However, his graduation was given a D-3 level. Likewise, if you can only participate for two years, you will be given a D-2. “Except for the Midwifery Study Program, which has standard rules, you still have to be D-3 or D-4,” he explained. The breakthroughs made are not limited to that. It is also planned to establish a vocational or applied science faculty and open executive classes for prospective study programs. (hms)
