Krida Wacana Christian University


The Krida Wacana Christian University is a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was founded on January 20, 1967, as Universitas Kristen Djaja.

History

Founding and early history

With initiatives of several figures from the Indonesian Christian Church - West Java Chapter supported by Prof. Dr. G.A. Siwabessy and Rev. Rumambi-Kolopita, Universitas Kristen Djaja was erected as a continuation of first and secondary schools under BPK Penabur on January 20, 1967 by decree.
Due to the obligation to separate the administration of first, secondary, and public education with tertiary one, ever since November 22, 1990, the management of UKRIDA was transferred from BPK Penabur to the Foundation of Krida Wacana Tertiary Education.
To synchronize with YPTK Krida Wacana, the name of Universitas Kristen Djaja was changed on February 8, 1992 to Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana following a decree from the Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture while using the acronym of UKRIDA. Krida is translated as 'work' while Wacana as 'word' : As a whole Krida Wacana Christian University means the university that works for the word.
