SMAN 12 Makassar Joins SF-USP

An MoU between Sampoerna Foundation and the local government of Makassar was signed to confirm the selection of SMAN 12 Makassar as the first school from East Indonesia to undergo school quality improvement program under SF-USP. The memorandum, signed by Elan Merdy, Chief Operating Officer of Sampoerna Foundation and Mayor of Makassar, Drs. Iswan Abdul Latif, at the Mayor’s Office in Makasar on National Education Day (05/02) was to solidify this cooperative effort.

Sampoerna Foundation will provide guidance towards improving the quality of SMAN 12 through training of its principal and teachers, upgrading of the curriculum, expansion of its library and laboratory, and the provision of native speakers for English classes, among other things, while the regional administration will handle the physical repair and renovation of the school building/facilities.

The program, a collaborative project among Sampoerna Foundation, Makassar Municipal Education Agency, and Makassar Local Administration, is expected to bring SMAN 12 to become a model school for the Eastern region of Indonesia in the next three years.
