Opinion Paragraph: Why is UIA Not Getting Enough Recognition?

         


            The Islamic University of Assyafiiyah (UIA) is a private university in Indonesia that was founded by one of the betawi scholars, Kh. Abdullah Syafii, in 1984. Its main campus is located in Jakarta, with a focus on holistic Islamic education. UIA offers a wide range of study programs from undergraduate to graduate level, with a vision to produce graduates who are competent and integrated in a variety of academic fields relevant to Islamic values. The university is also active in research development as well as contributing to community development through education and other social activities.

Assyafi'iyah Islamic University has two buildings and a very large courtyard to study, socialize, and so on.

But why is the Assyafi’iyah Islamic University less in demand?

         In my opinion, the Assyrian Islamic University is already very good in terms of facilities, the choice of faculty and products, and its international network. But sometimes people's perceptions of this university are inaccurate and can affect their reputation in the general public. Many think Islamic universities are less likely to get jobs, and so on. So that's why the Assyrian Islamic University lags behind other, more advanced universities. 

         First, we have to convince the public that Islamic universities are very good and have a lot of relationships compared to other private Muslim universities.“ Dr. Ali Nurdin stated that all this time, Islamic colleges are still lagging behind compared with public universities. Islamic universities are also relatively less in demand because they are on the economic side of general universities because the costs charged are much cheaper than those of public universities. For example, he said, for social tuition fees in Islamic universities, only Rp16 million, while in general, universities can reach Rs40-Rp100 million until  graduation." Therefore, it is necessary to continue to improve the quality of universities in Indonesia, including through modernization by implementing new things related to learning and others.

"What is also not less important is to encourage students of Islamic universities to unite with society, and the applied studies of Islam should be emphasized more," he said. 

         Second, why is the Assyrian Islamic University less famous? Because UIA may have many graduates who find it difficult to get a job, it also affects the quality of the university. In this case, the university supports more advanced activities, such as building partnerships with industry to offer internship opportunities, research collaboration, or practical training to students. It can improve their career prospects after graduation. "Prof. Dr. Clark Kerr (1911–2003) is a university approach that not only focuses on traditional education but also involves research and community service."

          Third, a less famous UIA might have a smaller or less organized alumni network compared to a famous university. This can affect students' chances to build professional connections and get a job after graduation. But UIA can be more flexible in designing curricula and adapting to local or industry needs. They can be faster at adopting new technologies or innovativeteaching methods without being bound by great traditions or bureaucracy. “Low-income students with strong A-level scores are more likely to attend less prestigious universities than students from privileged homes with similar A-level results, as indicated by a study by the Centre for Economic Performance (Doward, 2020).” 

          In conclusion, small-scale private universities have more opportunities to give more personal attention to students. This could include easier access to lecturers, opportunities to engage in research, and more intensive academic support, so students can have opportunities to develop personally and academically. They could be more free to explore their interests, take risks in innovative projects, or lead student organizations without very tight competition. UIA has a lot of faculty choices, and it has six faculties and 14 prodi. If you want to find a good university, just choose the UIA that combines science and religion.

Opinion paragraph: Islamic university As-Syafiiyah

  Do you know As-Syafiiyah Islamic University? As-Syafi'iyah Islamic University is a private university located on Jalan Jatiwaringin Raya Number 12, Jaticempaka, Pondok Gede, Bekasi, West Java. This university is a link of KH. Abdullah Syafi'ie's pioneering and concern for Islamic education and the development of the quality of the ummah. This university is also a development of the As-Syafi'iyah Islamic Education Academy (AKPI) which was established on November 14, 1965, and on March 12, 1969 the AKPI was upgraded to a University. In my opinion, As-Syafiiyah Islamic University developed because it successfully combined the conventional form of Islamic education tradition and formal education with government school standards up to the secondary level. Because of this success, K.H. Abdullah Syafi'ie felt compelled to think about and realize the development of formal education at a higher level.  Firstly Universitas Islam As-Syafi'iyah (UIA) represents a signific...

Opinion Paragraph: Is Watching Movies A Better Way To Learn English?

The Fabelmans (2022)   English is a global language. If we can speak English, we can communicate with the majority of people around the world. A lot of huge media entertainment, including movies, news, music, and literature, is created in English. By learning English, we'll be able to enjoy it in its original form and get a huge amount of information. So, it's important for us to learn English. In my opinion, everyone should try to learn English from the simplest activity, like watching movies. And I do think that watching movies is a better and more effective way to learn English. First of all, we all know that reading and doing exercise in school to learn a new language could be stressful and boring things to do. But the fact is, movies offer a more effective and entertaining approach. Like I said earlier, we could learn from the easiest and simplest activity, like watching movies. We could just relax and listen to what they are saying. We'll be learning without even real...
