The government is realizing a superior strategic program, namely the Nusantara Student Dormitory (AMN) in order to continue to fully support the improvement in the quality of higher education in Indonesia and through the existence of this building, it is now able to bring many benefits to all parties.
Indeed, AMN is a strategic flagship program from the government which has been proven to bring many benefits to society, especially to young people.
The reason is that the existence of the AMN program is concrete evidence of the government’s strong commitment to fully support the quality improvement of the higher education sector in Indonesia.
The State Intelligence Agency (BIN), as one of the institutions directly responsible to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), initiated the development of AMN as a concrete form of the government’s seriousness in continuing to give full attention to the education sector in the country.
If the education sector receives full attention from the government and is able to improve its quality, it is not impossible that young people will become the successors of the next generation and human resources (HR) will also experience a high increase in competitiveness.
In the future, it is not impossible that the welfare of all parties will also increase with economic activity or other fields, which will happen if the education sector experiences improvements.
This is clearly the government’s hope and desire, therefore the realization of AMN’s superior strategic program has been realized, which previously stood majestically and was a great success in the City of Heroes, Surabaya.
Because there are so many benefits that people can experience, it is not surprising why people continue to provide support so that the government continues this program to various other regions throughout the archipelago.
As a catalyst, the institution led by Police General (Ret.) Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan received the mandate to continue to realize AMN in various regions, as is currently taking place in Manado, and will continue to Makassar, Yogyakarta, Jakarta and Malang.
In an effort to improve the education sector, President Jokowi hopes that all parties will be able to participate actively so that enthusiasm continues to burn in every step of this initiative.
Education itself, from ancient times until now, requires efforts to continue to develop to become more adaptive, especially in order to be able to keep up with the progress of the current world which is characterized by increasingly advanced technology, information and communication.
To be able to produce young human resources who are superior and have high quality and competitiveness, the role of higher education institutions is very important so that the government can realize AMN.
With the existence of AMN, it is a forum for preparing young people, so that they can not only master science academically, but also continue to hone their non-academic fields.
Young people who are the next generation of the nation will become superior human resources both physically, mentally and morally. They will also become innovative young people because they are able to produce or create a variety of quality works.
Likewise, the Chief of Presidential Staff (KSP), Moeldoko also said that so far the government continues to pay very serious attention to the development of education in Indonesia.
The government’s desire is not only to educate young people to be academically smart, but also how to ensure that these young people have Pancasila character and a good national spirit.
It is not impossible that this realization will become smoother thanks to the existence of AMN because it will support the government’s efforts to improve the quality of the nation’s young human resources and also shape their character by instilling various strong basic state values.
Efforts to support the improvement and development of the quality of higher education in Indonesia through the AMN program which provides many complete, adequate and modern facilities to support all of these things.
The education sector is one area that is very important in relation to raising people’s standard of living, so that both from a social and cultural perspective, young people in Peru need to receive support and improve their quality as well.
Head of the North Sulawesi Regional Settlement Infrastructure Center (BPPW Sulut), Ir. Nurdiana Habibie explained that the construction of AMN by the government through the initiation of BIN was a form of follow-up to President Jokowi’s direct direction with a land area of 20 thousand hectares and a building area of 1,595.
Inside there is a dormitory tower for male and female students, then there is also a meeting building, multi-purpose room, sports field, garden, access to the road and parking area.
The realization of the AMN program has been truly proven to be able to bring many benefits to various parties, especially the nation’s youth. The government is realizing the construction of this building to fully support improving the quality of higher education in Indonesia.
