| Kang Guru visit to SMPN 2 Sukalarang SATAP, Karamat, West Java |
 |
Under Australia's Education partnership with Indonesia during 2012-13 over 400 new junior high schools have been constructed across Indonesia. The schools have been built to provide better access to education for students who might otherwise not be able to go to school.
One of the new schools constructed is SMPN 2 Sukalarang in Karamat, West Java and on 29 May 2013 the Kang Guru team visited the school to meet staff members, students and community representatives. The school is located high in the mountains, surrounded by lush green trees and vegetation. The air is fresh, cool and clean: a wonderful learning environment for students. |
We were welcomed by Bapak M A Hoeudin, the school principal, Bapak Ujang Supyani, the school supervisor, and Bapak Usep Mohamad Yusup, the community construction supervisor. We were also joined by a parent representative Bapak Agus Suryadi and the school committee head Ibu Yuliawati.
It was extremely evident that the school had strong support from the local community and that everyone is proud to be a part of the school construction and development.

The school has a primary school and Bapak Hoeudin explained that before the junior high school was built when the students graduated from Year 6, they needed to move to the nearest junior high school four kilometres away. The students had to either walk to the school, or take a motorbike and many students were forced to drop out of school. Now that the new junior high school has been built students have been able to re-join the school in Sukalarang and those who dropped out have now returned. The students are happy and so are their parents, knowing their children are able to attend school much closer to home which has been constructed with strong community involvement and commitment. |

The Kang Guru team were warmly welcomed by the school principal Ibu Aidah Nurhayati and her staff. The workshop was attended by 32 MTs and SMPN English teachers from the Sukabumi area.

| The facilitators were very pleased that teachers from five newly constructed schools built under Australia's Education Partnership with Indonesia were also able to attend. One of these teachers, Ibu Imas Masamah, from SMPN 6 Simpenan SATAP had travalled three hours by motorbike to take part in the workshop which shows fabulous commitment and dedication |

Following an opening speech by Ibu Aidah, the workshop facilitators then presented activities and strategies focusing on listening and reading. The participants were a lively group and everyone was keen to learn new skills in teaching English. The Kang Guru team hope that everyone was able learn some valuable skills which they can share with their students. Thank you to all the participants, to MTs Sunuhulhuda for being our organizing partner and also to the Australian Aid program for supporting this ELT workshop. |
