ibnchannel.id – Bali Governor Wayan Koster has invited all university rectors to work together to develop superior human resources (HR) in Bali through the One Family, One Graduate program. This brilliant initiative is a collective dedication to building the future of Bali’s younger generation while strengthening Balinese civilization.
The program, targeted at underprivileged families in Bali, is set to begin in August 2025. Full support from 26 public and private universities in Bali was evident during a meeting with Governor Koster on Monday, June 2, 2025, at the Kertha Sabha Meeting Room, Jayasabha, Denpasar.

The One Family, One Graduate program is prioritized for high school/vocational school graduates from underprivileged families across Bali,” said Governor Wayan Koster on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
Naturally, the public is curious about when this program will be implemented, as all krama (Balinese people) from low-income families stand to benefit from it.

The Governor also assigned a special team to draft the technical implementation guidelines to ensure the program runs accurately and sustainably.
“This is part of Bali’s commitment to a more competitive, just, and civilized future,” said Koster.
In detail, Governor Koster explained the implementation schemes. Several approaches will be adopted:
- University rectors will provide special admission quotas with free tuition for 25–100 students.
