Pos Indonesia and UT Collaborate to Utilise Post Offices, Easing Student Access
Pos Indonesia (PT Pos Indonesia (Persero)) has announced a collaboration with Universitas Terbuka (UT) to utilise its post offices as venues for online examinations across Indonesia. The cooperation was formalised on Monday (3 March 2026) in a signing ceremony attended by Haris, Acting President Director of Pos Indonesia, and UT Rector Ali Muktiyanto along with senior staff. Under the agreement, Pos Indonesia offices nationwide will serve as examination locations, providing exam rooms and various supporting facilities required by students.
Haris said the partnership is a strategic move to optimise the use of the company’s assets while contributing to the education sector. ‘This collaboration is part of Pos Indonesia’s efforts to maximise asset utilisation. By providing examination rooms in post offices, we hope to support the smooth evaluation process for Universitas Terbuka students in various regions,’ he said. He added that Pos Indonesia’s extensive infrastructure network across the country has the capacity to support non-logistics activities, including digitally-based examinations.
UT Rector Ali Muktiyanto welcomed the collaboration, noting that Pos Indonesia’s infrastructure support will help widen access for UT students to take exams more easily and equitably. ‘As a university delivering open and distance learning, Universitas Terbuka requires adequate facilities to ensure online exams run smoothly. The collaboration with Pos Indonesia is a strategic solution because its network reaches into many areas,’ he added.
Support facilities: Pos Indonesia’s EVP Enterprise Business, Dino Ariadi, confirmed that exam rooms have been prepared to be comfortable and suitable for students. The company will not only provide exam spaces but also ensure all supporting facilities are available so the examination process runs smoothly. ‘We are preparing exam rooms that are comfortable with computer devices, a stable internet connection, and other supporting facilities. This will enable Universitas Terbuka students to take exams well, safely, and with focus,’ he said. He added that using post offices as exam venues is part of Pos Indonesia’s service transformation, broadening collaboration with various sectors, including education.
Each examination room has a capacity of 20 to 30 students, with a minimum of 20 laptops or computers linked to the internet and with stable electricity.
The cooperation is valid for five years, from 3 March 2026 to 2 March 2031. The collaboration also strengthens the synergy previously established between Pos Indonesia and Universitas Terbuka, especially in the delivery of documents and distribution of teaching materials to UT students across Indonesia.
Through this partnership, both institutions hope to deliver innovative solutions that not only improve the quality of distance education services but also optimise assets and the future development of Pos Indonesia’s services.
