In Bogor district, two hours from Jakarta, resides a small isolated village called Cijeruk.
The 75,000 villagers here subsist on farming. This hilly region has 9
elementary schools catering to 3,000 children (age 7-12). Each year,
500 students graduate from Primary 6, yet only a few goes to High School.
This is because there is only one junior high school located quite a
distance away. This junior high school can only be reached by motorcycle
taxis as there are no proper roads. Most parents cannot afford the USD2 (IDR 20,000)a day. As a result, many children stop their education after elementary school and help their parents on the farms.
To cater to an increasing demand for junior high school education, HDI
Foundation decided to build a Junior High School for 180 students. Run in
two shifts, it is complete with 3 classrooms, a teachers'
and principal's room, washrooms and a courtyard.
The school is currently adopting a unique teaching method where teachers
use a hands-on approach in skills training and development. Students are
taught practical applications and this gives them the added advantage when looking for a job. We hope to put more students through similar training in the near future. |
