JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — The Ministry of Education and Culture awarded a scholarship to the family of one of the teachers who participated in the Bachelor of Teaching program of The Leading, Outermost and Disadvantaged Regions, Winda Yulia, who drowned in East Aceh. The awarding of this scholarship is a manifestation of Kemdikbud’s attention to the sacrifice of the best alumnus of the Mathematics Department of the University of Education of Indonesia.

Supriadi explained that scholarships will be given to the families of the victims who were left behind. Scholarships will be awarded to the entire biological family of Winda. If there is no biological family, one person appointed by the family becomes a representative. “The scholarship is full coverage,”said Supriadi.

Supriadi said that the government appreciated the services of the deceased, and considered him to have suffered a disaster while carrying out state duties. UPI Rector Sunaryo Kartadinata added that the university will try to facilitate the wishes of the family of Geugeut Zaludiosanusa Anafi. The search for Geugeut by the SAR team and UPI will continue. This is in accordance with the family’s request. “There are as many as two teams that are monitoring, from us and also from Medan State University,” he said.

Winda returned home after attending a coordination meeting of The Bachelor of Teaching in The Leading, Outermost and Disadvantaged Regions (SM3T) at the East Aceh District Dikpora Office, around 17.00 WIB, Monday (11/26/2012).
