Primary School Teacher Education

On September 13, 2016, the Elementary School Teacher Education Program (PGSD) at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UIR was officially established, as stated in the Decree of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Number 396/KPT/I/2016. The proposal to establish the PGSD program at FKIP UIR was crafted by a team of nine individuals from the undergraduate (BACHELOR) and graduate (MAGISTER) programs, specifically from the PGSD and Elementary Education departments.

The first Head of the PGSD Program at FKIP UIR, for the period 2016-2020, was the late Dra. Hj. Tity Hastuti, M.Pd., with the program secretary being Zaka Hadikusuma Ramadan, M.Pd. In the subsequent period from 2020-2024, the Head of the PGSD Program at FKIP UIR is Zaka Hadikusuma Ramadan, M.Pd., with Febrina Dafit, M.Pd., serving as the secretary. The first intake of PGSD students at FKIP UIR was in the Academic Year 2017/2018, with an initial enrollment of 123 students. Over time, the number of PGSD students at FKIP UIR has continued to increase each year, and in the academic year 2023/2024, there are a total of 1200 active PGSD students. One of the PGSD students at FKIP UIR, who graduated in the first period, was the top achiever in the faculty, namely Mitha Dwi Anggriani in the September 2021 graduation. In January 2021, PGSD UIR underwent its first accreditation visit, achieving a ‘Good’ accreditation status, and is currently in the process of reaccreditation.
