Indonesia - Managing
Basic Education (MBE)
The main objective of the Managing
Basic Education project is to build models
of improved basic education in a number of target
districts, which can be replicated to other districts.
Under this grand scheme, community participation
from the districts is seen as a crucial element
for the success of the project. One of the areas
covered by the project is the Banyuwangi district
in East Java, Indonesia. Community participation
in Banyuwangi, especially from parents supporting
their schools is said to be constantly improving
since the project started. The community has funded
and helped constructed a language laboratory,
science laboratory, computer laboratory, bike
parking area, new pavement, and a new school entrance
gate for the district school. Furthermore, the
community is also getting involved in may extra-curricular
activities in schools such as celebrations of
national and religious holidays for which many
ideas come from the local community.
