First good news of 2023! The relentless efforts of the 8elements team who continue their business visits to a number of regions in Indonesia, for introducing Bibalala, are now showing another good prospect!

 

Following to the previous visits and intense coordination with the ranks of the Central Lombok Regency Government Education Office, the 8elements team complied with the request of the Head of Central Lombok District Education Office, Mr. H. Lalu Idham Khalid M.Pd., for delivering a presentation on technical matters regarding to the implementation of Bibalala towards the school principals and teachers from every sub-district in Central Lombok.

 

Last Thursday (01/12), at Praya 1 Public Middle School, the presentation session went well and was attended by approximately 95 representatives of the School Principal Working Conference (MKKS) and the School Literacy Club (KLS) in Central Lombok Regency.

 

In her presentation, Dian Soraya, the New Business Sales and Marketing Manager at PT 8 Elements, outlined technical matters related to the Bibalala application. Including the use of the dashboard feature (BAMS) for educators and the Education Office from the Central Lombok Regency Government, as a function to monitor the child education development through Bibalala.

"We are (PT 8 Elements - red) committing ourselves for not just offering Bibalala as a learning application that is effective and fun for children, but we also provide a monitoring feature, namely the Bibalala Account Management System (BAMS - red) which will later function to facilitate distribution while monitoring the progress of the students," said Dian Soraya in her presentation.

 

"We will be here as a partner of the teacher and the school," she explained again before ending the presentation, to convince the schools that they will uphold their responsibilities even after Bibalala has been accepted as an English learning application for their students.

 

The presentation itself seems to have positive responses from all MKKS and LKS representatives who attended the presentation. In fact, some of them showed high enthusiasm to immediately use the Bibalala application in their schools.

 

Likewise, the Central Lombok Regency Government Education Office which also showed a feeling of confidence with Bibalala through signing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) regarding the agreement contract for the procurement of Bibalala as the English language learning application in Central Lombok Regency.

The MOU was signed by Bernardus Riwang, as General Manager at PT 8 Elements, and H. Lalu Idham Khalid M.Pd., Head of the Central Lombok Regency Government Education Office. Also present were Dian Soraya (New Business Sales & Marketing Manager), Syafrudin (Central Lombok District Education Office Curriculum Head), and school representatives from SMPN 1 Praya.

 

"We (Central Lombok Regency Government - red) realize that in the current digitalization era, local governments must begin to open themselves up to the use of mobile-based applications to support various sectors, especially the education sector," said H. Lalu Idham Khalid M.Pd., Central Lombok District Government Head of Education.

 

"Moreover, our area is now in the international spotlight, therefore students in Central Lombok must be able to prepare themselves with good foreign languages," he said again. This is of course related to Mandalika tourism assets which are increasingly being looked at by international tourists.

 

This also means that Central Lombok Regency is the second region that has approved the use of the Bibalala application as a means of teaching English for school children aged 3-11 years, after the MoU signing by Batang Regency last month. Hopefully in the near future more regions in Indonesia will participate in ensuring the nation's future with intelligent next generations!
