Bsuccess.org: Jokowi's Eldest Son Free English Course

President Joko Widodo’s eldest son Gibran Rakabuming Raka may well be seen as a cold and rigid person. But behind that unfriendly persona is a man with humanitarian ambition and compassion to others. In the last three years, Gibran has opened up free English courses.

Although the course does not cost any money, it is still professionally managed with each student being placed on a level in accordance to their English capability and the progress throughout the course. After successfully passing the test and fulfill the prescribed hours of study, the students will be given a certificate to notify their progress.

As shown on Liputan 6 SCTV, Thursday 12/11/2014), children having their courses in House of Knowledge Solo, Central Java express their profound enthusiasm and willingness to learn more.

Gibran’s free English course has spread across seven locations and has now more than 500 students ranging from those in elementary school to high school. Jokowi’s eldest son primary mission was to educate his catering employees the language English.

“It was initially just a trial project. My previous students were female adults who used to work here for my catering business. It started with them, then their children who did not know what to do when they were loitering for their mothers to finish working, and now everyone seemed to be interested. Giving free courses does not mean I am giving it only to those who are financially troubled, but also to those who are enthusiastic and willing to learn,” said Gibran.

With English course fee considerably high, Gibran’s free English course is very helpful to many parents who want their children to succeed in this field. Gibran himself covers all expenses, including salaries to those who contribute in teaching. He is able to cover this by using the profit he makes in his Chili Pari catering business. With his catering business as well as his free English course going smoothly, he tries to remain down to earth and not linking any of his success to his father’s current profession even though he can always use the privilege of being the son of the number one man in Indonesia.

In the future, Gibran is hoping to make 1.000 children fluent in their English and also open up another language free courses apart from English. (Ein)liputan6
