There is not a big number of teachers who are really devoted to their work.Īnd, on top of it, there are up to 35-40 kids in a classroom. The salary in those areas can get as low as 50 dollars per month, so, of course, teachers are not motivated to perform perfectly at school. Indonesia is a developing country and the government does not really invest in education, so the occupation of a teacher is very underpaid, especially in rural areas. Kids do go to school and they like it, but they do not learn much. Indonesia scores amongst the worst in Asia at PISA tests. They memorise notes for the tests, so education here is very tests-oriented, unfortunately. Typically, a teacher stands in front of the blackboard and speaks to the students who copy his words into their notebooks. Can you describe a little bit more about how kids learn at local schools? What is the education system like? indonesia's struggling education systemįrom what I know, environmental education does not exist as such in Indonesian schools. I believe investment in education is the most impactful because it will last for years. We try to make kids curious about nature and we hope they will fall in love with it. People are scared of the unknown, and because Indonesian kids and the general population do not know much about nature, they are scared of it. There is also not much public transportation so it is not easy for them to go. It is not common to spend free time walking outside or climbing mountains here. There are many reasons why they do not even observe it. Indonesia has one of the most biodiverse ecosystems, both marine and terrestrial, in the world. They did not know how to protect it, how to appreciate it. That was the moment when I realised that I wanted to do something about environmental education because I saw local kids surrounded by beautiful nature but they did not know much about it. We got stuck in a small village two hours from the main road and spent more than one week with the local villagers there. I went for a surf trip with my friends to Sumba island, which is two islands east from Bali. Petr Hindrich: The beginning was spontaneous. The world's most biodiverse ecosystems are left unprotectedįairPlanet: How did the whole project start? Nowadays, it prepares curriculums for schools across Indonesia. The Czech surfer has been living in Bali since 2008, and apart from surfing he has also been looking for ways to enhance Indonesians’ connection to their habitat, which is one of the most biodiverse environments in the world.įounded six years ago, Hindrich’s organisation,, originally focused on establishing libraries that contained environmental books. That is why we created our first program dedicated to the ‘zero waste’ concept," Petr Hindrich explained in an interview for FairPlanet.
