Sea Teacher Program Students flooded UAD
After COVID-19 was officially declared ended, the Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia (Sea Teacher) program students’ number surged rocketly. Sea-teacher is a yearly event that gives opportunities to Southeast Asian students to study for a semester at partner Southeast Asian universities.
Since the first quarter of the year, students from UAD’s partner universities from the Philippines, and Thailand came to UAD. Coordinated by the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) of UAD, They conducted an internship at UAD’s partner schools. At schools, they got teaching experiences, class observation, and supervision.
During their stay, accompanied by international buddies, they also will have an excursion to historical places. On 7 November, for the third time, UAD welcomed Sea Teacher program students from Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University (VRU), Thailand. They have been scheduled to teach at SD Muhammadiyah Wirobrajan 3 Yogyakarta for a month.
Muhammad Sayuti, S.Pd., M.Pd., M.Ed., Ph.D. (The Dean of FKIP) delivered his support during the opening ceremony. He stated, “This program opened vast cooperation among UAD and Southeast Asian universities and embraced friendship among the students.”
