JAKARTA – 11 May, 2021 – With the rising demand and needs for e-learning, the Ministry of Health in Indonesia (BKKBN) has taken early steps in gamifying its curriculum for youths across Indonesia, with a population of 270 million. BKKBN (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional), a government body operating under the Ministry of Health, has been tasked with addressing family planning challenges across the nation since 1957. As part of its efforts to digitise its program, information, and knowledge provided to families & youth, BKKBN has teamed up with Solve Education!, an education technology non-profit that provides effective education through gamification.
BKKBN launched a digital event titled – ‘The Forward-Looking Generation Educational Game and Youth Comic Books Launch’ (‘Sosialisasi Game Edukasi GenRe dan Komik Edukasi Genta & Rere’). The launch event focused on sharing its 2 digital versions of its curriculum, a digital comic, as well as a mobile & desktop game with ‘Anti-Stunting’ as a key subject. The online campaign was attended by over 300 local province and city leaders who will be tasked with sharing the digital comic & game to beneficiaries across the world’s 4th most populous country.
Representing BKKBN during its campaign launch, Dr. Drs. Lalu Makripuddin, M.Si, Acting Deputy for Family Welfare and Empowerment BKKBN, shared that, “E-learning is not just limited to academic content. We believe that any educational content can positively engage and impact our beneficiaries through edtech solutions provided by Solve Education!.” Makripuddin also shared that “BKKBN is expected to impact youths across the country as we are not limited by physical books, and this allows easier access and sharing between students, parents, and families.”
Solve Education! Indonesia Country Director, Talitha Amalia was excited to be part of the launch, stating, “It is our honour to be part of this initiative as we can positively engage not just more people, but on a deeper level through the game’s interaction. The partnership between BKKBN and Solve Education also aims to provide all Indonesians with access to international quality academic content, including subjects such as ‘English’ & 21st Century Skills including ‘Employability Skills’.”
Makripuddin and Talitha shared in agreement, “We are determined to benefit users not just from a family planning perspective, but to also equip them with over 30,000 English questions to improve their knowledge, ultimately providing them with better access to opportunities in life such as a better job, income, and quality of life.”
