UIN SUSKA RIAU in Pekanbaru, 2011, a paper presented in English Seminar – UIN Suska 12 December 2011 with the theme ‘The Persepective of UIN Suska Riau To Islam In Facing The Global Challenges Towards World Class University in 2020 by UIN Language Center

BACKGROUND

Islamic State University Of Sultan Syarif Kasim (UIN Suska) Riau was a result of development and improvement of education status from Islamic State Institute (IAIN) Sultan Syarif Qasim Pekanbaru which officially was confirmed based on President Regulations of RI Number 2 in 2005 dated January 4, 2005 about the change of IAIN Sulthan Syarif Kasim Pekanbaru becomes UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau and opened at 9 Februari 2005 by President of RI, Bapak Dr. H. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as evolution follow-up of this status, The Minister of Religious affairs RI specifies Organisasi and Administration UIN SUSKA RIAU based on Regulation of Islamic Laws Minister Nomber 8 in 2005 at the date of 4 April 2005.

As one of higher education in Indonesia, UIN Suska Riau also constitutes a formal institution that has the authority to conduct and develop higher education, teaching, research activities, and public services. These tasks have to be substantially accomplished to produce the desired results, which are highly-qualified human resources and competitive research. The outcomes have to benefit both the development and welfare of the nation. Each higher education institution has its own experts and research staff, research and educational infrastructures, and facilities as well as great financial supports. All of these assets should be well organized and targeted towards the achievement of common objectives, and of national development.

The objectives of higher education and learning of UIN Suska are also expected to produce qualified experts and professionals who are capable of participating in local, regional and even international developments, and to train and prepare other potential people to become new experts and professionals. The research activities are directed toward producing information on scientific achievements, development concepts, and studies on science, technology, and arts. This should not be for the sake of science, technology, and arts only, but should also be for the benefits of regional development and the welfare of the people. Community services are directed toward the urgent needs of the community such as implementation of appropriate technology and other applicable activities which have been proposed by the community concerned or surveyed by investigators. Through these tasks, higher education has been and is still playing a substantial role in national development by securing human welfare and national stability of our nation. 

In line with the efforts of UIN Suska Riau to be a World Class University with Islamic Integrity concepts, a higher education like UIN Suska Riau should constitute the best and most accurate model of the system. More importantly, its primary function is to produce and provide advanced scientific knowledge, as well as ensure methodological training for specialized medium and high-ranking executives with Islamic concepts. Further, higher education of UIN Suska Riau should strongly represents the Islamic communities’ aspiration towards progress and building a better future. Training for excellence and advanced specialization has always been among the main objectives of higher education institutions. At the same time, the university has often been an arena for teaching and research, and an institution for promoting the culture. The university also strives to provide opportunities to integrate the youth in society, and aspires to acquire and develop modern science and technology.                                                                                  

Higher education in general and in Islamic university in the world has witnessed various phenomena, in the current era, characterized by multidimensional challenges, some of which are :

1. An intensively growing number of students, especially students in Islamic university;
2. Diversity in structures, programs and training to meet the requirements of the labor market and to keep abreast of international scientific development;
3. Creation and growth of private universities and institutions of higher education due to the encouragement of public authorities to this sector, and because of the pressing need to launch new training programs;

            The fast-occurring developments in the global Islamic university are manifested in the transition to a period of openness, production and the acquisition of advanced knowledge. This ambition seems to constitute a challenging and complicated project, since more importance is currently given to what is called “qualitative education and training” or “quality training”. This awareness requires sensitizing decision-makers about the necessity of combining the qualifications, skills and needs of the Islamic world on the one hand, and the global development of the university as a universal institution targeting scientific comprehensiveness, on the other. The world today is also characterized by the impact of globalization. Within these conditions, most intellectuals, university academics and decision-makers in the Islamic universities are aware of the crucial importance of working out a strategy anticipating the prospects of higher education in the Islamic world, with a view to developing its structures and revitalizing its mission.

The adoption of a strategy in higher education aims to make this sector contribute effectively to the development of the new requirements of scientific and technological progress, and to overcome the obstacles that hinder the targeted economic and social reforms. It also aims at making this sector closely related to its original heritage as well as its spiritual and cultural originality.

The above motives are supported by the beliefs that any effective educational activity should be based on a goal-oriented vision, well-defined objectives and clear plans, beside that education in Islam is a channel of a religious and development message, in line with the teachings of Allah Almighty: “I have only created jinns and humans so that they may serve Me” (Al-Dariyat:56).

With various potensial resources like financial supports, infrastructures and human resources, UIN Suska Riau should optimize the said resources by arranging future planning and executing productive implementations of activities to be a world class university in 2020. The year of 2020 is not a long period to gain its great target, so UIN Suska Riau should be more aggressive and serious to implement all its programs. Here, I myself just try to express opinions and ideas that are useful for all of us.

UIN SUSKA RIAU MOTTO
