Singaraja- Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) has set a series of achievement targets in planning for 2020. This is an effort to improve the quality of the institution. Chancellor, Dr. I Nyoman Jampel, M.Pd emphasized this in a working meeting for the preparation of planning documents and the 2020 budget at Plataran Menjangan Resort & Spa, West Bali National Park (TNBB), 23 and 24 March 2019.
The Chancellor from South Kuta, Badung Regency, explained that in 2020 policy directions had been prepared. Namely, continuing to boost study program accreditation, with a target of 25 percent A and 75 percent B, as well as preparing superior study programs for international accreditation. “A study program with B accreditation must continue to improve itself according to the criteria as a reference for BAN-PT to become a superior study program. “Meanwhile, study programs that have been accredited A are being prepared for international accreditation (AUN-QA),” said Jampel.
Institutional governance and Good University Governance cannot be separated from attention. This is realized through the implementation of bureaucratic reform and integrity zones to make Undiksha a corruption-free area and a clean and serving bureaucratic area. No less important is improving the quality of human resources to produce quality graduates. “We continue to motivate lecturers to improve their academic qualifications from Master’s to Doctoral, increase their academic position from associate professor to professor, and plan academic activities such as sabbatical leave, industrial attachment, faculty exchange, and so on,” he explained.
Publication of lecturers’ scientific work in reputable international journals, accredited national journals, indexed international conferences, or even at national seminars continues to be encouraged. This has been planned since 2017 and the results have been positive. As an institution that is required to produce reliable human resources, anticipating the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is also included in policy in 2020. In form, providing graduates with multi-competencies, one of which is English, gives students more space and time to develop their soft skills. “We continue to make breakthroughs to improve the quality of human resources. “There is through the application of Blended Learning and Flip Classroom,” he said.
The implementation of this policy was also accompanied by the signing of a work contract with the dean. It is hoped that there will be a tit-for-tat so that Undiksha can be more competitive and able to realize its vision of becoming a superior university based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy in Asia by 2045.
