The visit aimed to discuss the implementation of the MBKM (Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka) International Program, particularly regarding internship and community service opportunities for foreign students from Timor Leste at Undiknas.

During the meeting, plans were discussed for the execution of internships and community service programs for Timorese students in their home country. The program focuses on community development through the promotion of educational equity in various fields of expertise relevant to the students’ study programs. Additionally, the Indonesian Embassy in Timor Leste committed to facilitating Undiknas in placing its students in various institutions in Timor Leste, with the goal of fostering strong bilateral relations and contributing to international community development.

The targets of this program include multinational companies in Timor Leste, Indonesian Language Instruction for Foreign Speakers (BIPA), as well as collaborative research between lecturers, which is expected to provide recommendations to the Timor Leste government for community development.

The meeting was attended by Ida Nyoman Basmantra, Head of the International Office at Undiknas, Head of Tourism Destination Program Ni Nyoman Sri Wisudawati, and Tourism Destination Lecturer Ni Kadek Windayanti. A key outcome of the meeting is the recommendation to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation between Undiknas and the Indonesian Embassy in Timor Leste, along with 19 universities in Timor Leste.

Undiknas is committed to supporting the global community in building comprehensive and quality education. This collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in Timor Leste is expected to further strengthen bilateral relations between Indonesia and Timor Leste and contribute significantly to the development of education in both countries.

Denpasar – The School Environment Introduction Program (MPLS) at TK Sila Kumara for the 2024-2025 academic year was carried out with an innovative approach through a Parenting Class event themed "Preparing for School with the Tri Education Center." This event was attended by the parents of new students joining the small kindergarten class. (19/7/2024) The Parenting Class aimed to help parents understand the importance of the initial adjustment period when children first enter school. During the session, the Psychology team from Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas) invited parents to discuss their crucial role in supporting their children psychologically during this transition. Parents were also provided with guidelines on how to apply parenting practices that can assist their children in adapting to their new school environment. The three main objectives of the event were: Helping parents understand the importance of the adjustment period for children when they first enter school. Providing guidance on how to support children psychologically during this adjustment process. Building strong cooperation between parents and the school in creating a supportive environment for the children’s well-being. The Undiknas Psychology team facilitated discussions and brainstorming sessions with parents regarding behaviors and parenting patterns that could be implemented to help children adapt to the new school environment. This approach is expected to foster synergy between the school and parents, which will positively impact the development and readiness of the children as they progress to higher levels of education. This event aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4, which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. It also emphasizes the importance of access to quality early childhood development, so that children are ready to enter primary education with optimal preparation. Through this Parenting Class, Undiknas Psychology hopes to make a significant contribution in supporting quality early childhood education, as well as strengthening collaboration between parents and schools to enhance the well-being of children in the future.
