SDGs 4: Quality Education
Yogyakarta, January 27, 2024 – To support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on Quality Education, several students from the Arabic Literature Study Program, Department of Language and Literature, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FIB UGM) have completed an internship program at various Elementary Schools (SD) and Junior High Schools (SMP) in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas.
This internship program is an opportunity for students to apply the knowledge they have learned in college directly in the world of education. The students were assigned to several schools, such as SD Unggulan Muhammadiyah Lemahdadi, SD Kasongan, SDIT Luqman Al-Hakim, MI Ma’arif Candran, SMPIT Alam Nurul Islam, and Yayasan Tahfidz Sulaimaniyah in Yogyakarta, as well as SD Interaktif Harum Mulia, SD Muhammadiyah Tonggalan, and SDIT Ulul Albaab Weleri outside Yogyakarta.
During the internship program, the students had the opportunity to teach Arabic and several other subjects, such as Islamic Religious Education, Tahfidz, and Tahsin. In addition, students also participated in various activities at the school, such as religious studies, MABIT (Malam Bina Iman dan Takwa), healthy gymnastics, and extracurricular activities. This internship program is a real example of collaboration between FIB UGM and educational institutions to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. With this program, it is hoped that UGM Arabic Literature students can become competent and inspiring teachers, and contribute to realizing quality education.
