Two Alumni from MAN 1 Central Tapanuli Earn Full Scholarships to China, Proving Madrasah Competitiveness
Two graduates of MAN 1 Central Tapanuli, Sri Mupliha Purba and Nur Khafipa Lubis, got accepted into Shaanxi Polytechnic Institute in China, majoring in Power Battery Technology with a full scholarship. They’re the first alumni from that madrasah to ever break into a Chinese university through this scholarship scheme.
Nur Khafipa, who’s memorized eight juz of the Quran and won an Arabic Olympiad, said the program info came from their teacher, Ardi Wandana. The selection process included registration, admin stuff, and an interview. "Alhamdulillah, thanks to my parents’ prayers, teacher support, and consistent effort, I made it through," she said.
This study program is pretty relevant to the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. The scholarship covers tuition, dorm, book allowance, and even job opportunities in the field. According to Elmaryanti Marbun, the head of MAN 1 Central Tapanuli, this success shows that madrasah graduates can compete globally without ditching Islamic values.
