UPNVJ PR - In the framework of international cooperation between UPN Veterans Jakarta and Kazakh Ablaikhan University, it is necessary to carry out a process of equalizing levels and perceptions related to the education system in Indonesia and Kazakhstan.

"This common perception becomes the basic framework for the two universities in establishing special cooperation in the field of student and lecturer exchange cooperation," said Maira Uspanova, Vice Rector for Academic Affair Kazakh Ablaikhan University.

UPNVJ Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Dr. Anter Venus, MA, Comm who delivered the presentation at the meeting, explained at length about the higher education system in Indonesia, starting from the higher education network, semester credit system, the International Qualification Framework, the Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka (MBKM) program to the various MBKM programs. The format of student and lecturer exchange is the most important issue to be discussed.

Both UPNVJ and Ablaikhan University want to ensure that these student and lecturer exchange activities can be converted into the semester credit system that applies in their respective places.

In addition to the exchange of students and lecturers, in the question and answer session there were also questions regarding the format of the student's final project to compare the level of similarity in standards, graduation competitions for each university. On this occasion, the format for the final assignment at UPNVJ was conveyed, not only in the form of a thesis (thesis), but also a project, article published by an accredited international journal.

The meeting reached an agreement that although there are differences related to higher education regulations and policies, including European international credit transfer standards that do not follow Indonesia, this does not prevent student and lecturer exchange cooperation which will begin in the odd semester of 2022/2023.
