Through the 1+1+1 program, students learn not only theory but also industrial practices in China, which is already advanced in environmentally friendly technology and intelligent manufacturing. Politani Samarinda welcomed the offer and will further review the curriculum, student requirements, and credit recognition mechanisms between the two institutions. In addition to students, Guangxi College also offers certification and training for teaching staff, both lecturers and education staff, to enable them to intern at Guangxi College. The discussion concluded with a commitment to immediately draft a memorandum of understanding (MoU) as the legal basis for future collaboration. This visit marked a significant milestone for Politani Samarinda in expanding its international network, particularly with leading vocational education institutions from China.
