ANNUAL REPORT Harnessing the Transformative Power of Education 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Harnessing the Transformative Power of Education to Realize People’s Full Potential and to Improve Lives Tanoto Foundation endeavors to create impact in the areas of Learning Environments, Future Leaders and Medical Research and Sciences, covering the full lifecycle of human development and promoting lifelong learning. We apply our interventions in the early years (0-6 years old), for which we build Learning Environments by enhancing parenting and caregiving skills, developing programs to nurture school-ready children, as well as advancing quality of basic education for school-aged children (7-16 years old). Through scholarships, experiential learning and partnerships, we empower adolescents and young adults (17-22 years old) with core and added competencies to realize their potential as Future Leaders. Because health is an important aspect – alongside quality education – in one’s journey to realizing one’s potential and living a dignified life, we seek to improve the healthspan of communities through our continuous support of Medical Research & Sciences.

RGE Chairman, Sukanto Tanoto, addresses visiting Wharton students Addressing the students in Singapore on May 25 as keynote speaker, RGE's Founder and Chairman Sukanto Tanoto spoke about how he scaled and diversified his businesses, which now occupy strategic points in the resource-based manufacturing value chain. With almost 50 years of successful entrepreneur experience under his belt, Mr Tanoto shared candidly about his journey as an entrepreneur, including how he survived the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s, and sought to diversify his business after the crisis. He cited building diverse teams with multiple skill sets, focusing on technology and innovation, and creating shared value and the "3C" values, as success factors that underpin each of RGE's business groups. "We continue to embrace the 3Cs in everything we do: Good for Community, Good for Country, Good for Company. If we do what is good for the community and country, the company will benefit," said Mr Tanoto. The 3Cs are evident in his companies' work, which includes creating direct and indirect employment, partnering and empowering smallholders, developing the communities and infrastructure in its areas of operations, and implementing state-of-the art technologies for sustainability and competitive advantage.

  • Perceptions of Certified EFL Teachers Pertaining to Teacher Certification Program in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
    Journal of Educational Sciences. Vol. 2, No. 1, 2018, 1-18 1 Perceptions of Certified EFL Teachers Pertaining to Teacher Certification Program in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia Anshari Syafar Universitas Tadulako, Palu, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP). The program has conceivably raised the status of the teachers in social and economic lives. However, the impact of the program on the improvement of overall teacher‘s quality—teaching performance as mandated by Teacher and Lecturer Law remains questionable, and the big question is what and how teachers perceive and act in response to the objective of the program. The program aims not only to increase the teachers‘ salary, but also to improve the quality of their teaching performance based on the teacher standard competence, that is pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competences. Therefore, the study explore and describe certified EFL teachers‘ perceptions concerning benefits of the program on thier social and economic lives, improvement and quality of their teaching practices; perceptions on the ways management ran the program; and expectations for better services of the TCP management. Keywords: perception, teacher certification program, certified EFL teachers, TCP management 1 Introduction Recently, the state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP).
