“DBE3 programs motivate teachers to teach their students better and improve students’ ability to absorb the material, as teachers integrate students’ everyday experiences into the lessons and the students enjoy their learning more.”

District Head Supports Replication

THIS is a new model of training. Teachers really need professional training like this. This is important in the context of developing national and international standard schools. Therefore, replication of DBE3 training should take place in all sub districts.”

That was what the Deputy District Head of Karawang Hj. Eli Amalia Supriatna said, on behalf of the District Head, at the opening ceremony of DBE3 training in Pangkalan sub-district, Karawang. The two-day training was attended by 88 teachers from Pangkalan and Tegalwaru sub-districts .

The Karawang District Head’s statement demonstrates the potential for running replication programs in Karawang. According to H. Udin, a DBE3 District Facilitator, there are already several national and international-standard schools in Karawang and others which will become national and international-standard schools in the future.

The teachers in all of those schools need intensive training to make them more professional.
