Tangerang – Multimedia Nusantara University (UMN), together with Bank Indonesia (BI) Institute, held a ceremonial launching event for the teaching practitioner program. The event also held a series of guest lecture forums on Monday (22/8/22) at the Lecture Theater P.K. Ojong – Jacob Oetama building, UMN.

The teaching practitioner program is a collaborative program from the BI Institute with universities, one of which is UMN, by forming team teaching, co-creation modules, and teaching materials that integrate central banking topics into the campus curriculum. In addition, from this program, UMN students will also have the opportunity to gain insight into working practices at the central bank in the classroom directly from BI practitioners.

Continuing Ninok’s remarks, Adrian added that teaching practitioners are here to bring a more intimate feel between the world of education and industry.

“We are aware that it is our students who will become future leaders. I also believe that UMN will be an example of a solid institution in the future. Finally, let’s support this collaboration to create a generation of graduates who are excellent and ready for the world of work for the sake of Greater Indonesia,” Adrian said.

During the sharing session, Mirza shared several objectives and materials that will be taught in this teaching practitioner program: the development trend of the digital financial economy, e-commerce, the global digital divide, the expansion of the BI Institute target, which aims to add 15 million QRIS users, and digital mindset.

“Your (students) role in the future will be very important, and the world will run faster. Maybe it’s time for us to rethink who we are and what abilities we can use to push the digital economy transformation in the future,” Mirza said.
