INOVASI has been working in Indonesia since 2016 and was designed to improve the quality of primary education, particularly in the areas of literacy, numeracy and inclusion. INOVASI works in four provinces, namely East Java, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, and North Kalimantan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, INOVASI collaborated with national and sub-national governments, universities, and communities to promote learning recovery.
The INOVASI program has successfully strengthened the capacity of 53,605 teachers, principals, supervisors, and local facilitators. INOVASI has also benefited 553,048 early-grade students in 7,322 primary schools and madrasahs in Indonesia. Restoring learning and improving long-term education quality requires fundamental changes to the education ecosystem. INOVASI supports the Government of Indonesia in carrying out an education transformation that engages a wide range of actors to accelerate improved student learning outcomes. (WHY)
