The Religious Affairs Ministry of Indonesia has partnered with the United States Embassy in Indonesia through the Fulbright scholarship program managed by the American Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF). The agreement was signed by Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar and US Ambassador Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir, aiming to improve education quality, promote cultural exchanges, and share insights on society and culture between the two countries. Under the partnership, Islamic female students in Indonesia can apply for the Fulbright scholarship, while native English-speaking teachers from the US will be placed at Islamic schools in Indonesia to teach the language. The agreement also includes opportunities for Indonesian lecturers to conduct joint research with their US counterparts and for leaders of Islamic boarding schools to visit the US for comparative studies on Muslim civilization development.
