The National ICT Teachers Forum in Indonesia recently organized a compelling webinar aimed at ICT educators across the country. The event, themed "Understanding the Adjustment of Informatics Learning Outcomes in the Implementation of the Independent Curriculum," focused on exploring how the informatics curriculum in Indonesia aligns with the new Independent Curriculum. Oracle Academy played a significant role in collaborating on these efforts to facilitate the integration of IT subjects into secondary schools.
With substantial changes in the education curriculum in Indonesia, emphasizing learning outcomes in assessing student competencies, the webinar drew over 700 ICT teachers from various educational levels. These teachers, ranging from junior high school to vocational high school, participated to deepen their understanding of how curriculum adjustments impact informatics learning in their institutions.
A key point of discussion was Oracle Academy's pivotal role in enhancing IT education in Indonesian secondary schools. As a philanthropic program offering complimentary academic teaching and learning resources, Oracle Academy has significantly contributed to improving the quality of informatics education.

Overall, the webinar marked a significant step towards enhancing the quality of informatics education in Indonesia, with Oracle Academy's support fostering optimism for the future of IT education in secondary schools. Following the event, many schools in the country have begun registering as Institutional members of Oracle Academy, driven by teachers who have found alignment between Oracle Academy's curriculum and the K-12 educational framework, and subsequently shared their positive experiences.
