Contoh Motivation Letter Chevening

Dear Chevening Selection Committee, I am writing to express my strong interest in the Chevening Scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in Public Policy at the University of Oxford. As a policy analyst at the Indonesian Ministry of Education, I have spent the past three years working on educational reform initiatives that impact over 50 million students. Through this experience, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges of implementing evidence-based policies in a developing country context. My professional goal is to become a leading education policy expert in Southeast Asia. The UK's approach to education reform, particularly its data-driven policy making and quality assurance frameworks, offers invaluable lessons for Indonesia. Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, with its emphasis on practical policy solutions and its diverse cohort of global leaders, is the ideal environment for me to develop these skills. During my studies, I plan to focus on comparative education policy, examining how the UK's Ofsted inspection framework could be adapted for Indonesia's decentralized education system. This research will directly inform the Ministry's ongoing school quality improvement program. Upon returning to Indonesia, I will lead the development of a national school quality index — a project I have already begun designing with support from the World Bank Indonesia office. I believe the Chevening network will amplify my impact by connecting me with fellow policy leaders across the Commonwealth. I am committed to being an active Chevening alumnus, mentoring future scholars and strengthening UK-Indonesia educational partnerships. Thank you for considering my application.
