Eversince, the competition has become the forum for students to increase their knowledge on the role of geography sicence and to produce future leaders who are capable intellectuals.

“I send a message to the teachers to promote the rescue of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Environment degradation, poverty, unemployment, conflicts, and health problems, please resolve all these issues through the young hands,” said Prof. Suratman.
