Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) is ready to send 33 students abroad to take part in the Field Experience Program (PPL) and Field Work Practices (PKL) in January and February 2019. To launch the program, students were given training, on Wednesday (2/1/2019) and Thursday (3/1/2019).
Students from various study programs will do PKL and PPL at a number of universities in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam for one month. During the briefing, they were given team-building programs and materials. Chair of the Undiksha Learning Development and Quality Assurance Institute (LPPPM), Prof. Dr. A.A.I.N. Marhaeni, M.A., said that students who take part in the program are strictly selected. They are not only faced with written tests but also interviews, including English language skills. “In previous years, the students who took part were usually from the Faculty of Languages and Arts (FBS), the Faculty of Engineering and Vocational Affairs (FTK), and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. But those taking part in the selection now come from all faculties. This is very positive,” he said.
This, he continued, cannot be separated from the motivation of the students who left previously. Various positive and interesting stories were shared when they returned to their homeland. “In terms of numbers, we continue to push for an increase. Likewise quality. “By mid-2019 we also hope to expand to Asian countries,” he explained.
Supporting this program, the university provides funding subsidies. Just not one hundred percent. There is still a need for independent funding from student parents. “In previous years, we provided quite a lot of subsidies for student departures. But now we encourage self-financing. Although we prepared funds for them, not much. “This is also related to student UKT funds for PPL and PKL not being sufficient for overseas funds,” he said. (hms)
