Sampoerna School of Education was established in September 2009 as an integral part of the larger University project. The School of Education will be the first tertiary Faculty that will offer principally the 4‐year undergraduate Bachelor of Education (Bed) program. Subsequently, other appropriate training and professional development programs, including school leadership programs, will be offered. The School of Education will also enter into downstream innovative forms of curriculum and delivery strategies for teacher education.
With the aim of attracting the highest quality individuals to become leading educators in Indonesian society with an appropriate mix of sound academic and personal qualities, who will set the highest standards as future leaders in their profession. These educators will possess strong values to become good role models in their profession and in society and will be equipped with the highest order of teaching skills and quality practices that will make them highly employable and in high demand for both their personal attributes and their professional teaching qualities.
The School of Education will be positioned as an inclusive institution where teacher preparation and the subsequent development of teachers is conceptualized as a continuum. These principles are vital as teachers can only be regarded as 21st century knowledge professionals if they are lifelong learners and reflective practitioners.
