Innovation for Indonesia\u2019s School Children (INOVASI), a program partnership between the governments of Australia and Indonesia, first signed a partnership with prominent Islamic association Ma\u2019arif NU in late 2018. This agreement represents an exciting opportunity to broaden and sustain activities that strengthen educational quality and improve student learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy \u2013 particularly in the early grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2019, Ma\u2019arif NU received grant funding support from INOVASI to implement a range of education pilots in East Java. Grant activities were launched on May 25, 2019 in Surabaya, East Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its grant pilots, Ma\u2019arif NU is implementing ways to improve early grade literacy and numeracy outcomes in 30 partner Islamic schools (madrasah) across Sidoarjo, Pasuruan and Sumenep districts. Working with students, teachers, principals and school committees, the pilots seek to improve a range of issues, including how teachers understand literacy and numeracy learning in the early grades, their skills in managing the classroom, and student literacy learning outcomes. The pilot is also finding ways to build a stronger reading culture in target districts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a year of implementation, there have been positive results and emerging progress in Ma\u2019arif NU partner schools across the three districts. Numerous promising practices have been captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe partnership between INOVASI and Ma\u2019arif NU is a very important effort to improve the quality of learning in Indonesia,\u201d said Kyai Zaenal Arifin Junaedi, Head of Maarif NU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership between INOVASI and Ma\u2019arif NU is a great opportunity to improve the quality of Islamic education in East Java, especially in Ma\u2019arif NU schools. After a year of implementation, we have begun to see positive results and progress in partner Ma\u2019arif NU madrasah, across all three districts. Several promising education practices have been developed, which we have been fortunate to observe during this monitoring visit,\u201d said Michelle Lowe, Counsellor for Human Development from the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
