As the top event in the 2019 National Statistics Day Commemoration series, BPS held a National Statistics Day Talkshow entitled "Towards Advanced Indonesia with Quality Human Resources and Data" which was held in conjunction with the Population Census Publicity Kick Off Event 2020, (9/26).
By taking the concept of East Kalimantan culture, the 10th floor of BPS Hall was transformed with Dayak-style nuance along with population data infographics of each province in each window. "BPS as reminds us again, if our capital city wants to move to East Kalimantan, we expect the quality of our human resources to be ready," said Brigita Manohara, moderator of the talkshow.
Before the talkshow, the SP2020 Publicity Kick Off was carried out marked by the blowing of chopsticks (a typical Dayak inflatable weapon) from the Head of BPS, Kec. Suhariyanto. This marks starting from the moment of the 2019 National Statistics Day, the socialization of SP2020 will be massive throughout Indonesia. "We are principled by a population census that we share, and every soul counts," according to Kecuk.
The talk show was opened by the explanation from BPS Deputy for Social Statistics, Margo Yuwono. "What is being done to achieve superior HR? Human development from an early age, so that the absorption of the world of work becomes good, as well as preparing human resources towards the active and independent elderly, "he said. In addition to Margo, the talk show also featured an economist, Faisal Basri; D Deputy for Coordination of Community, Village and Regional Empowerment, Sonny Harry Harmadi; and public figure, Tasya Kamila.
"If we talk about Indonesian human resources, our education is lacking in critical thinking, we are used to dictation. I want that someday young people can be included in the ministries / institutions to also participate in policy making, "Tasya hoped. For this reason, it is very important for young people to be literate in data. And this data literacy is also applied by Sonny in the ranks of his ministry. "To make decisions that will be taken by the minister or president, it must be based on data. That's what I try to invite friends in the ministry to be literate with data, making data as material for decision makers. Critical may, but based on data, "he said.
