Jakarta, 3 March 2009 – So you think you can teach? Could you be Indonesia’s next great teacher. Teaching is a noble profession that plays a vital role in the process of learning and character building. Unfortunately, this statement is hard to believe in Indonesia, as the profession receives little appreciation and is often taken for granted. It is time for Indonesia change this attitude, improve the quality of teachers, and to start creating a new generation of teachers. Putera Sampoerna School of Education (SSE), which officially launched today (3/3/2009), is committed to developing and creating high quality educators in Indonesia. The event is held at Sampoerna Strategic Square and officiated by Ron Perkinson, President of Sampoerna Foundation, Fasli Djalal, Dirjen DIKTI and was attended also by Prof. S Gopinathan, a Senior Consultant from Singapore and Kenneth Cock, Director of Sampoerna Foundation Teacher Institute (SFTI).
