Through Non-Formal Education (NFE), the British aim to empower young people around the world aged 18-35 years old to contribute to trust-building, cohesion and stability in their societies, and to represent their communities on a local, regional and national stage. By connecting young people, we support them to build alliances and networks. These connections enable them to work across cultural differences to act positively on the big global challenges that affect their lives and communities.

Our work in NFE focused on facilitating programmes that provide opportunities for young people:

  • to put their skills and ambitions into practice
  • to connect with others
  • to raise their collective voice

Background

There are rules and regulation concerning persons with disabilities issed by national and regional Indonesia, including law number 8 of 2016. Overall, those rules and regulations aim to provivde protection for person with disabilities and offer equal opportunity for them to access education, employment and other rights.

Looking at the statistic data produced by Central Statistics Agency in 2020, there are 22 million people with disabilities in Indonesia. Only 7 million out of 17 million persons with disabilities of productive age are working. 

The British Council Next Generation survey showed that young people recognised the need to equip themselves with more skills and experience to be considered for positions, and feel there is often a mismatch between the skills thay received in their education and the skills required in the workplace.
