Educational Startup Pahamify Supports Government's Steps To Implement Prototype Curriculum

JAKARTA – The start-up company PT Pahami Cipta Edukasi (Pahamify) fully supports the government's decision to implement the Prototype Curriculum in the 2022 Academic Year.

Pahamify's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Syarif Rousyan Fikri said his party was strongly committed to the success of this policy.

"We welcome the government's policy through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology in implementing the 2022 Prototype Curriculum," he said in an official statement quoted on Sunday, January 9.

According to Fikri, as an educational startup, the success of education programs in Indonesia means maintaining the company's strategic market share.

“This curriculum will certainly encourage students' free spirit to learn. As a digital learning platform, Pahamify will also continue to innovate to provide the best learning experience so that students are able to improve their academic achievements," he said.

On the same occasion, the Head of the Curriculum and Learning Center of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology, Yogi Anggraena, revealed that the 2022 Prototype Curriculum continues the direction of developing the previous curriculum which was designed to develop students holistically.

“We want the material presented to be developed and elaborated and not just based on content. So, what is conveyed to students is able to be personalized according to student needs," he said.

For information, the learning carried out in the 2022 Prototype Curriculum will be project-based for the development of soft skills and student character. This curriculum is claimed to focus on essential materials so that there is sufficient time for in-depth learning for basic competencies such as literacy and numeracy.

"The prototype curriculum provides flexibility for teachers to carry out learning according to students' abilities and make adjustments to the local context and content," said Yogi.

Meanwhile, PT Pahami Cipta Edukasi (Pahamify) itself is an educational technology company (edtech) and the creator of learning applications that is quite influential in Indonesia.

This business entity says it has developed thousands of learning videos as its business commodity. The data states that until November 2020 the number of Pahamify downloaders has reached more than 1 million times through the AppStore and Google Play.
