The Institute for Learning and Curriculum Development (LPPK) of Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) held a workshop for assessors for Past Learning Recognition (PLR). Through the workshop, assessors who represent various faculties were taught and explained in detail about the program.
This assessor's training activity for the implementation of PRL in Udinus is in accordance with Permendikbud Ristek No. 41 of 2021 and Kepdirjen no. 162/E/KPT/2022. Broadly speaking, Past Learning Recognition abbreviated as PLR, is a recognition of one's learning achievements. The recognition is obtained from formal education, non-formal education, and/or work experience education. This can be used as a basis for continuing formal education and then equalizing with certain qualifications.
The PLR workshop was opened directly by the Vice-Chancellor I for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Supriadi Rustad, MSi. In his speech, he explained that the PLR program launched by the government was able to dissolve the separation between formal and non-formal education. According to him, in carrying out the program, assessors in each university are the leaders in succeeding the program.
“Asesor harus benar-benar menyeleksi dengan baik para calon mahasiswa yang mengikuti program ini. Kami lihat peran asesor sangat penting dan harus mengedepankan integritas,” tegas WR I Udinus saat diwawancara terkait Program RPL.</p></p&gt;</p>
