(PTS) and the quality of PTS in Regional XIV, Papua, and West Papua LLDIKTI, by using: (1 )
Simple statistical analysis tools, to identify the location of the education service industry and in
which areas they tend to group spatially; and (2) Table Analysis, to see the quality of PTS.
Found: the first model, Geographically it appears that at the provincial level there were 41
private universities or 68.33 percent of the 60 private universities concentrated in Papua
Province, and in West Papua Province which was 31.67 percent. While at the district / city level,
it describes that those included in the high concentration group are in all cities in each province
in the Region XIV LLDIKTI in high classification (City: Jayapura, and Sorong), has around 22
PTS or 36.67% of the total PTS. While the included in the middle classification with the number
of PTS as many as 35 PTS or 58.33% (Regency: Jayapura, Biak Numfor, Mimika, Merauke,
Jayawijaya, Sorong, Manokwari, and Fakfak), and those included in the low classification are as
many as PTS 3 PTS or 5.00% (Regency: Nabire, Yapen Waropen, and Bintuni); in the second
model, the quality of PTS seen according to the Institutional Accreditation status shows that
there are only 23 private universities or around 38.33% in the area of LLDIKTI Wilayah XIV,
which is accredited. Study Program Accreditation shows that out of 238 study programs, which
have been accredited by BAN-PT as many as 215 or around 90.34% of study programs that
have been accredited. However, most of the study programs are still accredited C, which is 149
study programs or around 69.30%. While the remaining is B cited as many as 66 study
programs or 30.70%.
It is suggested: (1) the government needs attention in overcoming the concentration level
of PTS which tends to be in the city center, both through improving the quality of human
resources (HR) and regional economic development; (2) government attention is needed in
preparing human resources in each region that can be a leader for efforts to improve the quality
of PTS in meeting the expectations of the Ministry of Research and Technology; (3) an
expanded institutional capacity building program is needed.
