Bandung, 11 March 2019

Educational Independent Accreditation Agency (LAMDIK) conducted a dialogue with the accreditation council of National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education (BAN-PT). It was held in Crowne Plaza Hotel Bandung on Friday, 9 March 2019. With a warm reception from the council, this dialogue produced some suggestions as supporting data of LAMDIK establishment before being filed to the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education.

Before the dialogue commenced, LAMDIK held three other dialogues with the officials of the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. The result, the establishment proposal of LAMDIK, had been approved in fact, however, the formulation team was still obliged to arrange a discussion with BAN-PT as the first gateway.

Prof. Muchlas Samani (chair of LAMDIK formulation team) stated, “All praise to God, this dialogue with BAN-PT accreditation council is warmly saluted, the suggestions we acquired will soon be completed so that LAMDIK can be established sooner with BAN-PT’s full support.”

Prof. Dwiwahju Sasongko (chairperson of BAN-PT accreditation council) thanked the formulation team for the establishment of LAMDIK. “We, the council, are really thankful for those who are present in this dialogue. We have delivered everything, the data presented are also completely supportive. However, there are some other documents which must be refined and completed, such as accreditation instruments starting from the undergraduate, master, and doctoral program,” marked Dwiwahyu.

Hopefully, after this dialogue, the LAMDIK formulation team soon refine the documents needed so it can be established immediately. Regards. @LAM Kependidikan
