The Role of Human Capital Investment in Improving the Quality of Human Resources (HR) in Education in the Digital Era

Abstract

In the rapidly developing digital era, the quality of human resources (HR) in the education sector is one of the determining factors for the success of national development. Improving HR quality through investment in human capital, such as education and training, is very important to face the challenges of globalization and increasingly advanced technology. This study aims to determine the role of human capital investment in improving the quality of human resources (HR) in education in the digital era. This study uses a qualitative research method. The data collection technique in this study is through literature studies. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The study results show that investment programs in human capital, implemented through training and education, not only improve the technical skills of educators but also strengthen their dedication to the profession and social responsibility. In addition, health insurance included in this investment ensures that individuals can work optimally, improving overall educational performance. The importance of investment in human capital in the education sector is reflected in its influence on the competitiveness of academic institutions. Educational organizations with quality human resources will be better able to attract students and produce graduates ready to compete in the international job market. Therefore, developing human resource capacity through training, continuing education, and opportunities to attend seminars is a strategic step that educational institutions need to take.
