School Development Programs team at Sampoerna
Foundation has for the past two years developed a multi purpose tool to be used
in partner schools. Multi purpose as we know it means able to do many tasks for
different results, solving various problems and coming up with many different
outcomes. The tool is known as the School Quality Indicators (SQI). SQI
contains many aspects of education in a school, each represented with an
indicator which functions as determinant and descriptor of areas of
improvement, current standings and/or achievement.
SQI has been designed and approved by education practitioners and experts. SQI has also been introduced to principals of partner schools, and it was agreed that SQI could and ought to be used in the schools because of its usefulness. All principals have been made aware that SQI is the tool that needs to be ‘placed on their office tables’ as a development mapping reference, and as an assessment tool. With SQI, principals and their school management teams are hopefully able to utilize it fully to assist them when developing the school.
It has come the time to start implementing SQI, which is why School Quality Indicators is going to be one of the topics of presentation and workshop being conducted in the Principal Mentoring VI in Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatera this coming 25th and 26th of February 2009. School principals will be involved in the discussion that is going to be about understanding SQI, particularly on the usage of SQI as an assessment tool. Principals will be explained with the best implementation way, the way it was intended to be, and a simulation will be conducted for the principals to understand the entire concept even more. Let’s all take SQI to the next step!! |

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
