Jakarta State University (UNJ) has again made positive achievements in strengthening its commitment to inclusive higher education. UNJ received the title "Good" as an Inclusive Higher Education in the UNS-KND Inclusion Metric, an assessment conducted by Sebelas Maret University (UNS) together with the National Commission for Disabilities (KND).

This award is proven through the UNS-KND Inclusion Metric Certificate Number 6028/UN27/HM.01.11/2026 which was given to Jakarta State University. The certificate was established in Surakarta on July 15 2026 and signed by the Chancellor of Sebelas Maret University, Prof. Dr. Hartono, dr., M.Sc., and Chairman of the National Commission on Disabilities, Dr. Dante Rigmalia, M.Pd.

In the UNS-KND Inclusion Metric assessment results, UNJ obtained a total score of 367.82 out of a maximum score of 500, so it is in the Good category. Based on the criteria stated in the certificate, a score of 401–500 is included in the categoryVery good, score 301–400 categoryGood, score 201–300 categoriesEnough, and score 100–200 categoriesNot yet inclusive.

The Chancellor of Jakarta State University expressed his appreciation for UNJ's achievements in the UNS-KND Inclusion Metric 2026. This achievement was seen as a form of recognition of the various efforts that UNJ has made in building a higher education environment that is inclusive, friendly, and provides equal opportunities for all academics, including students with disabilities.

The Chancellor also emphasized that the Good title obtained by UNJ is not only a form of appreciation for the achievements that have been achieved, but also a motivation to continue to strengthen policies, services, facilities and a culture of inclusion within the university environment. It is hoped that the results of this assessment can become part of the continuous evaluation and improvement process in realizing UNJ as an increasingly inclusive higher education institution.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Information Systems at UNJ expressed his appreciation for this achievement and also assessed the assessment results as important information for the university in developing data-based policies and programs. According to him, achieving a score of 367.82 shows that UNJ has a good foundation in building a culture and institutions that support inclusiveness.

The Vice Chancellor also emphasized the importance of using assessment results as a basis for strengthening various aspects that still have room for development, including learning, social psychological support, physical support, as well as systems and governance that support the implementation of inclusive higher education. Optimal use of data and information systems is also considered important to ensure that the development of inclusion programs can be carried out in a measurable, sustainable manner and in line with the direction of institutional development.

Strong in Cultural Aspects of Inclusion

The assessment results show that UNJ has a strong foundation in building a culture of inclusion in the higher education environment. In this aspect, there are four indicators that are assessed, namely the attitude of lecturers, the attitude of educational staff, the attitude of students without disabilities, and the perception of students with disabilities.

UNJ received a score of 44.96 out of 50 on the lecturer attitude indicator. Meanwhile, the attitude indicator for students without disabilities received a score of 44.12 out of 50. The attitude of educational staff received a score of 40.90 out of 50, while the perception of students with disabilities received a score of 39.84 out of 50. This achievement shows the existence of a relatively strong inclusive culture and awareness within the UNJ academic community.

Strengthening Inclusive Policies and Practices

Apart from the culture of inclusion, the assessment also covers policy and practice aspects which include institutions, SPMB, learning, social psychological support and physical support.

In the institutional aspect, UNJ obtained a score of 58.80 out of 60, becoming one of the highest achievements in the policy and practice component. Furthermore, the learning score reached 36.00 out of 60, social psychological support 40.20 out of 60, physical support 31.80 out of 60, and SPMB 31.20 out of 60. Overall, all these indicators produced an accumulated score of 367.82.

This achievement illustrates that efforts to build an inclusive higher education institution at UNJ are not only reflected in the cultural aspects and attitudes of the academic community, but are also beginning to be integrated into institutions, learning, social psychological support, quality assurance systems, and the provision of physical support.

UNJ includes 10 certificate receiving universities

UNJ is one of 10 universities listed as recipients of the Inclusion Metric certificate from UNS. In the official UNS letter Number 6461/UN27/HM.00.02/2026 dated 10 August 2026, UNJ is listed in third place in the list of recipients, along with Padang State University, Hamzanwadi University, Lampung University, Telkom University, PGRI Argopuro Jember University, Diponegoro University, Indonesian Education University, Bandung Islamic University, and Padjadjaran University.

The letter explains that the Inclusion Metric certificate is given as a form of appreciation and proof of the university's participation in Inclusion Metric activities. UNS also expressed its appreciation for the participation and contribution of universities in supporting the implementation of these activities.

Becoming a Momentum to Strengthen UNJ's Inclusive Campus

Obtaining a Good predicate in the 2026 UNS-KND Inclusion Metric is an important achievement and reflection for UNJ to continue to strengthen a higher education ecosystem that is friendly, equal and accessible to all students, including students with disabilities.

This achievement can also be a stepping stone for UNJ to improve the quality of inclusion policies and practices, especially in aspects that still have room for development, such as SPMB, learning, physical support and social psychological support.

In the future, UNJ is committed to continuing to develop an academic environment that provides equal opportunities for all academics. Strengthening a culture of inclusion, increasing accessibility, developing learning that is responsive to student needs, and providing adequate support are important parts in realizing UNJ as an increasingly inclusive and sustainable higher education institution.

The "Good" predicate in the UNS-KND Inclusion Metric 2026 is not just recognition, but is momentum for UNJ to continue moving towards higher education that is increasingly inclusive, adaptive, and provides equal space for all.
