Track: Human Factors and Ergonomics Competition

Abstract

Quality education can form quality human resources. It certainly has a significant correlation with the development process, the success of which depends on the quality of its human resources. This research, using a qualitative descriptive approach, focused on determining the role of the Islamic Education Foundation (YAPIS) in generating Educated Human Resources in Tanah Papua. The results showed that YAPIS, as an Islamic Education Foundation engaged in education, is a strategic partner of the government to advance the people of Papua through education. The Papuan people contribute exceptionally to the development of their region. Through quality education, indigenous Papuans will be able and ready to compete in this era of globalization. Many factors influence the success of education development in Indonesia, including in remote, underdeveloped, and outermost (3T) areas, such as in Tanah Papua (although not all of its areas are classified as remote and underdeveloped). These factors are in the form of challenges and opportunities. On the positive side, the more challenges they face means that there are more opportunities for humans to advance and develop in their lives.
