After the opening remark from the President, Nadiem Makarim discussed several topics in the meeting that was also attended by the Chairman of CRISU and the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, Plt. Dirjen Diktiristek Prof. Nizam, and the Major of Surakarta, Gibran Rakabuming Raka. “I want to hear the opinions from the Rectors,” Nadiem Makarim stated to the rectors who joined the meeting offline and online.

The first topic discussed in the meeting as the implementation of face-to-face learning (PTM). The Minister emphasized that regions with PPKM levels 1, 2, and 3, could implement PTM with a maximum quota of a classroom for only 25 students. He also reminded that the university needs to ensure that students will not create a crowd after PTM to prevent the spread of Covid-19. “This is almost similar to SKB 4 ministers that are specific for university,” Nadiem Makarim explained.

To the Rectors, he also stated that Kemdikbudristek would provide full support for universities in regions that meet the requirement to implement PTM because he does not want the interaction between students and teachers to vanish.

“All students can join zoom and get quota and tuition fee assistance. But the essence of university interaction vanished during the implementation of distanced learning. And I hope we can return it so that it will not completely vanish; that’s what I am worried of,” he said.

Besides PTM, Nadiem Makarim also asked for Rectors’ opinion on the implementation of Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program that he launched on January 2020. “I want honest views on MBKM, what are the challenges, and how to implement it in each semester. There are people who are confused; the program is different from the MBKM. (I am) sure the Rectors fully understand because (you) often communicate with the Head of Program,” Nadiem Makarim stated.
