Unesa.ac.id Surabaya & ndash; Indonesia lacks 91000 vocational school earning teachers. Meanwhile only 37 percent are currently prepared. The rest are adaptive and academic teachers. Overcoming this the government took many ways one of which was by revitalizing the Educational Workforce Education Institution (LPTK). Director General of Institution of Science and Technology DIKTI Dr. Ir. Patdono Suwingyo M.Eng. Sc had the opportunity to discuss the basis direction and orientation of the revitalization aspects together with the leadership of the Surabaya State University (Unesa) in the Unesa Campus Rectorate Building Lidah Wetan Campus on Friday (6/14/2019).
