Jakarta (voinews): A joint team of researchers from Indonesia's Makassar-based Muhammadiyah University and Uzbekistan's Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Language are conducting a collaborative research project on experiential learning.

The researchers comprise three from Muhammadiyah University: Eny Syatriana (head of the team), Ariana, and St Fathin.

They also include five researchers from Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Language: Abdullayeva Lola Tohirovna, Suleymanova Nargiza Mardonovna, Parsayeva Malika, Muxtarova Shaxnoza, and Tuyq'unnova Shohsanam, according to a press statement that ANTARA received here on Saturday.

The research project has been entitled “Exploring the Experiential Learning Cycle Application in Depth: A Case Study of Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar and Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Language.”

According to Syatriana, the case study is aimed at exploring the experiential learning cycle application applied deeply at the two universities to determine effective methods for developing the capabilities of students in reading comprehension and metacognitive reading strategies.

The outcomes of the research project would be used to develop curricula and more effective learning strategies, she informed, adding that the joint team has gathered the necessary data for the study.

The collaborative research project is a follow-up to the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU), memorandum of agreement (MoA), and implementation of agreement (IA), she said.

In addition to the joint-research project, the two universities will also undertake a visiting scholar program, publish articles in scientific journals, and conduct international seminars, she said. (Antaranews)

Jakarta (voinews): Vice President Ma'ruf Amin ensured that the government is committed to providing protection and employment guarantees for Indonesian migrant workers abroad as regulated in Law Number 18 of 2007 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers.

"The government will continue to maintain its commitment to the policy of protecting migrant workers and continue to improve the management of the employment sector," he stressed in his virtual remarks here on Sunday at the Group Iftar of Indonesian Migrant Workers and the Indonesian Diasporas in Singapore and 12 other countries.

He emphasized that, in line with the ratification of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, the government continues to make efforts to provide better services and protection for Indonesians abroad.

Amin noted that he is aware of the increasingly strict competition in the global job market. Therefore, only workers with high competitiveness are more easily absorbed into the job market.

He expressed the hope that Indonesian migrant workers can continue to improve their skills by obtaining internationally recognized certifications so that they could have high competitiveness.

"Hopefully, the increase in the competitiveness of our workers can encourage the growth of migrant workers in the formal sector," he remarked.

At Sunday's event, the vice president advised Indonesian migrant workers abroad to adapt to every condition and comply with regulations wherever they are, as well as to continue to maintain Indonesia's good name.

He also expressed his appreciation to the Indonesian diaspora in Singapore, which has contributed to the development of the country's resources.

On that occasion, Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore Suryo Pratomo conveyed his appreciation to Indonesian migrant workers in Singapore who have given their contribution to the progress of Indonesia.

"Indonesian migrant workers, all of you are people who have made extraordinary contributions to Indonesia's progress," Pratomo remarked. (Antaranews)

Jakarta (voinews): The Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) has grown into a more modern military organisation, according to the Indonesian Military Chief Admiral Yudo Margono.

"Along with the nation's history, TNI AU has grown to be a more modern military organisation beloved by the people," Margono stated in his remarks while presiding over the TNI AU's 77th Anniversary commemoration at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base here, Sunday.

Today's commemoration event, organised with the theme "Professional, Modern, and Resilient Air Force Respected in Region", includes a ceremony, a parade, and a military defile.

"The theme showed TNI AU's commitment to continue revving up its capability to face an increasingly complex threat spectrum," he affirmed.

Margono said that countries would face new challenges in the form of food, energy, and financial crises after successfully controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ongoing Ukraine-Russia War has also worsened the global geopolitical situation and increased tension, he added.

"TNI AU, as an inseparable part of the Indonesian National Defence Forces, must be able to adapt and be ready for all possible scenarios," the military chief stated.

Meanwhile, Margono also instructed air force personnel to exert their effort in realising a stronger air force and develop a sense of pride, resilience, and honour to be better personnel that will never give up and always be part of the solution.

"I believe TNI AU is capable to become an air power respected in the region, the power that can protect the nation and the country all the time," he remarked. (Antaranews)
