This team’s achievement did not go without support from the Dean and Deputy Deans of FKIP ULM and the Study Program Coordinators. Efforts and prayers from all parties were also part of achieving this achievement.
As the supervisor of this team, I am very proud of what Ezer and his friends have achieved in this national level essay competition. This competition was attended by several well-known campuses in Indonesia. This is proof that we can compete with the best campuses in Indonesia and bring the ULM name to the national stage. The Mandalika Essay Competition is one of the competitions that provides opportunities for students to come up with creative ideas to support tourism and culture in Indonesia. There are many brilliant ideas from fellow students who were expressed in the form of essays in this competition which need to be supported by related institutions in order to increase tourism and culture in Indonesia. Apart from that, this competition is an opportunity to improve students’ 6C competencies in the education 4.0 era. “However, this is not the final result for us, but it is a trigger for our team to continue to make achievements and bring the name of the geography education study program, FKIP, and ULM to the national and international level,” he said.
Congratulations to the team, hopefully they will continue to make achievements and be an inspiration to others. (Public Relations of FKIP ULM).
