School Libraries for Bali
Most Indonesian primary schools closed for two years in 2020, and many children in early grade classes received only a bare minimum of education during their formative years of learning to read.
Most Indonesian primary schools closed for two years in 2020, and many children in early grade classes received only a bare minimum of education during their formative years of learning to read.
Recent surveys taken by the Ministry of Education and partners in provinces across the archipelago of Indonesia reveal many children didn’t get adequate teaching in the foundational skills of literacy entering class 2 and even class 3. This is true In the remote areas of Bali, where the learning loss is even more severe.
We are responding to this situation by launching an initiative to build child-friendly school libraries in these areas of need. Libraries must be developed to become children’s favorite places to enjoy books and develop reading habits.
