Sometimes I am also surprised by the behavior of IT culture in Indonesia. Various course institutions, from those that charge friendly rates, to those that charge rates that invite a fight (lol), they definitely offer commercial software training packages with prices of up to 40 million (such as 3D Max or AutoCAD).
Various expensive software are also included in the formal education curriculum (classroom learning), such as Microsoft Windows for its OS and Microsoft Office for its office applications. Funnily enough, the learning carried out in these schools (generally) uses pirated software.
Quite ironic. At the beginning of the ICT subject learning (before this subject was finally removed in the 2013 curriculum), there was a sub-chapter of material that encouraged students to respect other people's copyrighted works (software), by purchasing the original goods.
Various open source software (which is usually free) also has features that are no less cool and have been used for serious things. The most concrete example of this is the use of Linux as an OS used by NASA for its spacecraft.
PS:
In 2021, ICT subjects have returned to the school curriculum, but have been renamed informatics, which has a content that is more focused on coding material.
