PT 8 Elements has again signed an MoU in providing English learning media to new areas in Indonesia. After socializing and signing the Bibalala MoU with the Central Lombok Regency Government, we also had the opportunity to meet with the Head of the Mataram City Education Office. We were scheduled to present Bibalala in front of school representatives from elementary and junior high schools.
We succeeded in convincing all meeting participants that Bibalala is the best solution needed by every school and especially for school students directly to learn English from an early age as a provision for their future. Moreover, Bibalala is available with a Cambridge-based curriculum which is believed to be effective by the international community, only at a very affordable price for the wider community.
"This (Bibalala - red) is something we need in the digitalization era and for Mataram residents, especially children and youth, must be ready to work in any position when they grow up. Hopefully, with good English, they can help build Mataram into a city a tourist destination that is friendly to tourists and visitors," said Yusuf, as the Head of the Mataram City Education Office.
The moment of signing the Bibalala MoU took place at Hotel Santika, Thursday (16/02), between Bernardus Riwang, as General Manager of PT 8 Elements; with Mataram City Government representatives, Yusuf, S.Pd., as the Head of the Education Office, along with six KKKS representatives from 6 sub-districts in Mataram City.
"We (PT 8 Elements - red) really believe Bibalala can be an important asset for school-age children in Mataram City when they grow up, because learning English will greatly support their careers in any field in the future. Especially with the potential Most of the tourism is from Mataram, or Lombok in general, so in the future there will be good prospects for regional progress," said Bernard, adding with a sense of optimism.
Regarding the procurement itself, the Mataram City Education Office wants Bibalala to be distributed free of charge to elementary school students in grades 4 to 6. Then it will gradually be given to a group of superior students from each junior high school who receive an award, for example through the scholarship program or based on an assessment. each school for outstanding students.
It is our hope that after the cooperation agreement with the Central Lombok Regency Government Education Office and now the Mataram City Government, more regions in West Nusa Tenggara Province will follow soon regarding the procurement of English language learning media for early childhood as their provision of knowledge in the future.
