The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada held Mid-Semester Examinations on 1 – 3 April 2024 and then continued on 22 – 26 April 2024. As the month of Ramadan ended a while ago, starting from the 23 April 2024 onwards, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine provided free breakfast for students who take the exam at 07.15 WIB.
W (19th), a second semester student said, “This is very beneficial for students, especially those who live in boarding houses, it saves money. Apart from that, it also helps not to think about what to eat later because the breakfast already provided by campus. So, it helps us be more focused while doing the exam.” W also said that what the campus prepared was better than what students usually consume at breakfast.
The initial aim of holding this free breakfast was also an effort to ensure students get good nutrition, especially during exams. The breakfast provided contains carbohydrates, protein and vegetables. This is in line with the second sustainability goal or SDGs, namely No Hunger. Furthermore, providing free breakfast during exams is in line with efforts to improve the quality of education with adequate nutrition.
This free breakfast program covers more than 900 students from all classes (including lecturers and exam supervisors) over a period of 4 days. It is hoped that the results of the Mid-Term Examination will be better as students’ health improves.
