JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s president has urged a continuation of his educational reforms to turn Southeast Asia’s largest economy into one of the world’s biggest by its hundredth anniversary in 2045. President Joko Widodo said in his annual state of the nation speech a day before Indonesia celebrates its 78th year of independence that it has a great chance of joining the globe’s top five economies with a per capital income of $25,000. Its per capita income was $4,580 in 2022. Widodo said to achieve that goal will require a major reform of its education and vocational institutions. National elections are set for Feb. 14. Widodo, who has served two five-year terms, is not eligible to run again.
