However, the implementation has several problems, likewise old-fashioned campaigns and poor strategy to gain networking and community awareness.

For starters, separate the presentation into topic paragraphs for easy reading. This current format is hard on the eyes, making it difficult to read. The compressed words do not help the reviewer gain a sense of clarity in your writing. It also makes it difficult to follow what you are trying to say.

Separate the university and course choice discussions. One paragraph, one university, one related course. Never try to qualify the universities on the same strengths because these universities have a preference ranking with you, based on your academic and professional requirements. Since you have only 400 words to use in response, you may want to focus specifically on the university and course choices rather than the lengthy explanation of the profession you are engaged in. Rather than introducing that separately, integrate the information instead as one of the deciding factors for your course and university choices. That way the presentation becomes short, informative, and relevant on all fronts.

Maybe you can answer the question directly first and then explain your reason(s). For example:

I am applying for the Master of Public Health (MPH) because I have the eagerness to contribute to enhancing the Indonesian Human Development Index and MPH can equip me (skills that you need...) to (.....).

And then list the problems that you want to solve chronologically.

Do the same thing to answer the question of why you choose the university and don't forget to relate it to the problems that you already mentioned in the first answer. Keep spirit !!!
