Student Teach Street Children
Students Teach Street Children
From the Jakarta post
reported about education in Indonesia. Every
child has the right to study. Without exception street children have the right
to study. Lack of many is the central
problem. Almost street children have effort to
get study more, but situation is not supported. ‘Sekolah Bisa’ is academic
assistance for students in kindergarten, first grade to fourth grade and those
enrolled in special program to help
students who have had to drop out of
school to catch up in their
studies. ‘Sekolah Bisa’ helps
children to get education. The reasons why I like ‘Sekolah Bisa’ is that it is free,
helps them to get birth
certificates, and
get jobs.
‘Sekolah Bisa’ requires no payment.
‘Sekolah Bisa’ is led
by Rebecca, Diego, and Adeen from the British International School. It helps prepare students to
one day enter the work force. ‘Sekolah Bisa’ was bulit for children who cannot
study. So, ‘Sekolah Bisa’ is
the solution for their problem because it
requires no fees.
The next
reason is ‘Sekolah Bisa’ helps
street children to get birth certificates. According to the central statistics
agency (BPS),
more than 40% Indonesian children don’t
have birth certificates. Birth certificates is a legal document that becomes the stumbling block for these children and
their futures.
Without certificates, these children are not eligible for social services such as free public
education.
The last reason is it helps them to get work and a better future.
‘Sekolah Bisa’ is
committed to ensuring the children may enter the work force. It focuses on seven core pillars. One of them is health program.
For the health group, ‘Sekolah Bisa’s services extendbeyond administering
immunizations and monitoring nutrition.
But also coordinate with the local health centers to help parents receive medical treatment.
‘Sekolah Bisa’ is acedemic assistance
for students to find
work and build a better future.
‘Sekolah Bisa’ not only focuses on giving acedemic instruction, but also on
instilling moral values and helping the community’s livelihood.
