The assessors, Prof. Fakry Gaffar dan Prof. Ki Supriyoko, met with the teachers expressed their impressions and shared valuable insights, information as well as suggestions for advancing the school to obtain a foreign school status in The Netherlands and gradually toward the Indonesian International School in The Netherlands, a term Prof. Gaffar borrowed from our Chargé d’affaires at interim, Mr. Umar Hadi.

In his turn, Prof. Ki Supriyoko informed the audience that for SILNs the verification programme is directly conducted by The National Accreditation Agency (BAN) teams. Having the opportunity to study for one year in The Hague in 1980s, Prof. Supriyoko also introduced education institutions he helps to manage in Yogyakarta, and he offered if SIN Wassenaar civitas academica happened to visit the city to come over to his schools and pesantrens.
