Karangasem – The Student Organization Capacity Building Program Team (PPK Ormawa) of the Student Association of the Department of Elementary Education (HMJ Pendas) of the Faculty of Education (FIP) Undiksha, continues to intensify the development of Tianyar Village towards Smart Village. Not only by conducting various trainings, the team fostered by the Vice Dean for General Affairs and Finance, Dr. I Wayan Widiana, S.Pd., M.Pd., now also initiated the DOREMI Literacy Corner “Do Engsap Rame-rame Melajah Dini (Do not forget to study together here)” which is centered on 4 Banjars, namely : SDN 8 Tianyar (parent and filial), Widya Sari Foundation, Lascarya Paramaseva Foundation, and Dinda Satya Varoinocona Foundation, on Sunday (04/09/2022) local time.
Being confirmed, the team leader Made Nirmala Karunika Sari from the PGSD Study Program explained that based on the information collected, it was recorded that 47% of the Tianyar people only studied up to the elementary school (SD) level. Departing from these problems, she and the team built a literacy corner with the aim of deepening knowledge and increasing the literacy of students, especially in elementary schools.
“We see the lack of reading facilities in elementary schools, therefore we created this reading corner, in the hope of increasing their enthusiasm for learning,” she said. For information,Nirmala said that beside creating a literacy corner, the steps taken to support the development of smart villages, were to promote English-language training, together with foreign volunteers which were carried out regularly, on Monday-Wednesday, at the Widya Sari Foundation. Furthermore, the student who was born in 2002 hopes that through this work program, the younger generation can get to know the basics of English. (hms Dewa Nida)
