Training for SMKK

The Center for Forestry Education and Training (CVET) in collaboration with GIZ FORCLIME organized a workshop on enhancing competences of Forestry Vocational Schools (SMK Kehutanan) which took place in Bogor in March 2014. The topic of the workshop was the implementation of the SMKK curriculum 2013 to support the development of Forest Management Units (FMUs) in Indonesia. In detail the purpose was to: (1) Improve knowledge and create a common perception about the implementation of the SMKK 2013 curriculum; (2) Increase the knowledge of teachers in developing material for the Capacity Competency Test (Uji Kompetensi Keahlian - UKK) for the students; (3) Promote SMKK to improve their teaching quality and learning activities through detailed discussion of the SMKK curriculum for 2013 in order to maintain the quality standards of SMKK.

The 90 participants in the workshop come from state SMKK (5 schools), private SMKK (11 schools), and the District Education Service. Resource persons at the workshop are from the Ministry of Forestry (Agency for Forestry Extension and Development of Human Resources - BP2SDM, senior lecturers of CVET), from GIZ FORCLIME, the Ministry of Education, the state-owned forestry company Perum Perhutani, the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP), and the Professional Certification Institute (LSP).

In the opening ceremony Dr. Helmut Dotzauer (GIZ FORCLIME) underlined that FMU development, as one of the main pillars for forestry development in Indonesia, will only be successful when supported by professional personnel. Therefore, institutions such as SMKK have a strategic role to support FMU development in the future.At the end of the workshop participants formulated an action plan for preparing measures for the SMKK 2013 curriculum implementation. Recommendations include the need for strengthening the capacity of teachers, and the necessity to adopt the National Competencies Standard for FMU Human Resources (Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Sumber Daya Manusia Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan - SKKNI SDM KPH) as a reference in formulating SMKK curricula in the future.
