Sekolah Prestasi Global (PresGo) Depok has launched its International Culture Program in Malaysia, aiming to provide students with invaluable international experience and a global outlook. The initiative, which includes educational trips to institutions such as Acmar International School in Selangor, is designed to prepare students for a future that demands more than just academic prowess.
The program emphasizes the development of communication skills, adaptability, and the confidence to interact with diverse cultural groups. During their visit to Acmar International School, PresGo students gained firsthand exposure to an international education system. They were encouraged to use English in daily interactions, build new relationships, and appreciate the cultural diversity encountered.
Through PresGo International Culture, we want to provide learning experiences that cannot be obtained solely within the classroom. Students are encouraged to interact directly with the international environment, thereby strengthening their courage, global perspective, and adaptability.
Ahmad Faisal, Director of Sekolah Prestasi Global, highlighted the program's significance in preparing the younger generation for a globalized era. "Through PresGo International Culture, we want to provide learning experiences that cannot be obtained solely within the classroom," Faisal stated. "Students are encouraged to interact directly with the international environment, thereby strengthening their courage, global perspective, and adaptability."
Faisal noted that the program's success is measured not just by the visited countries or institutions, but by the learning process and experiences gained by the students. He observed significant positive changes, including increased confidence in speaking English, greater willingness to interact with new people, and a more open attitude toward cultural differences. The school also anticipates further collaboration with Acmar International School, potentially including cultural exchanges, joint student projects, and student exchange programs.
This is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater collaboration opportunities. We want to open more opportunities for students to learn, grow, and contribute internationally.
