Yogyakarta, April 9, 2026 — The Faculty of Education and Teacher Training (FITK) at UIN Sunan Kalijaga is strengthening its commitment to international accreditation through the participation of study programs under the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education (PMIPA) cluster in the Self Evaluation Report (SER) Workshop for ACQUIN accreditation. The workshop was organized by the Quality Assurance Institute (LPM) of UIN Sunan Kalijaga and held at Hotel Platinum Yogyakarta.
The activity involved four PMIPA study programs within FITK: Mathematics Education, Physics Education, Biology Education, and Chemistry Education. Participants included Heads and Secretaries of Study Programs, along with accreditation teams responsible for preparing international accreditation documents.
The workshop was officially opened by the Rector of UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Prof. Noorhaidi, S.Ag., M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., who emphasized the importance of institutional commitment in meeting international standards as part of a strategic effort to enhance global competitiveness. The event was also attended by the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Hj. Istiningsih, M.Pd., and the Vice Rector for General Administration, Planning, and Finance, Prof. Dr. H. Muhammad Sodik, S.Sos., M.Si.
A total of 158 participants from various study programs across the university actively took part in the workshop. This event marked the fourth series of mentoring programs for the preparation of international accreditation documents facilitated by LPM.
The primary focus of the workshop was intensive guidance in preparing the Self Evaluation Report (SER), a key component in the ACQUIN international accreditation process. The SER document covers 14 major standards that reflect academic quality, governance, resources, and educational outcomes of each study program.
Through this initiative, FITK UIN Sunan Kalijaga aims to ensure that PMIPA study programs are able to produce comprehensive and well-structured SER documents aligned with international standards. The completed documents will undergo a review process by LPM before being submitted to the international accreditation body, ACQUIN.
The active participation of PMIPA study programs demonstrates FITK’s commitment to enhancing educational quality, strengthening academic governance, and expanding international recognition. This effort is expected to contribute to the development of graduates who are competitive and responsive to global challenges.
