6.192 5.3.2 Policy for women applications and entry

The issue of gender equality in higher education remains a challenge, particularly during the application and admission stages. To address this, Sebelas Maret University (UNS) has taken concrete steps through Rector’s Regulation No. 18 of 2024 concerning Independent Selection for New Student Admissions for Diploma and Undergraduate Programs. This regulation aims to regulate new student admissions based on the principles of transparency, fairness, and equal access. UNS has also a Circular Letter Number: 81.4/UN27/HK.06/2024 concerning Anti Discrimination. This letter containing measures for the prevention and handling of all forms of discrimination within the university environment, while promoting equality in all campus activities for the entire academic community, regardless of gender, economic background, disability status, region of origin, country of origin (including developing nations), or minority identity based on ethnicity, religion, race, culture, or other groups.

The output of this policy is clear student admissions procedures and fair selection standards, with admission requirements free from gender discrimination. The expected outcomes are an increase in the number of female applicants and students in various study programs, a more balanced gender distribution, and the elimination of the perception that gender is a barrier to access to higher education.

Based on comparative data on the number of male and female students at various educational levels, it is clear that female students constitute a significant proportion at all levels. This demonstrates that the application, admission, and participation processes at UNS are gender-neutral and provide equal opportunities for women to access higher education.

Moving forward, UNS plans to monitor application data by gender each academic year, evaluate any imbalances, and adjust quotas or support programs for prospective female students as needed. If faculties or study programs are identified with significant gender disparities, interventions will be implemented through special outreach, affirmative action policies, or revised admission criteria to be more inclusive. Furthermore, information campaigns and outreach to schools, especially in remote areas, will be strengthened to inform women from diverse backgrounds about opportunities to access UNS.

The following are UNS’s formal policies that ensure equal opportunities for women in the application, admission, and participation process at the university:

It regulates the educational pathway from primary to higher education, establishes the state’s obligation to guarantee equal access, and mandates a minimum allocation of 20% of the national and regional budgets (APBN/APBD) for education. Therefore, the Sisdiknas Law serves as a national legal foundation to ensure equal access to education, including for women, in entering and participating in higher education.
