Bandung, 11 March 2019

The Independent Accreditation Agency for Education (LAM Kependidikan) held a dialogue with the Accreditation Council of the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT). The dialogue took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Bandung on Friday (09/03). This dialogue was warmly welcomed by the BAN-PT Accreditation Council, resulting in several inputs as supporting data for the establishment of LAM Kependidikan before being submitted to the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti).

Before the dialogue with the BAN-PT Accreditation Council, LAM Kependidikan had held three dialogues with the leadership of Kemenristekdikti. The result of these dialogues was that the proposal for the establishment of LAM Kependidikan had actually been accepted. However, the drafting team was required to hold a dialogue with BAN-PT as the first entry point.

Prof. Muchlas Samani (Chairman of the LAM Kependidikan Drafting Team) stated, “Alhamdulillah, the dialogue with the BAN-PT Accreditation Council was warmly welcomed, and the inputs provided will be completed soon so that LAM Kependidikan can be established. The result of this dialogue is that BAN-PT supports the establishment of LAM Kependidikan.”

In this dialogue, Prof. Dwiwahju Sasongko (Chairman of the BAN-PT Accreditation Council) expressed gratitude to the drafting team for the establishment of LAM Kependidikan in this dialogue. “We from the Accreditation Council express our gratitude to the LAM Kependidikan team for taking the time to attend this dialogue. Overall, what has been presented is quite complete, and the data provided is very supportive. However, there are some documents that need to be perfected and completed, such as accreditation instruments from undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs,” said Dwiwahyu.

Hopefully, after the dialogue with the BAN-PT Accreditation Council, the LAM Kependidikan drafting team will soon complete the required documents so that LAM Kependidikan can be established as soon as possible. Regards, @LAM Kependidikan
