The heads of the Bogor and Depok Education Offices were also present to provide support to the principals who were present. He invited teachers to be good role models for their students. However, knowledge alone is needed to equip them. But more important than knowledge is character.
“Set a good example to our children because knowledge alone is not enough to equip them. However, there is something more important than knowledge: character. So, to be an example, we must be teachers willing to continue learning about change. Teachers who master learning leadership,” he said.

POP 2022 made a good impression on the principal. There were significant changes to the teaching class. Some of the visible ones include classes decorated with student works displayed on the walls and cabinets of the classroom.
In addition, each class already has a creative reading corner that can interest children. The hope is that the reading corner can help improve children’s literacy skills. (Dompet Dhuafa/LPI/Muthohar)
