Yogyakarta, December 22, 2013. Three state schools visited SMAN 1 Yogyakarta today. SMA Negeri 11 Surabaya, SMA Negeri 1 Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, and SMA Kertasari Bandung are among the schools. Today, a group of sixty teachers from SMA Negeri 11 Surabaya began the group's visit agenda.

"Thank God, with the aim of learning, we present the full team today," he went on to say.

 

"The purpose of our friendship here is to know more information about the SMA 1 Teladan Yogyakarta system along with the achievements we have heard about, besides, we get a recommendation from the Head of SMAN 4 Yogyakarta to visit SMAN 1 Yogyakarta." said Mr. Kun Andrasto, The Principal of SMA Negeri 1 Mataram NTB. He was in the meeting along with a team of instructors, the Alumni Chair, and the Head of the Mataram Service Branch.

SMA Negeri 1 Kertasari Bandung was there along with the deputy principals to express their appreciation to SMAN 1 Teladan for its achievements so far, "We feel insecure and want to do imitative study so that we can adopt it at our school," said the Head of SMAN 1 Kertasari, Mr. Ato Radianto, S. Pd, M.M.

"We appreciate your trust in making our school a destination for an imitative study visit." We currently have input policy similarities. "Likewise, with your policies at your respective schools, of course the policies that apply at your respective schools are the best, let's just be grateful." remarked Mr. Jumadi in response to the objective of Mr. Radianto’s visit. The sense of “handarbeni” that is realized at SMA 1 Teladan via the contributions and collaboration of the school committee, students, alumni, and stakeholders is essential for the seamless implementation of school activities that have an impact on the quality of students and graduates.

Mrs. Sri Lestari, M.Pd, Si, Deputy Head of Curriculum, continued the course by explaining the management system of SMAN 1 Yogyakarta. "School equality is currently in the PPDB policy, so there is a strategy that we are trying to ensure that graduates of SMAN 1 continue to soar," She said in the middle of her presentation. "We create a program, which is then presented to the school boards and parents for feedback, and if it is approved, we commit to joint contribution for the students’ success."

The visitors were quite passionate during the discussion session, asking questions and sharing experiences and policies from each of their institutions.

"How can we ensure that the implementation of the independent curriculum does not go over budget while students remain freely working on their project  ?" said Mr. Ato.

At our school's exhibition project , the students were guided  to use available resources and the potential around them; in reality, utilizing garbage was a cost-effective approach. Mrs. Sri Lestari responded.

Even though there are always challenges, Teladan High School doesn't seem to be that affected by them, praised the Head of Alumni of SMAN 1 Mataram who took part in the visit. Today's imitative study agenda was greatly utilized by the visiting guests to listen and share policy knowledge in their respective schools. (Rbn)
