Visiting Green Yeard School

Gempera Director visited Green Yeard Kindergarten school on February 26, 2023. On this day, the Director of Gempera also witnessed firsthand the existence of various competitions at this school such as coloring competitions, fashion shows, and agility tests. Students from various schools were present on that day to participate in the competition. This activity was carried out in addition to honing the skills of children, but also for the socialization of Green Yeard school. According to one of the teachers, this school was founded by former NTB Governor L. Sri Nata.

This school is different from other schools in that it uses the concept of the outdoors for teaching and learning.  The learning place is like a typical Lombok Brugak building, where students sit on the floor, without using chairs or tables. Only the teacher’s room is a closed building. The school has many playground facilities that make children more comfortable.

The school also has a swimming pool for children. Children are free to use the swimming pool. In addition to formal education, Green Yeard school also holds a Quran memorization program in the afternoon. The school provides a mosque in the school environment.

According to the Director of Gempera, this school is very special because it has a different concept from mainstream schools. This school is very potential to be developed in the future.
