UNNES Civil Engineering lecturers are involved by providing guidance, monitoring, and conducting on-site inspections of the revitalization work at various Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions. These activities encompass assessing building conditions, tracking physical construction progress, ensuring alignment between execution and planning, and coordinating with the educational institutions.
Leveraging their expertise in civil engineering, UNNES lecturers contribute to ensuring that the revitalization process results in educational facilities that are safer, more suitable, comfortable, and aligned with the learning needs of early childhood students. This initiative also serves as an implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education) by directly applying academic expertise to enhance the quality of education.
The program also supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, particularly by strengthening the governance of educational development programs to ensure they are accountable, transparent, participatory, and based on inter-institutional collaboration. The synergy between UNNES, the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), and the educational institutions is expected to facilitate targeted revitalization efforts and deliver sustainable benefits to the community.
