Bandung, September 19, 2025 – The Arabic Language Education Study Program (PBA) of the Faculty of Language and Literature Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (FPBS UPI), established cooperation with MA Al-Inayah through the signing of an Implementation Agreement and a Cooperation Agreement on Monday (September 19). The agreements were signed by the Dean of FPBS UPI, Wawan Gunawan, M.Ed., Ph.D., and the Head of MA Al-Inayah, Drs. H. Ridwan Syihabuddin, M.M.Pd., and were witnessed by lecturers and students of PBA FPBS UPI.
This collaboration resulted in the Educational Professional Experience Strengthening Program (P3K), which provides students with opportunities to gain real experience in Arabic language teaching, administrative management, and the development of professional educational competencies. The program will run for one semester, from September 2025 to January 2026 in the 2025/2026 Academic Year, involving students in classroom learning activities, school administration, extracurricular activities, and collaborative research with teachers and students.
During its implementation, students are supervised by Dr. Yusuf Ali Tantowi, Lc., M.A., as the Field Supervisor, and Dika Darojat, M.Pd., as the Supervising Teacher from MA Al-Inayah. This mentoring is expected to ensure the program runs optimally and provides benefits for students, teachers, and pupils. The presence of students in the school is not only for teaching practice but also represents the implementation of the Tridharma of Higher Education in education, research, and community service.
The collaboration between FPBS UPI and MA Al-Inayah aligns with efforts to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education. This synergy is expected to improve the quality of Arabic language learning, strengthen educator capacity, and create an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable educational ecosystem.
