The presentation session concluded with a question-and-answer session involving the participants.
Nastain, S.Pd., M.Pd.I, the Headmaster of MAN 2 Ponorogo, mentioned that the reason for choosing FISIP UNAIR as the visited faculty was to provide their students with an overview of the study programs in the field of Social Sciences. “We want to introduce our students to one of the renowned campuses in Indonesia, and we brought students from the Social Sciences and Religious Studies streams who theoretically could enter this faculty,” he said. At the end of the interview, Nastain expressed hope for continued cooperation and partnership between MAN 2 Ponorogo and FISIP UNAIR. “If possible, we would like to establish a partnership. We want our small district to receive direct guidance from a prestigious university, and our other hope is that more and more of our students will be accepted into FISIP,” he concluded.
