<![CDATA[Cooperative governance is a very crucial factor in the development of a cooperative. Many cooperatives do not develop because of governance problems, for example the cooperative management is old, minimal knowledge of cooperative management and incorrect business development mean that cooperatives do not develop, leading to cooperative decline and failure. Until now, one of the problems with cooperatives is still the same, namely the problem of cooperative governance which has not fully implemented cooperative principles completely and correctly. Many cooperatives run their business in the same way as public companies, seeking high profits, offering high loan interest and no difference in treatment between cooperative members and non-members. So that the benefits of belonging to a cooperative are not felt by members. Cooperative education and training is important for management as well as for cooperative members. This is to foster love for cooperatives as member-owned and jointly owned business entities. Willingness to carry out transactions in cooperatives to fulfill their needs. Without knowledge of cooperatives for members, members will assume that transactions in cooperatives and non-cooperatives are the same. In fact, the progress of a cooperative is very dependent on member participation in the cooperative. Cultivating cooperative capital will be better and will have healthy finances if more of it comes from cooperative members. For business development managers, it is important to promote and develop cooperatives. But of course this business development must be feasible and in accordance with members' needs. So it is very important and necessary to provide education and training for cooperative administrators and members to become a modern cooperative.
