"We continue to encourage lecturers and students to be more active in researching and publishing their scientific work," said Irwan.
In the future, Polman Babel is determined to continue to improve its quality so that it can be included in the ranks of the best polytechnics in Southeast Asia. "We not only want to excel at the national level, but also bring the name of Polman Babel to the international level. That is the target we are working towards," he stressed.
One of the Polman Babel lecturers was also proud of this achievement. Riki Afriansyah., M.T., said that this achievement further motivated them to continue to develop. "We are increasingly convinced that Polman Babel is the right place to gain knowledge and prepare ourselves to face the industrial world," he said.
Polman Babel also hopes for support from various parties, including government and industry, so that it can continue to innovate and develop. "Synergy between campuses, industry and government is the key to strengthening vocational education. We want to create graduates who are not only competent but also ready to compete globally," he concluded.
With this brilliant achievement, Polman Babel has increasingly confirmed its position as a leading vocational education institution in Indonesia. "It is hoped that this achievement can be an inspiration for other polytechnics to continue to develop and adapt to the digital era," concluded Riki.
