HistoryEdit

File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Technische Hogeschool aan het IJzermanpark te Bandung Java TMnr 10002359.jpg
De Technische Hoogeschool te Bandoeng, circa 1924-1932

Bandung Institute of Technology traces its origin to the Technische Hoogeschool te Bandoeng (THB) which was founded during the Dutch colonial era. The project was founded by Karel Albert Rudolf Bosscha, a German-Dutch entrepreneur and philanthropist. His proposal was later approved by the colonial government to meet increasing demand of technical know-how in the colony.

The school building was designed in 1918 by a Dutch architect named Henri Maclaine Pont by blending Indonesian vernacular architecture with modern elements.<ref>The quest for the ultimate architecture Indonesia in the late colonial period , pac-nl.org</ref> The school first opened its doors on 3 July 1920. At that time, it only had one active department, the Faculty of Technical Science and one academic major, Department of Road and Water Resources Engineering.

During the Japanese occupation, the school was renamed as the Industrial University by the Japanese administration. This name was short-lived as a few years later, the Japanese surrender paved the way for Indonesia's declaration of independence and the campus was renamed as Technical High School by the newly-declared republic.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A year later, the Dutch colonial government would return to re-occupy Indonesia and took re-directorship of the campus. It was renamed again as the Emergency University of Dutch East Indies as the Indonesian National Revolution continued.Template:Cn It was during this time that the campus would begin operating the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science under the University of Indonesia.Template:Cn

On 2 March 1959, the two faculties of University of Indonesia in Bandung were declared separate academic entities. Bandung Institute of Technology was founded for higher learning in natural sciences, technologies, and fine arts.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2020, Reini Djuhraeni Wirahadikusumah was appointed as rector of the university until 2025, replacing Kadarsah Suryadi.<ref name="Reini Wir">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She became the first female rector since the inauguration of the institute by President Sukarno in 1959.<ref name="Reini Wir" /> Then, in 2025, Tatacipta Dirgantara succeed her.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Student loansEdit

In January 2024, ITB was reportedly encouraging its students to pay for tuition using loans.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> This was revealed after an account on Twitter uploaded a photo of a pamphlet containing information on monthly tuition installments managed by a third party.<ref name=":0" /> Head of Public Relations ITB, Naomi Haswanto, confirmed that ITB uses financial institutions to help students pay for their tuition and added that the collaboration was carried out using financial institutions that had permission from the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK).<ref name=":0" /> She also added that the collaboration for paying tuition fees via installments had been implemented with the Danacita platform since August 2023 and stated that several other universities had also provided the option of paying via installments.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology released a statement and asked the rector of ITB, Reini Wirahadikusumah, to search for a good funding scheme solution after the payment of tuition using an online loan platform went viral and as a mission to provide high quality and inclusive education.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The OJK asked for an explanation from Danacita as a platform that offers payment of tuition fees in online loan installments.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 29 January, hundreds of students marched from the ITB Ganesha campus to the rectorate building to protest against the policy of paying tuition fees using online loan installments.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> They protested by carrying a number of posters against campus policies which were considered burdensome with the offer of payment via online installments.<ref name=":1" /> A number of students then tried to negotiate to meet the ITB rector but it ended in a commotion because they were unable to get the rector to come out and meet the crowd to discuss the problem.<ref name=":1" /> Chairman of the KM ITB Cabinet, Muhammad Yogi Syahputra, asked the campus to remove the option of paying via installments which is said to reach Rp. 12,500,000 (USD 790) and demanded to provide a guarantee so that students who had payment arrears could fill out study plan forms which were limited until 30 January.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, said that ITB intentions were good in providing payments using the installment scheme because not all students have the ability to overcome the financial problems they experience.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He added that as much as possible, the payment option should not be a burden on students.<ref name=":2" />
