On Wednesday (12/20), continuing the schedule of seminar, Taiwan Education Center Indonesia (TEC) Yogyakarta regional office visited SMK SMTI Yogyakarta to hold a seminar and provide the information regarding scholarships from the Ministry of Education (MOE) Taiwan as well as Taiwan universities in 2024 for the students of SMK SMTI Yogyakarta. SMK SMTI Yogyakarta is a vocational highschool under the Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry and has three kinds of programs, namely chemical analysis, chemical industry, and mechatronics engineering.

This event was participated by the 12th grade students of chemical analysis and teachers of this highschool. Bima, the manager of TEC Yogyakarta who also was the speaker of the seminar, opened the presentation by providing a quick quiz followed by a seminar of the MoE Scholarships 2024 as well as TEC programs which are available for students. As the first topic, MoE Scholarships 2024 gained a lot of attention by the participants since the programs’ benefits offered are not merely about getting a degree but also getting a wider experience by meeting the international community and connections. Furthermore, Bima explained that by getting a scholarship to Taiwan, the students will have more opportunities in the job-seeking world later. In the Q&A session, many of the participants delivered a question related to the topic. This event hopefully could be a starting point to motivate the participants to study abroad and open their career opportunities.
