Empowering teachers in Indonesia with Microsoft

Zuzanna Quality Education

On October 7, the Indonesian Teachers Association of the Republic of Indonesia (PGRI) and Microsoft launched the Gurulympics 2020 Program at the graduation ceremony of the Innovative Teacher Training of Trainers (TOT) program.  The event was also celebrating the organization’s 75th anniversary as well as National Teachers Day. It was conducted fully virtually.“Gurulympics 2020 is a continuation of the TOT program that aims to encourage the spirit of learning and innovation for teachers through the use of technology that is expected to improve the skills of teachers and improve the overall quality of education in Indonesia” explains Microsoft. The TOT program is a joint initiative between Microsoft and PGRI that is aimed towards upskilling the teaching community.  The program began in June 2020 and was initially attended by 6,985 teachers, which has now expanded to more than 100,000 teachers ranging from kindergarten to higher education from 34  provinces as well as Overseas Indonesian Schools in 13 countries.“Through the TOT Program I not only learned about Microsoft 365 applications but also had the opportunity to meet virtually with other teachers where we helped each other exchange teaching experiences, tips and other ideas by utilizing Microsoft technology,”  said Mr. Kamaludding, a junior high school teacher in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. “This was a valuable and rewarding experience not only for me but also for my students. The classes I teach have become more interactive even though they’re virtually implemented, and the tasks I provide can be easily monitored thanks to the help of Microsoft technology.”
