INTERNATIONALIZATION
Launch of Sampoerna School of Education
SSE is set to create equal opportunities for all students who
wish to become professional educators. SSE also offers a
unique Career Management Program designed to prepare
future leaders for the education sector and provides career
opportunities within the Sampoerna Foundation network of
schools upon graduation.
Prof. dr. Fasli Jalal, Ph.D pointed out that it is crucial for Indo-
nesia to own an education institution for teachers: “We have to
engage the need for quality teachers in Indonesia.”
Prof. S Gopinathan stated, “In order to survive globalization,
Indonesia requires a world-class school of education that com-
bines local and international teaching methodologies, interna-
tional institution partners and faculty members with national
and international recognitions.”
Ron Perkinson added, “SSE would become one of Indonesia’s
most prestigious institutions that provides education for future
educators and non-educators who are professional, competi-
tive and who are able to continuously self-develop to meet the
challenges of national development.”
“SSE recognizes the power of knowledge and dedicates its
institution to equip every student with the highest order of

- management team of PT Sampoerna Agro Tbk.
104 teachers and principals along with educators from several schools in Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) - Kayuagung South Sumatra
would take part in a two-year quality and professionalism improvement program. School renovation projects will be carried out
for two public primary schools. The programs’ commencement was made official by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
signing between OKI Regent, Ishak Mekki and SF Director of Programs & Alumni Affairs, Eddy Henry; in Kayuagung on February
17th 2009.
The quality improvement and professionalism program would benefit 90 teachers, 14 principals and selected educators from
several local schools including SDN 1 Sumber Hidup, SDN 2 Pulau Geronggang, SDN 1 Maribaya, SDN 2 Sumbusari Mesuji Raya,
SDN 2 Sumber Hidup, SDN 2 Tanjung Makmur, SDN 3 Sumburaya Mesuji Surya Adi, and SDN 01 Sumber Baru.
Two public primary schools, SDN 2 Sumbu Sari in Mesuji Raya and SDN 1 Maribaya in Padamaran Timur, would also be reno-
vated. In total, 584 students will enjoy new school buildings carried out by the SF Education Recovery program team.
OKI is a regency known for its rich endowment of natural resources. The regency has an abundance of plantations that grow rub-
ber, palm oil, sugar cane and fruits. Unfortunately, the quality of human resources in this regency is very low compared to that
of other regencies and cities in Indonesia. Data from the 2006 Biro Pusat Statistics (Central Bureau of Statistics) shows that the
Human Development Index (HDI) in OKI Regency ranked 243 from a total of 456 regencies/cities in Indonesia. This index also fell
below the HDI of South Sumatra Province and Indonesia overall.
1st Quarter Report 2009
19. 19
Moreover, data from the Ministry of Education 2006/2007 show that 97.7% of a total of 4655 primary school teachers in OKI
Regency were not able to meet the national standards of teaching. This means that only 1 out of 44 teachers in the OKI region is
qualified. This condition is discouraging, considering the importance of teacher quality and the role teachers play in the education
process.
“Teachers and principals are just like other professions; they require constant upgrading in the form of professional development
training. We are confident that the program can raise the quality of teachers and educators in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, spe-
cifically in Kayuagung but also in South Sumatra, so that teachers in that area do not fall behind in terms of their professionalism
as compared to their counterparts in other Indonesian regions,” Ishak Mekki, Regent of OKI, said.
This cooperation included SF Teacher Institute’s vital role in conducting the Principal and Teacher Improvement Program. The
multifaceted capacity development program was initiated with the Adopt a Teacher Program (ATP) involving 90 Teachers and Prin-
cipals. ATP is commencing its final stage in the end of April 2009. The training received positive feedback from the participants,
as the attendance rates hit a high 90% on average.
Upon the completion of ATP the program will continue with Teacher and Educators Training (TETRA) which will have the capacity
,
to accommodate more school leaders. At present, SFTI is working intensively with Sampoerna Agro and the Education Office of
OKI to prepare for TETRA’s implementation.

Commenting on this noteworthy endeavor, Hammarliandi Maila, A&P Manager of Fashion Division at PT MAP said: “Currently
there are more than 13 million children between the age of 7 and 18 years who do not go to school due to poverty. It is for this
reason that MAP is holding this Charity Bazaar.”

Presidents of SF Scholars Clubs posing with Ron Perkinson (SF President) and Rini Tampi (SF Director of Scholarship and Student Loan)
SF’s Scholarship Program provides access to quality education for financially disadvantaged students who show academic poten-
tial and leadership abilities. SF scholars are also provided with rigorous and diverse support infrastructure. The counseling pro-
gram, for example, provides assistance for improving communication skills, cultural sensitivity and career planning. The program
also awards internship opportunities to build valuable work experience and career development skills to ensure scholars receive
the best possible start in their careers.
The scholars are grouped according to their area of origin called the Sampoerna Foundation Scholars Club (SFSC) and each group
is led by a president. The president meeting is held every year by SF’s scholarship department.
This quarter, the meeting was held on the 10th of February 2009 in SF Teacher Institute – Sampoerna Strategic Square. The former
and current presidents from each SFSC (Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Aceh) gathered to discuss their
activities conducted in 2008 and their activity plans for 2009. Each president had the chance present their work and receive com-
ments and suggestions from their fellow peers and SF Staff.
Ron Perkinson, the President of Sampoerna Foundation gave the opening remarks. In his remark, he emphasized that youths are
very effective change agents. Therefore, scholars are expected to use their knowledge and skills gained from their studies to create
positive changes in their surrounding societies.
Mr. Iben Yuzenho Ismarson, SF alumnus in his sharing session, elaborated the importance of social activities and how SF Scholars
and Alumni can work together in the near future.
It is our hope that our scholars continue to develop their capacity as young leaders who will benefit society.

SF Scholars Learn about Media
at Metro TV
SF Scholars posing with Andy Noya of Metro TV
Six scholars from SFSC Jakarta accompanied by SF Marketing Communication team paid a visit to Metro TV to observe how news
is produced and broadcasted. Held as a part of SF’s regular SF Scholar Club’s presidential gathering, the objective of this particu-
lar visit is to broaden their knowledge of the media world and to further give them the chance to see some of the theories they
learn in school are being put into practice.
The visit started at around 03:00 PM when SF scholars were introduced to Metro TV’s News Team. This introduction was followed
by a Q&A session. Besides the tour around Metro TV facility, the scholars got the opportunity to see the casting of one of the most
famous talk shows in Indonesia called Kick Andy, hosted by the well-known Andy Noya. The theme of the talk show program was
“Unbeaten Spirit” where guests with physical or intelligence limitations shared about resilience, courage and success amidst all
difficulties .
“I was amazed to see Rama (one of the guests in The Kick Andy Show), a blind man who managed to compose a song for an
online game, created a nice blog, and who operates computer just like a normal person does. I was encouraged by his fiery spirit
for life. What he has done is so inspiring. Those guests who were invited to Kick Andy Show surely have unbeaten spirits,” claimed
Tuti Arsyida, one the scholars.
Thanks to SF Marketing Communication Department for this wonderful and rare opportunity!
