How To Overcome Curriculum Gap From Middle School To Higher Education

JAKARTA - The curriculum and culture of learning between secondary and tertiary schools are very different. This creates a gap, which affects the readiness of students who will continue their education to college and become students.

This gap must be overcome by various parties, especially in terms of universities. Universities must play an active role in reducing gaps, so that the student learning process with different curriculum runs well.

In overcoming this gap, Sampoerna University provides an endorsement program or an improvement program. One of the main things for Sampoerna University in the program is to improve the English language skills of prospective students.

"We think the damage program is one of the ways and we are taking it to prepare them. Especially for English language skills, before they enter the first class, because here is the full English class," said Sampoerna University Faculty of Business Dean Antonius Siahaan, during a media meeting in the Gatot Subroto area, Jakarta, on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

The program lasts for five weeks and is carried out intensively every day. This period of time is considered very appropriate to prepare prospective students to enter university properly.

"This is like a program to prepare for university admission, so that they are ready immediately," he said.

In this program, it is also not only to overcome the curriculum gap from school to college. The program is also to improve and the ability of prospective students to adapt well in college life.
