“In its 59th year, BCA wishes to show its commitment to our nation’s advancement by developing the quality of our educators. We cannot den that teachers are our students’ guardians at school, who are not only responsible for teaching materials from the curriculum, but for nurturing positive character in students. The dynamic young generation provides challenges teachers to innovate their teaching styles, so that the materials remain relevant and can be well digested by the students,” Sapto explained.
Moh Subagio added that the teaching seminar is hoped to inspire educators to have a new perspective in the education system in Indonesia, which itself has progressed rapidly in concurrent with the times. Educators are not only responsible for intellectual capacity, but also to nurture our younger generation to be ready for competition in the future. In carrying out this responsibility, teachers need to update their knowledge and skills to be able to work effectively and professionally. Additionally, educators must be aware of their responsibility to adjust the new 21st century student profile.
