  20. 4. Lesson learned

  21. Lesson learned ✘ Number of student mobility intra ASEAN is still not very high compared to other student mobility program such as ASEAN – East Asia mobility program. ✘ ASEAN students are not very well informed about this program and also about AUN member universities, so that ACTS and AUN member universities have to promote themselves more efficiently.

  22. Lesson learned (2) ✘ Some AUN member universities are still not capable of providing scholarships for their students. Therefore, external funding is really necessary for this program. ✘ To promote this mobility program, both external and internal funding should not only be allocated for scholarship. The funding should also be allocated for promotion and capacity building of parties involved in this program such as IROs and lecturers.
