School Visit
While most schools in Indonesia will be on holiday at the time of the conference, arrangements have been made for conference participants to have the option of visiting one of six schools (described below) on the morning of 27 June after the opening plenary session, travelling by coach from Yogyakarta State University and returning to the University for lunch. Each visit will include refreshments (on arrival), a briefing about the school and its place within the overall Indonesian education system, observing one of the school’s teachers conducting a class of or related to moral education, discussion about the class and the opportunity to interact with teachers and students. The class will be conducted in Indonesian but explanation will be given in English and the visit should give a good opportunity to learn about moral and other educational aspects of a local school and provide a context for the formal sessions of the conference, especially those relating to moral education in Indonesia. There is no additional cost for this activity but participants should select the school that they would like to visit when they register for the conference; if a school does not obtain sufficient registrants, or too many, alternative arrangements may be made at the conference organisers’ discretion.
