SMA Pelita Fajar Bandung
SMA Pelita Fajar Bandung is one of the schools selected to participate in the JISRA 21st Century Teacher program in 2023. Teachers and students are encouraged to promote and implement tolerance, nonviolence, and bullying-free environments in the school.
Why Does SMA Pelita Fajar Bandung Implement the JISRA - 21st Century Teacher Program?
In 2022, Mrs. Sri, a religious education teacher at SMA Pelita Fajar, participated in the 21st-century Teacher program. This program provided training on values that could be implemented to address bullying, intolerance, and violence in schools. Mrs. Sri actively participated in the program and successfully became a facilitator for the next 21st-century Teacher program in 2023.
Given that the school has most students from minority religions, the principal of SMA Pelita Fajar Bandung, Mrs. Lannie, attended the JISRA - 21st Century Teacher program orientation in 2023. She aimed to implement the values she had learned in school. With Mrs. Lannie's adept leadership throughout each program stage, SMA Pelita Fajar became a partner school with PeaceGen in the JISRA - 21st Century Teacher program.
Therefore, with the high dedication of Mrs. Sri as a teacher and Mrs. Lannie as the principal, SMA Pelita Fajar Bandung was selected to participate in the JISRA - 21st Century Teacher program in 2023 to implement values of tolerance, nonviolence, and a bullying-free environment in the school.
