All the 44 partner districts had the opportunity to make presentations on the progress they have made and to plan the 2011 program for their districts.

A DBE3 NATIONAL Review and Planning Meeting was held at the JW Marriott Hotel, Surabaya from 26 to 27 January 2010. All the DBE3 partner districts and provinces renewed their commitment to improving the quality of education in their regions by integrating the implementation of the DBE3 program into their district programs so that the programs become institutionalized and have an impact on all their junior secondary schools (SMP and MTs). Representatives from districts in each province made presentations of progress made in implementing their 2010 plans and explained their plans for 2011.
Some districts have formed a District Education Quality Development Team, one of whose tasks is to assure the success of the DBE3 program. Some District Heads have issued decrees for all schools to implement Active and Contextual Learning. Districts also reported that the District Head or the Head of the Religious Affairs Offices have issued decrees for their district facilitators (DF) so they are formally recognized and funded by local government and have allocated financial support from the local budget for replication. The full stories can be found on pages 2, 3 and 4.

Deputy Governor of East Java: Continue DBE3!!!
|
The Deputy Governor of East Java, Syaifullah Yusuf, speaking at the DBE3 Review and Planning Meeting in Surabaya.
|
THE IMPLEMENTATION of the DBE3 program is being treated seriously by the Deputy Governor of East Java, Syaifullah Yusuf. He said the program is very appropriate because it focuses on quality improvement in junior secondary schools (SMP and MTs).
"Students at SMP and MTs are in the middle of their adolescence and it is very important that their educational is delivered such that they are ready to face the future," said the Deputy Governor in the presence of around 350 participants from District Development Agencies, Local Parliaments, Education Offices, Religious Affairs Offices, USAID and DBE3 staff.
Previously the Deputy Governor, whose nickname is Gus Ipul, said that he had witnessed first-hand the changes that have taken place in schools, when he attended an exhibition of DBE3 partner schools in Kediri. He was impressed with progress made.
Alluding to the approaching end of the DBE3 program, he hopes DBE3 can be continued. Development needs to continuous and sustainable. The President has two periods of office. So DBE3 should have not just one period but should be continued, " joked Gus Ipul to the applause of the participants.

Implementing Innovations on a Regular Basis
YOU can read inside about a number of schools that are implementing innovative learning regularly in their classes. Inside you can see pictures of discussions and practical work taking place and students expressing their own thoughts and opinions.
A crucial factor in the sustainability of this innovation is the encouragement and commitment of the school principal. This is happening in MTsN2 Mejobo, Kudus, Central Java (photo top right) which only joined DBE3 a year ago and where changes are being implemented in all classes and all subjects. SMPN2 Grobogan, (photo below right) is not a DBE3 partner school but has financed its own BTL training and is applying it equally in all classes. Read more on
