KBRN, Jakarta: The National Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN-PT) launches Program Progress Accreditation Instruments (IAPS 4.0) to develop accreditation instruments that are relevant to the development of the higher education sector in Indonesia and follow global developments.

The Director General of Science and Technology and Higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education Patdono Suwignjo explained that IAPS 4.0 was oriented towards outputs and outcomes which focused more on process, output and outcome aspects, while earlier instruments measured more aspects of input.

“We appreciate the increase to IAPS 4.0 in the study program accreditation instruments, and expose electronic signatures, we expect the output and outcome, now we are changing to increase in quality measurement rather than input aspects,” said Patdono Suwignjo during the IAPS 4.0 and TT soft launch e in Jakarta, on Thursday (7/26/2018).

IAPS 4.0 development is focused on face-to-face mode consisting of 8 variants, namely IAPS 4.0 for Diploma programs, Applied Bachelor programs, Bachelor programs, Professional programs, Applied Masters programs, Masters programs, Applied Doctoral programs, and Doctoral programs.

IAPS 4.0 will be effective starting January 1, 2019, where accreditation proposals submitted from January 1, 2019 must have used IAPS 4.0 instruments, while the accreditation proposals received before January 1, 2019 still use the current instruments. For this reason, BAN-PT will hold IAPS 4.0 training starting in October 2018 in collaboration with Kopertis (LLDikti), the Association of Universities, and others.
