The discussion activity which took place from 13.00 to 16.00 WITA in the Professor's Room was aimed at discussing the strategic steps that need to be taken to achieve accreditation with superior predicates for several study programs represented at the meeting. Prof. Dr. Pawennari Hijang, M.A. who is also an assessor for the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT), emphasized the importance of focusing on developing undergraduate study programs as the main foundation of a faculty. One of the statements made by the speaker who is familiarly called Prof. Awe is, "Institutions must focus on developing undergraduate study programs because they are the main foundation of a faculty."

 

The importance of superior accreditation is not just a certificate or award, but a nationally recognized indicator of educational quality. In this era of globalization, superior accreditation is a significant competitive advantage for educational institutions. Institutions that achieve higher accreditation have advantages in attracting prospective students and creating a quality academic environment. In addition, superior accreditation enhances the image and reputation of the institution in the eyes of the community and industry, proves commitment to superior, independent and cultured higher education standards in accordance with the Vision of Udayana University.

 

Superior accreditation benefits not only the institution, but also the students. Students at institutions with higher accreditation can be confident that they are receiving a quality education that is relevant to the demands of the job market. Higher accreditation also opens up opportunities for students to access various scholarship programs and collaborations with leading institutions or companies. Thus, efforts to achieve higher accreditation are not only a strategic step for universities, but also a long-term investment in producing competent human resources ready to compete on a global scale.

 

This discussion will be an interactive forum between resource persons and participants where ideas and experiences will be shared to improve the quality of education in the Faculty of Humanities Unud environment. With the presence of faculty from different programs, it is hoped that the exchange of views and ideas can positively contribute to the preparation of quality Conversion Supplement Instrument. The Cultural Anthropology Program Coordinator expressed his appreciation for the participation of all parties involved in this activity. It is hoped that the results of this discussion can become a strong foundation for Faculty of Humanities Unud to achieve higher accreditation, which is a prestige.
