The mathematics education graduate program at Yogyakarta State University is now not only in demand by students from Indonesia but also from abroad.  Baoyang YOUAYIA, an alumnus of Soupanouvong University Laos, decided to continue his graduate studies in 2018. With a lot of struggle, he finally managed to get a scholarship from the KNB scholarship and chose Yogyakarta State University as his destination campus. The main reason Baoyang chose the UNY postgraduate program in addition to the quality of the UNY campus itself was also due to his interest in the research articles produced by the mathematics education study program of the UNY postgraduate program both by dosean and students. Bao also has the belief that by choosing to study at UNY there will be many positive things he can learn and can bring to be developed in his country later.

Bao feels that he has found new friends and family in Indonesia. One thing that has become his current target is to maximize the rest of his time in Indonesia to learn as much as possible and be able to complete the postgraduate program on time with the best predicate of course.
