"We have formed the curriculum, considering that the future threat is no longer a real threat of war, but a threat that leads to cyber war," Military Academy Governor Major General Dudung Abdurachman stated while receiving the press from the Ministry of Defense in Magelang on Thursday (November 22).
According to him, cyber has been included in the 2017 curriculum, and this year, the Military Academy has added more subjects on radicalism and deradicalization in the curriculum.
"It is a special subject for cadets and female cadets," Dudung noted.
He added that there are still shortcomings in carrying out the curriculum, as are some facilities are not adequately available, such as updated information systems, technology and network infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the subject on radicalism and deradicalism includes education about national morals and national defense, Sapta Marga (the seven pledges of military), and the pillars of the nation.
"We still need a lot of infrastructure," Dudung said.
In his remarks, the Military Academy Governor affirmed that the press visit was an honor and pride for the Academic Community of the Military Academy because it brought about great benefit to the academy as an educational institution for military officials.
Dudung pointed out that the Military Academy was an institution at the National Army, with the main task of monitoring the education sector.
At present, the Military Academy educates 747 cadets and 53 female cadets.
After completing their studies at the Military Academy, the cadets will hold two titles, namely, Second Lieutenant and Applied Defense Bachelor (S.T. Han).
