SOME 365 SCHOOL TEACHERS IN ACEH TRAINED WITH PRIVATE FUNDING
Banda Aceh, June 16 (ANTRARA) - At least 365 school teachers and principals in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province have undergone a Teachers Education and Training Program in Aceh (TETA)program funded by private organizations to improve the quality of education in the province.
The program was implemented by Sampoerna Foundation with support from the Credit Suisse Group Foundation (CSGF) beginning in November 2006 for a period that would end on June 21 this year.
Sampoerna Foundation spokesman Sapto H Sakti said here on Monday the program was intended to improve the teachers' capability in instructing students in class rooms.
He said the powerful earthquake and ensuing tsunami that devastated Aceh on December 26, 2004 had obliterated education facilities and infrastructure in the province, and therefore the CSGF had tried to improve the quality of education in the province through the TETA program with funds totaling Rp8 billion.
Sapto said the focus of CSGF's attention in contributing to Aceh's rehabiltation and reconstruction was on improving the teaching capability of teachers in Aceh.
He added the improvement of teachers' capability in Aceh was considered important in the province's long term rehabilitation process, especially in relation with human resources development.
