Here are 8 Muhammadiyah `Aisyiyah Universities with Excellent Predicate

Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah Universities (PTMA) have long been recognized as educational institutions that have significant contributions in scientific and social development. In its efforts to maintain the quality of higher education, the Higher Education Research and Development Council (Diktilitbang) of the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership (PP) emphasizes the importance of a balance between increasing the number of universities and controlling the quality of education.

Reporting the results of the report from the official BAN-PT website and PTMA universities, Wednesday, (17/1/2024) eight Muhammadiyah `Aisyiyah Universities (PTMA) achieved Superior accreditation. This achievement is clear evidence of PTMA’s contribution to the development of science and civilization in Indonesia.

Some of the advantages achieved by PTMA are triggered by the presence of quality human resources (HR). Indicators include the number of professors, functional ranks, and academic education levels of teaching staff or lecturers.
