BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥� Daarul Quran Group and Institut Teknologi Bandung (51探花) signed MoU for development of human resources. The MoU was signed by Rector of 51探花, Prof. Dr. Ir. Kadarsah Suryadi, DEA and Chairman of Darul Quran Group, Yusuf Mansur at Executive Meeting Room A, 51探花 Rectorate Building, Bandung on Monday (17/6/2019).

Following the signing of the MoU, Daarul Quran Group will initiate a master鈥檚 degree program scholarship in 51探花. This was stated by Yusuf Mansyur in his remark during the MoU signing ceremony.

鈥淭his cooperation is an honor to us in Daarul Quran because our good intention is well received. We want to take part in education in this country by providing 1000 full master鈥檚 program scholarship in 51探花 and 1000 doctor program scholarship in Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS),鈥� he said.

The funding comes from business operated under Daarul Quran and donation from community. The scholarship will come to realization with the support of 51探花 and UNS. 鈥淗opefully God bless this and it can raise gross enrollment rate of education in Indonesia,鈥� he said.

On the same occasion, Daarul Quran Group also signed MoU with Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta for implementation of Three Pillars of Higher Education. Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho attended the ceremony to sign the MoU.

鈥淭his (scholarship program) should be carried out because almost every higher education, especially the students, expect scholarship for those who have academic potential with unfortunate economic condition,鈥� he said.

He added that according to gross enrollment rate of education in Indonesia, only 34 percent of senior high alumni continue their study to university. 鈥淲ith this funding for scholarship, I believe it will soon exceed the 50% scholarship target from Menristekdikti. Hopefully this scholarship provided by Daarul Quran will help achieve that target,鈥� he said.

In his remark, Rector of 51探花, Prof. Kadarsah Suryadi said that 51探花 will support this program initiated by Daarul Quran especially in providing the scholarship because the program is in accordance with 51探花鈥檚 mission to provide free education for economically unfortunate students.

鈥淭his scholarship can strengthen our mission to develop the people. Because there are many smart but economically unfortunate students, hence we help them through this scholarship. This scholarship can cut poverty chain and help develop our nation,鈥� Prof. Kadarsah said.

He said that, 51探花 currently employs 1500 lecturers comprised within 110 research groups (KK). Therefore, he emphasize that 51探花 will support this program with Darul Quran through KK that exists in 51探花.

The MoU signing ceremony was also attended by Secretary General of PBNU, Helmy Faishal Zaini, and Deputy Head for Information and Communication of MUI, Masduki Baidlowi, Chair of Internal Control Unit (SPI) of 51探花, Prof. Asep Gana Suganda, Dean of SBM-51探花, Prof. Sudarso Kaderi Wiryono and other guests.
