Jakarta, 29 December 2018.

The follow-up discussion on the establishment of the Independent Accreditation Agency for Education (LAM Kependidikan) with the leadership of the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti) took place on Thursday (27/12) at Building D, 11th Floor, Kemenristekdikti. The discussion was attended by the founding team of LAM Kependidikan and representatives from several institutional associations and study program associations that support the establishment of LAM Kependidikan. Additionally, representatives from universities under the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) were also present.

Previously, similar events had been held by the founding team of LAM Kependidikan with the leadership of Kemenristekdikti. However, the previous discussions were only attended by a few representatives from study program associations and were received by Ms. Paulina Pannen (Academic Advisor at Kemenristekdikti). Based on the suggestions and inputs provided by Ms. Paulina, the founding team of LAM Kependidikan quickly followed up.

According to Prof. Dr. Sunaryo (Chairman of the Establishment of LAM Kependidikan), “This event is a follow-up discussion from the previous event. This time, the discussion is slightly different from the previous one because the invited participants are more complete, including representatives from institutional associations and study program associations supporting LAM Kependidikan, as well as representatives from Kemenag and directorates within Kemenristekdikti.”

“Overall, all parties invited to this discussion support the establishment of LAM Kependidikan. However, there are some inputs that we need to address. Therefore, we will complete them as soon as possible,” he added.

Hopefully, with the completion of this discussion, the founding team of LAM Kependidikan can soon address the deficiencies and inputs, and LAM Kependidikan can be established to assist BAN-PT in accrediting educational study programs to achieve quality education. Regards, @LAM Kependidikan
