Syiah Kuala University (Unsyiah) through the General Course UPT (MKU) together with the HAkA Foundation (Forest, Nature, and Environment of Aceh) launched the Basic Social and Cultural Sciences (ISBD) book based on General Education online via Zoom, Tuesday (10/11/2020).

This book was officially launched by the Rector of Unsyiah represented by the Vice Rector I for Academic Affairs Prof. Dr. Ir. Marwan, which was also attended by the Chairperson of the HAkA Foundation, Farwiza Farhan.

“Through this ISBD book, we hope that human cultural and moral values ​​can always be put forward in all our activities,” said Prof. Dr. Ir. Marwan in his speech at the launch of the ISBD book. The Vice Rector I hopes that there will be other collaborations between HAkA and Unsyiah. We hope that this is not the last collaboration, but must be continued with other collaborations, Marwan hoped.

The ISBD book based on General Education is the result of collaboration between Unsyiah and the HAkA Foundation which includes KEL as part of the textbook for general education-based learning programs.

“KEL is a world heritage site, a form of wealth that we should know, protect, and preserve,” said Farwiza Farhan in his speech.

The ISBD book containing General Education was supported in its writing by the HAkA Foundation after the signing of the cooperation contract between Unsyiah and the HAkA Foundation in January 2020. This book was written by a team consisting of Dr. Teuku Muttaqin Mansur, M.H, Dr. M. Adli Abdullah, Dr. Sulaiman Tripa, and Hasbi Ali, S.Pd, M.Si. This book was also reviewed and edited by a group of experts consisting of Dr. Taqwaddin, Dr. Muazzin, T. Nazaruddin, Dr. Saiful, Ibu Safrina and Dr. Saleh Sjafei.

What is new in this ISBD book is the discussion of environmental issues and the Leuser Ecosystem Area (KEL), where this area is the lungs of the world that must be consciously maintained, preserved, and managed so that nature, animals and humans live in harmony side by side without anyone destroying it.

“I would like to thank all the authors, editors and publishing team of this book. We hope that the books published by Syiah Kuala University Press are truly qualified and ready to compete with authors and book publishers elsewhere.” Explained Dr. Teuku Muttaqin Mansur, Head of UPT MKU Unsyiah.

“On behalf of Unsyiah, I would like to express my gratitude to Yayasan HAkA for their support. Hopefully this support can contribute and produce cadres who are involved in environmental protection in the next generation.” Dr. Teuku Muttaqin Mansur concluded. [Team]
