About the event

The Background

Ki Hajar Dewantara (KHD) Award is an idea and initiative by SEAMEO QITEP in Science to honour and appreciate the science teachers who have dedicated their lives and effort to bring the teaching and learning process up to an excellent level. This concept derives from the inspiration of the founding father of National Education, the late Ki Hajar Dewantara for his unceasing commitment to make education a contribution towards human liberation. We grant scholarship for 30 selected teachers as the nominees of KHD Award (free charge of programme, accommodation, meals, and transportation during the programme).

The KHD Award will be conducted from 17 to 19 September 2018 in Bali, Indonesia. The award will be conferred during the International Conference on Science Education and Teacher Professional Development (ICon), biennially event of SEAMEO QITEP in Science, where teachers, academics, researchers and education observers gather to inform, discuss, exchange and disseminate their best practices in facilitating the learning process.

1. to commemorate the services of Ki Hajar Dewantara in forming national education system in both philosophy and practices;
