A LANGUAGE SCHOOL WITH LIVING VALUES

Independent English Course is introducing "Living Values Project" to all students in 2010.

The idea is simple: Independent wants to be an English course which not only teaches English but also helps and gets involved in developing the nation, especially in the field of moral and ethics education. Independent wants to help students and parents and all partners to preserve universal values highly upheld. There are some worries that throughout modernization, people will forget their living values. With the project to be launched in 2010, Independent wants to take part in preserving local wisdom as well as universal living values.

There are 12 living values known so far and internationally recognized by the United Nations. They are: peace, love, responsibility, modesty, responsibility, cooperation, honesty, humility, tolerance, ...., .... and ....

We hope that in the future we will have young generation who maintain and practise living values to change the world to be more peaceful and lovely world to live in.

UT SCHOOL ENGLISH TRAINING PROGRAMME-BATCH 2

On Monday 30 November 2009 Batch II Students of United Tractors School finished their 30-day intensive English training. The closing ceremony was organised on the fourth floor of UT Learning Center building.

During the closing ceremony, all students performed their English competence through songs, marching, parody, drama, documentary films, speeches and so on. Teachers and students had worked together to prepare those performances.

During the closing ceremony, Mr Musyawir and Mrs Djuni Utami, on behalf of board of school directors, gave some motavation to students. They encourages all students to keep practising their English in their everyday life. Mr Thomas A. Sutadi, director of Independent, also stated that the closing ceremony was just a starting moment for students to use English intensively in their life.

Mr Thomas also explained about the modules for the students' OJT (On the Job Training). For the next 11 months, the students would have to go to their job sites in Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Adaro and Batu Kajang. During their OJT programme, the students would have to study English individually or in groups and they would have to do some assignments. In October or November 2010 the students would be back to UT School Jakarta for English final examinations. We wish them good luck.
