“There is more preparation when preparing the forms, because we have to collect all the evidence and documents for the last three years or even the last five years,” he said.
For two days, the assessment team confirmed the documents and conducted a series of interviews with several related parties.
Whereas on the second day itself is learning observation, where one of the lecturers becomes a model for later observation.

He is also plans to carry out international accreditation and start preparations at the end of 2022 or early 2023.
“Hopefully we are recognized internationally, and graduates are on par with graduates abroad, so that later graduates will not only become teachers in the country but also abroad, and it is also proven that alumni have been sent to other countries, especially to Thailand,” he added.
