Program Results

Overall, we received positive feedback on the Islamic Curriculum Development (IDC) program from participants, as evidenced by the following quote: 

"I am very grateful to be able to attend this training. As a teacher, I realize that I have only been teaching without much thought. Just climbing the peak, but with an understanding of the 21st Century Report, how important it is to measure and gain new insights with games and others. After this, I will implement it."

In addition to participant feedback, we also surveyed the impact of the Curriculum Development (IDC) program. The results showed that 66.7% of participants had a good understanding of the 21st-century module through simple examples and practices in the school environment, and 20.8% of participants understood how to correlate religious values with the challenges of the 21st century.
