Low levels of basic skills affect the entire education system and the wider economy, so improving literacy is a key step to investing in the province\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program was launched in October 2021 with an event for head-teachers and administrators followed by 4 days of intensive, hands-on training for teachers. Covid-19 restrictions meant that most of the training was delivered by a local YTA team, with contributions from the Jakarta-based team via Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Teacher Testimony<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training was a great success, with teachers commenting on how engaging and active it was, and on the care shown by the YTA team. You can watch a brief video with a teacher testimony here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_K3pSge_Wi8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A teacher using SSM in their classroom shared this with their mentor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPraise God, this is a child who I teach who couldn&#8217;t write at all. Since we&#8217;ve had lessons that are fun he works hard and is making good progress with his writing.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current program runs until December 2021, but the government will extend it into 2022 if funding is available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to learn more about the work of Yayasan Tunas Aksara
