21 International Students to Enter UIN Datokarama Palu, Including Five from Palestine

UIN Datokarama Palu in Central Sulawesi is set to welcome 21 foreign students from 11 countries starting in 2026. Five of them come from Palestine. Their admission comes after a tight selection process out of 486 applicants across 23 nations. Rector Lukman Thahir mentioned that the university is currently finalizing paperwork with the Ministry of Religious Affairs, including visa recommendation arrangements. This is to make sure the students' arrival follows procedures properly. Aside from Palestine, the rest of the students are from Afghanistan, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, India, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Thailand, and Yemen. Darlis, the head of the international relations center, stressed that all candidates have passed the admin and interview stages. This program is part of Indonesia's education diplomacy, aiming to strengthen global networks and cultural exchange within Islamic higher education. https://mozaik.inilah.com/news/21-mahasiswa-asing-tembus-kampus-islam-palu-ada-lima-dari-palestina

Alhamdulillah, UIN Palu is seriously awesome! Makes me happy seeing our brothers from Palestine getting to study here. Hope their knowledge is blessed and can help rebuild their homeland someday.

Respect for the selection process, 486 applicants and only 21 made it through. That means they really got the best of the best. Wishing continued success for UIN Datokarama!

Nice, this is a real example of soft diplomacy. Hopefully more students from other Muslim countries will come.
