The national workshop for the preparation of the management of UPBJJ, August 1984

Selecting Supervisors for UPBJJ

Before UT was established in 1984, a meeting of rectors from all over
Indonesia was held , and the Minister of Education and Culture requested that all
rectors of state un iversities help UT develop UPBJJ by provid ing the fa cilities

needed , especially office buildings and staffs. The request for UT's UPBJJ

supervisors was expressed by Prof. Setijadi (2006) , which was accepted and
formally realized in the Decree of Minister of Education and Culture No.
0389/0 /1984 on Organization and Work System . Chapter 101 , article 2, in the

decree specified that UPBJJ supervision was technically done by rectors of local
state universities/institutes. So, all rectors of state universities helped UT to

develop UPBJJ by providing supervisors. For that purpose, th e Minister of
Education and Culture issued Ministerial Decree No. 0443/P/1986 on Supervisors

for UPBJJ (Annex 3) . The decree was appl icable since the date of issuance (7
July 1986) and was retroactive to 18 October 1984 for all UPBJJs except UPPBJ-

Bogor, which was retroactive to 7 June 1985, and UPBJJ-Purwokerto, which was
retroactive to 7 June 1985.
