The Undergraduate Program in English Language Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta, was awarded an “A” accreditation rating by the National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education, as stipulated in Decree No. 5233/SK/BAN-PT/Akred/S/IX/2020 on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.

This “A” accreditation rating was achieved following a series of accreditation stages, culminating in a virtual site assessment conducted from August 31 to September 1, 2020. The assessment was carried out by two assessors: Prof. Mohammad Adnan Latief, M.A., Ph.D., from Universitas Negeri Malang, and Prof. Burhanuddin Arafah, M.Hum., Ph.D., from Universitas Hasanuddin.

The attainment of this “A” accreditation rating reflects the continuous efforts of the English Language Education Program in implementing a quality assurance system for higher education. Synergistic improvements in both academic and non-academic services by the entire academic community have resulted in a positive outcome, elevating the accreditation rating from B to A. Furthermore, substantial support from the institution, alumni, stakeholders, and the super team for Quality Assurance System Development from the Institute for Development and Quality Assurance of Education at UNS played a significant role in realizing this achievement.
