February 2008 was an active period for the Master Teacher (MT) Programme,
which is developed by SF TI in collaboration with education offices in
Bangka-Belitung, Bali, and DKI Jakarta and the School of Education from Edith
Cowan University (ECU) in Perth, Australia. The premise of this Master Teacher
Programme is to develop 18 master teachers and 6 master school leaders who,
after the programme, will share their knowledge with a greater number of
teachers creating a cascading effect, allowing more teachers to be better
equipped in educating their students.
