the subject named Information and Communication Technology (ICT), integrating ICT skills in all courses, and applying a new course called Informatics, teachers still feel unprepared in a pandemic situation. The researchers use qualitative method to study documents and interview seven respondents from six schools located in Jakarta to know (1) their perception of government policy for technology integration in education, (2) the government programs if answer the need of students, (3) and the suggestion for better implementation. As a result, the government still didn’t have a good policy and master plan for integrating technology into education. The government tries to implement some policies and strategies, but they are only on paper and weak in implementation. The government only develops data of teachers and students, but the data didn’t answer the need for schools and teachers about the need for technology in teaching-learning activities. The respondents suggest some solutions, including a solid and clear technology integration policy in education, the development of teachers’ skills, and infrastructure.
