Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Hundreds of Indonesian teachers will participate
in an educational program to study the Australian educational system at
the University of Melbourne and work at several schools there, a press
release issued on Saturday said.
The 136 Indonesian teachers will study the Australian educational
system in a short course and have opportunities to teach at several
Australian schools, said the press release from the Australian Embassy
in Jakarta received here.
The three-week short course will provide practical examples to the
participants on how to apply the educational system and share
experiences with fellow teachers after they have returned to their
homeland.
The world-class Australian universities, polytechnics and schools
make this country one of the main destinations for Indonesian students
looking to study abroad.
Almost a quarter of the number of Indonesian students abroad are
studying in Australia. In 2015, there were 19,300 Indonesian applicants
across various Australian educational institutions.
Through the Australian government scholarship program, New Colombo
Plan, within the last two years, there are 2,000 young Australians who
live, work and study in Indonesia.
The Australians also have a great interest in knowing more and looking for opportunities to study and work in Indonesia.
Recently, the Indonesian Consulate General (KJRI) in Sidney
facilitated 22 students and two teachers from grade 10 of the Indonesian
program at St. John the Evangelist High School Nowra, Australia to
learn Indonesian.
The program is part of "Visiting KJRI" which aims to motivate
students and teachers of the Indonesian program at high schools in
Sydney and surrounding areas to learn Indonesian as a second language. (WDY)
