Nowadays many the Army Officers from the lowest rank up to the highest one
hold S1 (Sarjana) degree. With their degrees from UT, some of them manage to
continue their studies at the master or doctora l degree levels. So, it is not
surprising if there are Army Generals who hold more than one degrees, including
degrees from UT.
Cooperation with Foreign Agencies
Distance education originally comes from outside Indonesia. Therefore ,
cooperation with foreign parties is inevitable . In the beginning, cooperation with
foreign parties has been more focused on academic development. The Canadian
government, through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in
collaboration with the Open Learning Agency (OLA), helped develop academic
and operational activities. OLA support has been focused on giving scholarships
to UT staff who wanted to continue their studies in the master and doctoral
programs , setting up a system for the distribution of learning materials, and
management consultancies.
