Quba Islamic School Visits Cambridge UK at the Cambridge Schools Conference
School is a place to convey the best information to date. Even though technology has developed and everyone can access information from anywhere, schools are still the most trusted source of knowledge and information.
It can still be clearly seen today that those who do not go to school will experience many problems ranging from lack of knowledge, poor communication skills, low empathy, lack of innovation, low ability to escape poverty, and many more.
There are so many benefits that can be gained from going to school. Quba Islamic School believes that good education will produce quality human resources. Therefore, they continue to strive to provide the best education for all their students so that they will have the abilities and knowledge that can change their lives for the better. However, it's not just students who need to broaden their knowledge, teachers also do the same. They must actually be the first to own extensive knowledge and information which they will share with their students, both academic and non-academic related.
On Saturday and Sunday, 6-7 July, Quba Islamic School, two of their teachers were delegated to come directly to Cambridge, UK for the Cambridge Schools Conference.
As is known, Quba Islamic School is an international standard school based on the Cambridge International Curriculum Principles. Therefore, they had the opportunity to send a delegation to take part in a series of Cambridge Schools Conference activities.
This event has a purpose enable teachers and leaders to be good at communicating, both in terms of how they speak and how they listen.
In two days, there will be 4 important materials discussed. The first speaker discussed "Becoming a good speaker and listener" guided by Professor Neil Mercer, then discussed "Multilingualism and identity: Understanding others and communicating with confidence" guided by Dr. Karen Forbes and Professor Linda Fisher, the next material was "Let's talk about climate change education" which was guided by Christine Ozden, Dr Lian Saddington, and Paul Ellis. These three series of material were delivered on Saturday, 6 July 2024. On Sunday, 7 July 2024, they discussed "Educating for communication, confidence, and moral purpose on a fragile planet" guided by Dr. Rupert Higham.
Apart from that, the Quba Islamic School delegation also socialized with fellow education activists, especially the school which both uses the Cambridge International Curriculum Principles. They exchanged information about future challenges and potential in their respective schools.
This certainly opened the eyes of Quba Islamic School to the various new perspectives they gained for the future progress of their school.
International activities like his are very useful for forming better schools so that they can produce the best students for the future of the Indonesian nation.
Quba Islamic School will continue to improvise from an academic and non-academic perspective so that their school remains at the forefront in providing the best education in Bekasi City, and also all this so that their students get the best education from the best teachers and the best system in the world.
Through this activity,Quba Islamic School hope can forge new relationships with delegates from various countries and discuss common ideas and challenges.
