UIN Jakart and Ez-Zitouna University to Continue the Cooperation

Rectorate, UIN News Online – The Rector of Ez-Zitouna University Tunis (EUT) Prof Hichem Grissa PhD, accompanied by the dean of Faculty of Ushuluddin and director of ma’had Ali EUT Prof Ilyess Goissem PhD meet the Rector of UIN Jakarta Prof Dr Dede Rosyada MA in his office.

The meeting is intended to continue the Cooperation between UIN Jakarta and EUT that has been underway since 2013, which is signed by the former rector of UIN Jakarta Prof Dr Komarudin Hidayat and the former rector of EUT Dr Abdul Jalil Salam in several fields, such as student, senior lecturer, researcher, academician and administrative staff exchange, collaborative research and international seminars.

In that occasion, rector of UIN Jakarta Prof Dr Dede Rosyada said that the MoU is still in effect until 2018, so it does not need to hold a new agreement. As the follow-ups, UIN Jakarta will send some students to EUT.

“We will send some students to EUT for three or four semesters; on the contrary, EUT is also expected to send their students to UIN Jakarta with the same composition,” said Dede.

He also added that UIN Jakarta would send students who already have adequate Arabic language skills. For that reason, the dean of Faculty of Dirasat Islamiyah (FDI) Dr. Hamka Hasan, Lc., MA, the dean of Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teachers Training (FITK) Prof. Dr. Ahmad Thib Raya, MA and Faculty of Adab and Humanities (FAH) Prof. Dr. Sukron Kamil, MA are also presented in the meeting.

In addition to the deans, also present at that meeting, vice rector of academic affairs Dr Fadhilah Suralaga MSi and a number of UIN Jakarta officials. (usa)
