    Tanoto Foundation is dedicated to elevating the quality of basic education across Indonesia through its PINTAR programme, focusing on significantly improving students’ literacy and numeracy skills.

    The impact of the PINTAR programme is demonstrated by significant, measurable gains in basic education.

    An impact evaluation of the programme highlights that over a three-year intervention, overall student performance increased by a remarkable 39%. This success is directly linked to a 27% increase in teacher quality and the cultivation of improved learning environments through stronger school management and parental involvement. The data confirms that students in schools with good leadership, active learning, and strong parental support achieve academic results up to 10 percentage points higher than students in schools without these factors. Notably, beyond these impressive metrics, the PINTAR programme also played a key role in preventing learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring students in Tanoto Foundation’s partner schools were able to continue their studies without interruption.

    “We are grateful for our partnership with Tanoto Foundation, which is grounded in the shared goal of improving the quality of education. This partnership has brought about many changes. All our teachers have been trained under the PINTAR Program. As a result, our Faculty of Education and TTI instructors are more confident in developing interactive classes for our participants. All these are for the benefit of our students, who may one day become teachers themselves”.
