Lecturer of the Informatics Study Program representing Udayana University as an Expert Trainer / Facilitator for Sekolah Penggerak

Sekolah Penggerak is a school that focuses on developing student learning outcomes holistically by realizing the Pancasila Student Profile which includes competence and character starting with superior human resources (principals and teachers). This driving school program accelerates schools that are committed to implementing learning with a new paradigm. The program is carried out in stages and is integrated with the ecosystem until all schools in Indonesia become the Driving School Program. There are five interventions carried out by the driving school programs, including consultative and asymmetric assistance, strengthening human resources in schools, learning with a new paradigm, data-based planning, and digitizing schools.
