Ms Rafiqha, an English teacher at SDS Eka Tjipta Sungai Beran, was this week presented a trophy for achieving this honour in the Innovation in English Language Teaching Category.

Ms Rafiqha has been a source of inspiration to students since 2016, motivating hundreds of young people across various campuses and high schools. Since 2022, she teaches in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, where she continues to empower and engage learners amidst the challenges of a remote environment.

“Against the backdrop of palm oil trees and the relentless challenges of their environment, Ms. Rafiqha inspires confidence, resilience, and excellence in her learners.

“The program, which concluded its first batch this week, boasted a remarkable 94 per cent graduation rate despite its strict requirements. Ninety-one per cent of the graduates earned excellent scores, qualifying them for the prestigious Credly by Pearson badge.

“Congratulations to Ms. Rafiqha for winning the Silver Award and to all the wonderful educators involved in this program. With over 11,000 teachers graduating from this batch, covering all 38 regions of Indonesia, it is a tremendous achievement.”
