in University/College within two months, it aims to get complete and direct
information, either lecturing material or practicum material, and the whole

from the very first time until they finish the study.
Next, the program is conducted in students’ own districts or nations,
completing the lecturing process by utilizing video conference, or other
ICT facilities (within the last two months, at the end of the first semester).
Recently, tutorial activity is led by those who have graduated from The
University/College and come several districts and provinces in Indonesia.
