In his speech, Prof. Dr. Badrudin, M.Ag., CIIQA, CEAM, the Chairman of PERMA PENDIS Indonesia, explained that PERMA PENDIS is a professional association that supports managers of Islamic education in Indonesia. He emphasized the importance of collaboration with various higher education institutions, including PERMA PENDIS, to strengthen the accreditation quality of programs and institutions. "Through this collaboration, one of the expected outcomes is achieving outstanding accreditation for Islamic education programs and institutions," he stated.

The achievements of the postgraduate students from Universitas Nurul Jadid deserve high recognition, particularly the two female students who won The Best International Writing Competitions. These students were honored with the rare opportunity to receive their awards directly from Prof. Dr. Badrudin at the event. This achievement not only brings pride to them personally but also enhances the reputation of Universitas Nurul Jadid on the international stage.
