Project Overview
The
Governments of Australia and Indonesia are partnering through INOVASI,
an education program which aims to find out how to improve literacy and
numeracy for Indonesia’s students. Funded by the Australian Government
in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture
(MoEC), INOVASI is a subnational education program with a budget of AUD
49 million, which started in January 2016 and will run until 2019. It
focuses on understanding and tackling learning challenges, particularly
those related to literacy and numeracy skills, at the heart of the
education system— in the classroom and the school (including madrasah).
Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) is INOVASI’s first partner province that began
implementation in early 2017. Three more partner provinces (NTT – Sumba
Island, East Java and North Kalimantan) have begun implementation in
mid-2017.
INOVASI
will use a new approach to focus on what works in classrooms and
schools. It will work with teachers, principals and local officials to
identify what problems need to be solved to help students learn better
and find out the best way to solve these problems by jointly piloting
either (i) local solutions or (ii) practices successfully trialled
elsewhere which are adapted to the local context. INOVASI will evaluate
these pilots to see which are successful in improving student literacy
and numeracy. The pilot activities will focus on student learning and
classroom teaching. The three areas of focus are: 1) Strengthening the
quality of teaching and learning in the classroom; 2) Improving the
support provided to teachers so they can teach better; and 3) Enabling
all children in the classroom, particularly girls and children with
disabilities, to reach their potential in learning
INOVASI is managed by Palladium on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
