Kebasen Sub-district: Progress on all Fronts
From visits to the target schools in Kebasen sub-district it is clear that all the schools are showing signs of development. The Branch Head of the Education Office, Bpk Edy Rahardjo has played a significant role in this development. He accompanied us during the visits to the schools and knows well the strengths and weaknesses of each school.

This is because he often visits the schools himself! Further-more he has asked to the MBE schools to make displays of students' work at his branch office.
This is a example of good management practice! Below there are number of examples of good practice at schools in Kebasen.
At all schools students' work was displayed and most of it was the results of their own creativity. The work included stories written by the children, maths and science problem solving and reports of science experiments - all of it showing that PAKEM is being applied well. The example on the right is from SDN Kalisasak 2..
SDN Kebasan 1 a number of important things are evident. Students in grade 1 have the ability to express their thoughts in writing. Students are also capable of operating a computer to write a story and a report.
On the left, Eka is showing the work he has written on the computer. The writing was a report of a interview at the community health center. The students in grade 6 made up their own questions, conducted their own interviews and made reports by themselves! This is really good PAKEM!! Below left, Anita, a student in grade 1 is showing some of her writing.
Evidence of improved school management and the increased role of community are everywhere. At MI Ma'arif NU they have formed class parents' groups that have made cupboards and display boards for every classroom (photo below), and bought plastic folders for every student to store their portfolios - this portfolio is a collection of the students' work and a record of their personal development.
At SMP 3 Kebasen they are building a new entrance road to the school. This is being done by the school committee (picture in right). At most schools the RAPBS (school budget) is on display (example from SD Sawangan).
