This certainly opens up opportunities for us to carry out KKN. Apart from that, UIN Salatiga has also started a program to repatriate children of migrant workers through education. For the initial stage, there were six children of migrant workers who graduated from junior high school who were given scholarships to continue their studies in Indonesia. "In the future, this number will continue to increase, we will also open up opportunities for the children of migrant workers to continue their studies at UIN Salatiga."
"We will try various things to make student mobility easier . This convenience must of course be accompanied by student efforts. "I hope students can actively seek out information about various student mobility programs ," he said later.
Lastly, he hopes that students who take part in the International KKN program can become UIN Salatiga ambassadors who leave a good and positive impression, "Hopefully they will always be successful and healthy, and that their affairs will run smoothly while undergoing KKN."
