All-Indonesian Students' Union
alliance of students' unions in Indonesia
The All-Indonesian Students' Union (Indonesian: Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa Seluruh Indonesia, lit. 'All-Indonesian Students' Executive Body', BEM SI) is an alliance consisting of various member students' unions (or students' representative councils) throughout Indonesia. It was founded on 24 December 2007 at Bogor, West Java. It has recently gained notability for participating in various student-led protests in Indonesia, including 2022 and 2025 protests.
Since 2021, the alliance has been plagued with factionalism, being divided into Rakyat Bangkit and Kerakyatan.
History
The organisation was founded after successfully designing the movement at Bogor from 21 until 24 December 2007, and it initially consisted of more than 30 member students' unions. On 23 March 2008, its representatives met in Lampung and resulted in the creation of Tugu Rakyat ('People's Monument'), which consists of 7 demands, although its contents have been substantially changed since then (but the number remains). On 2 March 2012, the students' union of Gadjah Mada University withdrew from the alliance following 5th national conference at Lampung University.
During the national conference at Andalas University, Padang in April 2021, committee decided to limit the participants into 150 members, in order to uphold the health protocols. As a result, 132 of 168 member students' unions decided to walked out and declared motion of no confidence, viewed that the decision was made unilaterally by committees. The remaining 36 members named themselves Rakyat Bangkit ('Popular Uprising'), while the majority named themselves Kerakyatan ('Peopleness').
