In the implementation of this community service activity, a collaboration agreement was also signed between the schools/madrasah and the PGMI department of FITK UIN Malang. With this collaboration, there will be future activities involving schools/madrasahs, such as PGMI students’ PKLI (Field Work Practice) internships at madrasahs. It is hoped that the community service activities of the PGMI department will elevate it as an excellent program capable of fulfilling its objectives, producing graduates who are competent professional teachers.”
