Bung Karno University

[EduCativ]

In 1983, Universitas Bung Karno's campus was located at Gedung Perguruan Rakyat, Jalan Jenderal Soedirman, Semanggi Jakarta. Then, it was moved to Gedung Wisma Ciliwung, Bukit Duri Tanjakan, South Jakarta. The establishment of Universitas Bung Karno gained a POSITIVE response from the public. This CAN be seen from many people who applied to enroll either as a student or lecturer. In 1983/1984, the number of entrance exam participants was 4,200 people of 5,000 people who had filled the application form, while the number of lecturer applicants was 221 people.

Unfortunately, the New Order Government did not permit the establishment of Universitas Bung Karno at that time. Sixteen years later, after the fallen of the New Order regime, the transitioning Government finally permitted Universitas Bung Karno to be established and agreed that all the teachings of Bung Karno be taught to students. This occurred due to a meeting between the team of the foundation led by Rachmawati Soekarnoputri, SH, and the Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture, and followed by the Decree of Education and Culture Ministry No. 101/D/0/1999 that has permitted the establishment of THE UNIVERSITY.

On June 25, 1999, the THIRD President of Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Ing. BJ Habibie, inaugurated the establishment of Universitas Bung Karno at the Presidential Palace and made Universitas Bung Karno the only university in Indonesia ESTABLISHED by the head of state in the Presidential Palace. ON JUNE 28TH 1999, the Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture inaugurated Bung Karno University's campus located at Jl. Kimia No. 20, Central Jakarta.
