The urgency for students to master 21st-century skills has led SEAQIS and PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PT PHR) to implement the Social and Environmental Responsibility Programme (TJSL) since 2022. The initiation of this Competency Improvement Programme for Teachers, Principals, and School Supervisors in the Rokan working areas was targeted to improve their teaching competencies in implementing STEM learning.
During the second year of the programme from December 2023 to May 2024, the batch reached up to 240 participants. The training was held from 18 to 21 December 2023 at the Furaya Hotel, Pekanbaru, utilising the in-service training and on-the-job learning (IN-ON) methods. The participants were given an understanding of the characteristics of STEM learning, allowing them to develop Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) modules with the STEM approach. The training then continued to the on-the-job learning (OJL) stage from January to May 2024. In this stage, participants discussed the STEM-based P5 implementation strategy in each participant’s school and compiled the P5 module guided by SEAQIS facilitators. Following this, P5 module designs themed in Engineering and Technology, Sustainable Lifestyle, Entrepreneurship, and Local Wisdom were created with a total of 48 modules consisting of 24 modules for the elementary school level and 24 modules for the junior high school level.
Marking the closing of the Competency Improvement Programme on 13 to 18 May 2024, SEAQIS facilitators observed the implementation of P5 in the affected schools in addition to disseminate the training result. The affected schools are part of the PT PHR working areas from Bengkalis, Kampar, Rokan Hilir, and Siak Regencies that have been chosen by the Education Department to attend the training. Through this programme, SEAQIS and PT PHR are working out on the concern to improve the quality of better education in Indonesia, especially in the districts of Rokan working areas.
