SD Kepatihan I Banyuwangi
Wartel supports SBM
The School Based Management (SBM) program which is being rolled out in most schools, especially those supported by MBE-RTI, does not only require that there is transparency and accountability in delivering education.
It also encourages schools to be creative in fund raising. SD Kepatihan I Banyuwangi is an example of a school which is trying to raise extra funding by running a telephone booth (wartel).

The acting school principal of SD Kepatihan I, Samsul, S.Ag, says that he opened the business with two aims. First, the telephone facilities provide a service making it easier for students and parents to communicate, especially if something important comes up which the principal needs to tell the parents.
Secondly, the facilities make an important contribution to school income and can be used to support the school's progress.
At the moment, Samsul explained, the profit which is paid into the school accounts is Rp.400,000 per month, although currently they are still having to pay monthly instalments on the loan they took out to install the telephone booth.
That is a portrait of a school which is creative in fund raising. Are there other schools who would like to do the same?

The practical teaching in schools was marked by the way students were organised to support cooperative learning, with children sitting in groups or a U-shaped formation. In picture (1) above the children are working together to draw a map of South America.
This lesson was linked to the children's general knowledge about the countries in America such as the football stars from Brazil (Ronaldo) and Argentina (Maradonna), as well the American involvement in Iraq.
In picture (2) the children are reading, retelling and commenting on a report in the newspaper about flooding which occurred in Pasuruan, the neighbouring district to Probolinggo.
