The Strategic Objective 1 regarding the implementation of education and learning is achieved excellently to 199.5%, which has far exceeded the set target to be categorized as very good. The performance achievement in Strategic Objective 2 of the implementation and facilitation of research has reached 70%, categorized as good.

As for the Strategic Objective 3, which is the implementation and facilitation of community service, the achievement of performance indicators has reached 65%, categorized as sufficient. Finally, the performance achievement for the Strategic Objective 4 regarding governance is 329.9%, categorized as very good.

2) In conducting its activities to achieve the performance targets, FS has a number of

best practice experiences which will continuously be improved for better

performance. For example, the increase in the quantity and quality of research and

service as well as national and international publications in 2020 needs to be followed

up on the FS 2021 action plan. Another best practice is the establishment of an

academic system that remains active even during the pandemic. FS provides optimal

facilities for academic interaction in regular class activities and supporting ones, such

as national and international seminars, community service by involving

school/teacher institutions, academic discussion and coordination for

thesis/dissertation writing, and internship coordination/discussion for undergraduate

academic communication and interactions centered on campus and attended by

students from various regions in Indonesia.
