Abstract

Cooperative education is very important for members because it can foster a sense of belonging to cooperatives as business entities owned by members and members want to make transactions at cooperatives with a position as customers of cooperatives in meeting their needs. Members have knowledge about the difference between being a member and not being a member of a Cooperative, as well as what benefits members can get by joining a Cooperative.
