On quality education<\/p>\n
I read with interest Mochtar Buchori's article on Quality
\nSchools in The Jakarta Post of April 19, 1995 and was pleased
\nthat the British International School was considered of this
\nstanding. We value quality at all times and are continually
\nstriving to make our provision more responsive to the needs of
\nparents and pupils and more relevant to the challenges to be
\nfaced by our students in the technological world which awaits
\nthem.<\/p>\n
As a Head Teacher with many years experience of the State
\nEducation system in Scotland, I support Mr Buchori's stance that
\n'quality education' should not and need not be the sole domain of
\nthe private school nor the entitlement of the rich. Every country
\nmust invest in its young people -- a 'quality education' is one
\nof the greatest gifts one can receive. I would agree again with
\nMr Buchori when he assesses the relevant importance of
\neducational aids, facilities and teachers in this process.
\nAlthough all are important, the latter is unquestionably the key
\nto success. 'Quality teachers' throughout the world are capable
\nof inspiring pupils despite environments lacking in many of the
\nresources which teachers in my current school and schools like
\nit, would take for granted.<\/p>\n
The British International School is, and always has been, keen
\nto explore ways of contributing to the local Indonesian
\ncommunity. If Mr Buchori would care to contact me I would be very
\nhappy to consider ways in which the expertise and facilities
\navailable at the British International School could be used to
\nassist him in his vital mission, namely the training of
\nIndonesia's future teachers.<\/p>\n
