Thousands of students and Muhammadiyah schools from various regions will showcase their talents and compete in the Muhammadiyah Education (ME) Award on October 20. This prestigious event will be held at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) and will feature more than 18 exciting competition categories. The ME Award is an annual event organized by the Council for Primary and Secondary Education (Dikdasmen) of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) of East Java as a form of appreciation for the achievements and works of students.

Masyhud, M.Pd., the coordinator from UMM, stated that the university’s facilities and infrastructure are more than adequate to support this competition. UMM’s “White Campus” is often the venue for many notable events, both at the national and international levels.

With the theme “The Rise of Muhammadiyah Youth Generation for Future Leaders,” the ME Award aims to recognize the contributions and dedication shown by Muhammadiyah's young generation in the field of education.

“The participants include students, teachers, school principals, schools, and Muhammadiyah educational staff from all over Indonesia. There are more than 18 categories being contested,” he said.

Among the most interesting competition categories are animation and robotics, which are critical skills in today’s digital era. There is also a business plan competition, which is expected to generate innovative business ideas that can be implemented by Muhammadiyah school communities. Other categories include mathematics, physics, Quran memorization (tahfiz), Arabic speech, English speech, and more.

“In the ME Award, there are also special categories for schools, such as school magazine contests, website competitions, outstanding principal awards, outstanding teacher awards, and digital learning media innovation. We hope the ME Award will help us discover many future leaders in their respective fields,” Masyhud concluded. (wil/fajr)
