Besides discussing student progress, the meeting also included follow-up talks on the collaboration between FKIP Unram and Unsoed Purwakarta. One key point discussed was the plan to sign a Cooperation Agreement (PKS) between the two institutions. This PKS is expected to provide a strong foundation to enhance collaborative relations in various fields, including academics, research, and community service. One primary focus of this cooperation is achieving Key Performance Indicator (IKU) 2, which involves improving the quality of education and the relevance of graduates to the needs of the job market. With the PKS, it is hoped that the collaboration between FKIP Unram and Unsoed will result in significant positive impacts for both institutions.
The signing of the PKS is also anticipated to support the Merdeka Belajar – Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. The MBKM program aims to provide students with the freedom to learn outside their main study program, with the hope of enhancing their competencies and competitiveness. With closer cooperation between FKIP Unram and Unsoed, it is expected that students will gain various benefits, including opportunities to participate in exchange programs, internships, and collaborative projects that can enrich their learning experiences. Ultimately, this collaboration is expected to make a meaningful contribution in preparing young generations to face global challenges in the future.(fu)
