MAIN STORY
enthusiasm for the teacher’s chosen subject that elevates good
teachers to become great teachers. The teacher’s enthusiasm
for the subject is what will inspire the students to stimulate their
own thinking, and motivate them to expand their knowledge
on their own.
Research-driven
Teachers driven by a passionate search for new intellectual
vistas and perspectives within the boundary of their disciplines
enrich and enliven the teaching process. Such teachers are,
at heart, enthusiastic researchers who constantly enhance and
expand their mastery of their subject and offer their students
a broad spectrum of insights. Excellent teachers present these
insights in a manner that students can understand and enjoy,
instilling a love of learning that translates into stronger
analytical capabilities, honed intellects and the capacity to
examine issues and problems from multiple perspectives.
Creativity
The combination of passion and scientific rigor drives creativity
in education. Teachers who truly inspire their students
present their subjects not as a collection of stark facts but as
a constantly evolving landscape. Everything in this fascinating
world can be questioned and critically re-examined, and new
perspectives are always welcomed.
Change
Great teachers do not feel threatened by new paradigms,
fast developing technologies, and new scientific discoveries.
Inspired to Teach:

video conference facility that supports SSE’s modern learning.
The symbolic inauguration of the Sekolah Tinggi Keguruan dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Kebangkitan Nasional or Sampoerna School
of Education (SSE) on October 7 in Jakarta would have been like any another school inauguration ceremony – had the 89 newly
admitted students not undergone a rigorous three stage selection process from over 1,100 other applicants.
All the students at the SSE are scholarship recipients from families facing financial difficulties. Without the scholarships, these
students would have little chance of pursuing their dreams of becoming professional teachers.
The 89 selected scholars received scholarships for a four-year education, some with full-boarding and expenses.
42 students will major in mathematics, while 47 students will take English as their education major. The students are expected to
become the new generation of Indonesian teachers, capable of mentoring their students to be the country’s future leaders.
Among those in attendance during the ceremony were Director General of Higher Education Human Resources at the Ministry
of National Education Prof. Dr. H. Muchlas M.Pd; Head of Research and Development at the Ministry of Law and Human
Rights Prof. Hafid Abbas; and Iowa State University, Nanyang Technological University and Massey University representatives.
PT. HM. Sampoerna Tbk Corporate Affairs Director Yos Adiguna Ginting was also in attendance. PT HM. Sampoerna Tbk has
donated more than Rp 50 billion to support the scholarships and the construction of campus facilities and infrastructure.
About SSE
The SSE is a response by Sampoerna Foundation to the shortage of professional teachers in Indonesia and serves to address the
immediate need for more than 10,000 trained educators. The SSE was established as a continuation of previous teacher training
programs provided by Sampoerna Foundation. The SSE offers educational programs in Mathematics and English following
national and international curricula, and will use the latter as the language of instruction.
”The SSE will serve as a Center of Education Excellence and will use innovative educational
technologies to provide higher value in the learning and teaching process. We will also
develop a culture of research among the teaching staff and the students,“

during his speech. The governor also congratulated the cheerful scholars for
their success in receiving the prestigious scholarships.
During the inauguration of the Sampoerna Academy in Palembang on August 3, 2009, Sampoerna Foundation Board Chairperson
Michelle Sampoerna reiterated the Foundation’s commitment to provide access to quality education for the best performing
students from poor families. “Economic resources alone will not provide our country with progress and prosperity but the develop-
ment of human capital and the grooming of our young leaders will determine our future as well,” she said.
Sampoerna Foundation collaborated with the state-run high school, the regional government, and the Ministry of National
Education to establish the South Sumatra SMAN Internasional (Sampoerna Academy), a boarding school for top performing
students. The high school aims to provide the highest possible quality of education through the IGCSE curriculum standard.
These students will receive not only the knowledge but also the life-skills to become effective and responsible leaders, displaying
international awareness, global competitiveness, strong moral fiber and the social consciousness to give back and contribute to
society.
The curriculum integrates international and local standards, while upholding the country’s identity and values. It is intended
not only to teach academic and leadership skills, but more importantly, instill in students a value system that promotes morality,
empathy, tolerance and social consciousness.
The school provides for the student’s every need, including accommodation, making admission to the school a unique privilege.
That is why, in her speech, Michelle encouraged students not to treat this “gift” lightly. “This is an investment! You have been given
the opportunity to achieve academic excellence and develop your leadership to better serve your communities and your country.
Learn today, lead tomorrow; but do not forget whence you came,” said Michelle.
“You are the teachers and mentors of tomorrow’s leaders. Serve with pride, responsibility and excellence,” she added.
The South Sumatra SMAN Internasional (Sampoerna Academy) has granted scholarships to 70 students. In addition to Palembang,
Sampoerna Foundation has also inaugurated a similar school in Malang, East Java, the SMAN 10 Malang (Sampoerna Academy),
which granted scholarships to 150 students.
Donors supporting the Sampoerna Academy in Palembang and Malang are PT. HM. Sampoerna Tbk, which provided grants for
infrastructure development including the boarding facility; PT. Merparti Mahkota Sarana, producer of Standard ballpoint and
marker pens; and Olympic Furniture, which provided desks and book shelves. Other contributing donors include Bank Sumsel, PT
Bukit Asam, PTPN VII, PT Tanjungenim Lestari, Index Furnishings and Angkasa Pura II Palembang.

A Call to Alms:
Bait Al-Kamil Provides for Education through Alms-giving
Muslim Pride – A scholarship recipient is pictured proudly raising the Indonesian flag during a school event.
Coming from financially disadvantaged families, scholars rely on alms to continue their education.
The Sampoerna Foundation recently partnered with Bait Al-Kamil – an Alms Distribution Unit (UPZ) – which channels alms to
economically disadvantaged Muslim students for the purpose of education.
Launched on August 19, the UPZ Bait Al Kamil is a channel for Indonesian Muslims to contribute alms to help fellow Muslims
continue their education. Bait Al Kamil will use the donations to cover the educational expenses of talented yet financially
challenged Muslim students from elementary to post-graduate level with the goal of producing future Muslim leaders
capable of competing in the global environment.
“We must remember that Islam obliges Muslims to pay alms, and such an obligation should not be overlooked. Muslims should
have no fear of poverty by donating some of their fortunes to others, as Allah promised in the surah (chapter) of Al Baqarah, verse
263, that the more we donate to good causes with the purest of hearts, the greater the satisfaction will be,” said Prof. Dr. KH. Didin
Hafidhuddin, M.Sc, the National Alms Management Body Chairman. Bait Al-Kamil’s Board of Counselors includes KH. Mustofa
Bisri, popularly known as Gus Mus, a highly respected counselor to the Central Board of the largest Islamic organization Nahdlatul
Ulama (PBNU), and H. Isbir Fadli, Head of the Alms Institution Guidance Office at the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
To facilitate the channeling of alms through Bait Al-Kamil, the UPZ has opened the following accounts in Bank Muamalat:
• YPS-UPZ Bait Al-Kamil, account number 0000056623, for alms
• YPS-UPZ Bait Al-Kamil, account number 0000056706, for donations
Transfer receipts should be faxed to 021-5772341. For further information on paying alms or making donations through Bait
Al-Kamil, interested parties can contact 021-5772340, extension 7082 or 7087.
