Lombok, October 16, 2025 — Another proud achievement was made by the Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), University of Mataram. At The 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Science, Technology, and Education (The 2nd ICSSTE) held in Mataram on Thursday, October 16, 2025, three teams from the Mathematics Education Program successfully earned international awards in the Research Poster Competition.
The ICSSTE serves as a prestigious platform for academics, researchers, and students from various institutions to showcase their innovative studies focused on issues of sustainable education, science, and society. On this occasion, Mathematics Education lecturers and students from FKIP Unram contributed by presenting creative and globally relevant research works addressing contemporary educational challenges.
The first team, a collaboration between students and lecturers, consisted of Athia Awwalia Salim, Dr. Sri Subarinah, M.Si., Tabita Wahyu Triutami, M.Pd., and Junaidi, M.Pd.
