"The era of globalization requires us to have a broad view of the world. That's why the sister program "We created this school so that students have international experience and insight," said UNESA Labschool Director Prof. Dr. Sujarwanto, M.Pd.
The professor who is homebase at FIP explained that the student exchange program to Malaysia and Thailand aims to study the education system and culture in the two destination countries. "Labschool students not only learn academics, but also culture, society and the way of thinking of other citizens," he added.
In addition, students will also participate in summer-camp activities. In this program, students will collaborate with students in Thailand. With this, it is hoped that students will have the vision and motivation to continue learning and have international experiences.
According to the professor who likes sports, this collaboration activity strengthens students' intercultural and interpersonal skills, trains independence, responsibility and collaboration abilities internationally, as well as improving their English language skills.
UNESA Labschool is also committed to changing the perspective of the entire academic community to become more international. "We hope that after completion, students can share their experiences and the results of their visit with their friends," he explained.
