More Schools Want Replication Training

THE RESULTS of DBE3 programs have been recognized by DBE3 partner schools. Their students now are more active in learning and their work is displayed in their classrooms as an appreciation of their hard work. Many non-partner schools have been asking to replicate the DBE3 program. With their own budget, these schools have con-ducted DBE3 training and are implementing active learning. News of the success of non-partner schools in making significant changes is the one of the main topics in both the main and provincial sections of this edition of the newsletter.

DURING the BTL4 training, there was a special session for the principals. The session was intended to help principals to play a greater role in supporting active learning, especially by allocating budgets. A variety of support needs to be given to ensure that active learning is well implemented in schools. The supports includes meeting subject teachers' needs, support for extra curricular activities and providing staffing.

" The training has given me a real idea of how learning should take place in the classroom," said Drs. Zulkifli, principal of SMPN 1 Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatera, who was impressed by the training which encouraged all the participants to be active. " We are ready to support schools' needs to ensure the success of active learning," commented Drs. Kasniady, M.Pd, Head of Secondary Education in Soppeng district, South Sulawesi, who participated in the training in Palopo.
