The Importance of Budget Design for Fapsi Sustainability

The draft budget made by Fapsi plays an important role in the sustainability and development of the faculty. The budget is used for various purposes, including facility development, development of education personnel, as well as supporting academic programs such as the implementation of lectures, practicums, and support for student research programs.
