Community Learning Center (CLC): Special Service for The Education of Children of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Sarawak, Malaysia

Abstract

The consequences of Indonesia's participation in ratifying education for all children seem to have been responded to positively by various parties. For this reason, the government is facilitating the opening of inclusive education, schools without conditions, in public schools in various regions, both domestically and abroad. One of the inclusive schools in the Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM) format is the Sarawak-Malaysia Community Learning Center (CLC). It turns out that the CLC development policy has not been balanced with the availability of adequate teaching staff. In fact, to empower the children of APMI through education, ideally teachers are prepared who have adequate pedagogical skills, meaning that service to them is not enough just to show sympathy or empathy, more than that they need a teacher who has mastery of knowledge and adequate pedagogical and professional skills to serve APMI in its various variations.
