Enhancement Competence of Young Learners Educators and Parents to Improve Integrative Holistic Services toward Children
Project leader: Ms. Heny Solekhah
Level of education and university: Master, Flinders University
Collaborating Organisations: HIMPAUDI and Gabungan Organisasi Wanita Kendal
Project Location: Jawa Tengah
Activity Type: Training, workshop or seminar
Sector: Education and Training
Project Rationale:
Kendal is located on the northern coastline of Java with agricultural areas comprising around 46 percent of its land. Of the total population of 952,966 people, 11.10 percent or 106.070 people live in poverty. To obtain a higher wage, many parents, especially women, work abroad as migrant workers, leaving their children with their grandparents or other relatives. Kendal is the regency with the highest number of Indonesian migrant workers, or Tenaga Kerja Indonesia, in Central Java with 11,216 migrant workers in 2014.
It is reported that the absence of parents becomes a problem for the young children, especially in regard to their education, health, and protection. Around 1000 children suffer from stunting. The number of child victims of violence is also increasing. Therefore, early childhood education is vitally important, but also education to spread knowledge to the parents about the importance of nutrition and safety.
Project Beneficiaries:
130 early childhood teachers, 10 women activists, and 20 parents
Priority Development Area:
Human development for a productive and healthy society
