description: Amidst the dynamic evolution in various sectors, particularly during the age of globalization and digitalization, the significance of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within public institutions has surged. Acknowledging this urgency, the Asia Conference on Governance and Accountability Studies (ACGAS), which will be held on 7 December 2024 at Universitas Ngurah Rai Bali, has embraced the theme of "Transparent, accountable, and ethical public institutions for eradicating corruption." This theme is selected to spotlight the genuine hurdles faced by public institutions in upholding their integrity, tackling corruption, and elevating the caliber of public services. Corruption presents a grave menace to sustainable progress, political stability, and social fairness. Hence, ACGAS aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of how public institutions can enhance their transparency, accountability, and ethical standards to effectively eradicate corruption. By tackling these issues, ACGAS is devoted to serving as a platform where stakeholders, academics, practitioners, and global thinkers can exchange knowledge, experiences, and inventive concepts to fortify upright and resilient public institutions. Through ACGAS, the anticipation is for concrete solutions, policy recommendations, and practical frameworks to surface, which can be embraced by public institutions spanning across Asia. Consequently, this conference isn't solely a forum for dialogue; it also represents a tangible stride toward realizing the vision of transparent, accountable, and ethical public institutions across the Asian landscape.

Rethinking Teaching: Why Students Produce Low Levels of Innovation
type: item
description: Purpose: This study investigates the low levels of innovation in education, emphasizing how traditional teaching methods limit students’ creativity and ability to engage in independent thinking. Methodology/approach: A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys and classroom observations among 200 high school students across three regions. Students were exposed to traditional versus student-centered teaching models such as inquiry-based learning. Data were analyzed using statistical software and qualitative coding techniques. Results/findings: The study reveals a significant correlation between teaching methods and student creativity. Traditional, teacher-centered methods are linked to lower engagement and innovation, while student-centered approaches enhance independent thinking and creative problem-solving. Limitations: The study is limited to a specific geographic and demographic sample, which may affect generalizability. Contribution: This study contributes to educational reform discussions by providing empirical support for student-centered learning approaches that foster creativity and innovation. Novelty: Unlike many prior works, this study combines qualitative and quantitative evidence to directly link specific teaching practices with measurable student creativity outcomes.

Limited Cooperation With Industry
type: item
description: Limited cooperation between universities and industries poses significant challenges to innovation, skill development, and economic growth. This disparity impedes the sharing of information, tools, and skills required to solve real-world issues and advance research with useful applications. Ineffective cooperations limit industry' access to cutting-edge academic research, diminish experiential learning opportunities, and impact students' preparedness for the workforce. Moreover, the absence of robust university-industry linkages stifles the development of an innovation ecosystem, creating barriers to technology transfer and entrepreneurial activities. This article explores the causes and implications of limited cooperation, including mismatched priorities, inadequate communication, and resource constraints. It also talks about ways to build better cooperations, like coordinating academic programs with business demands, encouraging collaborative research projects, and setting up forums for discussion between business executives and academics. In a world that is changing quickly, strengthening these partnerships is essential to creating a skilled labor force, promoting innovation, and boosting economic competitiveness.

The Impact of High Tuition Fees on Low-Income Families in Uzbekistan
type: item
description: The rising cost of education in Uzbekistan poses a significant barrier for low-income families striving to access higher education. This study explores the challenges these families face due to high tuition fees and evaluates the government’s existing financial support programs. A descriptive research method was employed, utilizing surveys, interviews, and secondary data analysis to gather insights into the affordability of education and the effectiveness of financial aid initiatives. While scholarships, subsidies, and low-interest loans are available, they remain insufficient to fully address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations to reduce financial barriers and promote equitable access to education for all.

Insufficient Focus on Research
type: item
description: A developing issue that restricts students' ability to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovative skills is the lack of emphasis placed in education on research-based learning and analytical thinking. Standardized testing and rote memorization are given excessive importance in many educational institutions, frequently at the price of encouraging curiosity, research skills, and independent analysis. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the growing issue of limited emphasis on research-based learning and analytical thinking within educational systems, particularly in relation to the dominance of standardized testing and rote memorization. It aims to highlight how this imbalance impairs students' development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovative skills essential for addressing real-world challenges. Methodology/approach: This study will employ a qualitative, comparative research methodology to explore how different education systems incorporate research-based learning and analytical thinking, with a particular focus on the practices of Finland, Sweden, South Korea, Singapore, and China. Results/findings: The results of studies investigating the insufficient focus on research often reveal a variety of negative outcomes across different sectors. These outcomes highlight the short-term and long-term consequences of underfunding and neglecting research and development, as well as the disparities in research priorities between countries, industries, and institutions. Limitations: The study is limited to a specific geographic and demographic sample, which may affect generalizability. Contribution: This study contributes to educational reform discussions by providing empirical support for creating new opportunities for practical experience and bridge to employment in the future that foster internship and job placements.

Waterfront City in Majene Regency: Reviewing the Role of Government and Communities in Good Environmental Governance
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to examine the efforts of the government and the general public in promoting good environmental governance (GEG) in the development of Majene's coastal city, which has become a strategic project to improve the economic performance of the local community and, as a result, the environment. The method used is qualitative research using case studies and document analysis, with the goal of systematically implementing environmental principles in the development of coastal areas. The findings indicate that the government has a primary role in enforcing the law, enforcing regulations, and carrying out development projects, despite occasional shortcomings in technical and administrative aspects. In other cases, public participation in the development and implementation of policies is not optimal. Communities are involved in local areas of surveillance, but limited planning and decision making. This is one of the most important factors in achieving effective collaboration between government actors and local communities. The limitations of the research are based on the geographical area of Majene, which does not encompass the entire context of the development of people, as well as the data that is gathered through surveys with a limited amount of information. Despite this, the study makes a significant contribution by emphasizing the importance of community participation in the early stages of development in order to reduce negative impacts on nature.
