UMY delegates were cordially received by the faculty and students of the institution. Hundreds of students were in attendance, and their engagement with the presentation was shown through their insightful questions. In order to pursue a bachelor’s degree, UMY provided high school students in Thailand with both full and partial scholarships. UMY is additionally always open to prospective collaborations in the form of staff exchange, community service, internships, and joint research for the teacher and staff.
This visitation is expected to lead to the improvement of education standards in both Thailand and Indonesia, as well as to the strengthening of ties between Thai and UMY institutions.
