Indonesian Embassy in Canberra Supports Indonesian Language Education in Australia

The Indonesian Embassy in Canberra, along with an Indonesian retail bookstore, provided teaching materials for Indonesian Language teachers in Australia. They made a digital Smart Library. In a written statement received in Jakarta on Friday (4/2), the cooperation signing was done by Indonesian Embassy Canberra Education and Culture Attache, Mukhamad Najib and Gramedia Marketing & Merchandising Director, Hadi Prayitno.

The smart library has books in Indonesian that can be used as a material by teachers and students. Mukhamad Najib said that the smart library has been available since 2021. However, the use was not optimal, because of limited books.

Najib further said that considering the enthusiasm of the teachers, the Indonesian Embassy is committed to increasing the number of books and titles so that they can be used by more learning levels of Indonesian language in Australia. He hoped the teachers could have more reading materials. As a result, the learning quality in class improves.

Meanwhile, Indonesian Consul General in Sydney, Vedi Kurnia Buana said that Australia has more Indonesian language learners outside Indonesia. He hoped that the Smart Library can enhance the Australian students' interest to learn the Indonesian language.
