The Indonesian government has issued a joint ministerial decree regulating the use of digital technology and AI in education, encompassing all levels from early childhood to higher education. Signed by seven cabinet ministers, the decree establishes guidelines on the minimum age for technology use, permissible types of use, and recommended durations, tailored to different educational stages. For younger students, particularly in early childhood and primary education, the regulations are more stringent, focusing on controlling screen time and content. The decree also restricts the use of instant AI applications that generate direct answers for primary and secondary students, allowing only AI tools specifically developed for educational purposes. This policy underscores the importance of responsible technology use, considering children’s developmental readiness and capacity to interact with emerging technologies.
