Jumriah, S, Pd. The chair of the MGMP SMP/MTs of Bontang City expressed her gratitude and hoped this visit could be agreed on some points of cooperation. “Through this visit, we also want to get some inputs to prepare the program for 2024,” said Jumriah.
“We are grateful for this trust and visitation from MGMP SMP/MTs of Bontang City. Hopefully, through today’s discussion, a mutual beneficial cooperation between the two parties will be agreed upon,” said Yudianti in his speech.
