Defense ministry to set up university

JAKARTA: The defense ministry is still preparing for the
establishment of defense university, the National Defense Higher
Learning Institute (STIHAN).

"STIHAN will net military cadets and civil servants working
for the defense ministry, the Indonesian Military, National
Police, and civil servants from other departments closely related
to national defense," defense ministry Secretary General Vice
Marshal Suprihadi was quoted by Antara as saying.

Suprihadi said STIHAN would offer three study programs --
Defense Strategy, Defense Management, and Defense Information
Technology.

He did not say when the university will open, but indicated
that the ministry was waiting for the backing of the National
Education Department, military leadership, and existing higher
learning institutions. --Antara
