Context 

Ministry of Religious Affairs (Indonesia)

Indonesia has made considerable progress towards reaching the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education. However, in spite of the Government's commitment to ensure a minimum of nine years education for all Indonesian children, many still do not enrol in junior secondary schools. In addition, the quality of basic education remains low, including teacher qualifications, school management and community involvement. Unstimulating teaching and learning practices are still common in Indonesian classrooms. Student participation is often low and the overall outcomes of schooling can have little impact.

12 districts in six provinces

Education Mainstreaming good practices in basic education in Indonesia    How good practices have changed the school environment "Through the MGP BE project, teachers' skills and knowledge are strengthened. Teachers are now applying creative teaching which involves fun teaching techniques for students. The relationships between teachers and students has also improved from the previous top-down approach to a more interactive two-way communication. Good practices boost students' self-confidence, as their products are displayed in schools, and their creativity is appreciated by teachers and other students. With the introduction of school budget transparency in our schools, parents are now more involved and supportive of school activities. They also voluntarily contributed their time and money to support school activities." Ms Alma Nihe, teacher. "My friends and I are now enjoying our classes, and are more enthusiastic to go to school. All students can now express their opinions and we do not have to follow texts from the books. We can also express our creativity through drawing and written work which is displayed in our classes." Fara Riedfa Kelilauw, student of an Islamic junior secondary school in Limboto. "Advocacy efforts have resulted in an increasing number of non-target schools replicating good practices using their own resources. MGP BE has significantly improved the teaching and learning performance in participating schools of the two targeted sub-districts of the Boalemo District. Therefore, supported by the District Parliament, we decided to allocate the district's education budget to finance the replication of MGP BE in five non-targeted sub-districts. From being fourth or fifth ranked in the past, Boalemo District recently rose to become the first of six districts in Gorontalo Province!" Mr Iwan Bokings, Head of Boalemo District in Gorontalo Province.

Mr. Iwan Bokings, Head of Boalemo District, signs his commitment to continue expanding good practices in the district
