"Education takes place beyond school buildings"

On May 2, we commemorate the National Education Day every year. The history of National Education Day cannot be separated from the figure and struggle of Ki Hadjar Dewantara, the father of education. “Everyone becomes a teacher, every house becomes a school. Education does not stop at school buildings, but also at home, on the streets, and elsewhere” is one of the famous quotes of Ki Hadjar Dewantara. ​

In the same month, Anglia Indonesia conducted the second Teacher and Student webinars using our Anglia Online Platform. This series of online webinar are part of our commitment to support the project schools. During the group discussion in the Break Out Room, students shared their experiences using the platform for the past six weeks. Listening and speaking were often mentioned as students’ favourite activities from the platform. It enables them to learn and practice English actively and independently at home. 

“These (listening and speaking) are something that we do not get from school”, one of the students explained.

Four weeks are left for the students to complete the course, and we earnestly look forward to hearing more stories and feedback from students and teachers.
