Background
Kolaborasi untuk Edukasi Anak Indonesia (KREASI) or Collaboration for the Education of Indonesian Children is a programme designed to accelerate the improvement of literacy numeracy and character education for Indonesian preschool and primary school students in 8 districts across 4 provinces in Indonesia. The program has been developed together with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) National Development Planning Agency through Save the Children with partners in the collaborative consortium Mitra Pendidikan Indonesia (MPI). KREASI is funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) through the Multiplier Grant allocated for Indonesia.
KREASI is managed by Save the Children and implemented by seven local implementing partners in the following districts:
- Kalimantan Barat: KabupatenKetapang & KabupatenKayongUtara
- Maluku Utara: KabupatenHalmahera Utara & KabupatenPulauMorotai
- Sumatera Utara: KabupatenNiasUtara & KabupatenNiasSelatan
- Lampung: KabupatenTanggamus & KabupatenPesisirBarat
The Catch-Up Club (CuC) approach developed by Save the Children is designed to accelerate foundational literacy and numeracy skills for primary school children who are falling behind. Under the KREASI program CuCs will be contextualized as school-based interventions targeting students in Grades 34. The approach integrates Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) disability inclusion and structured play to ensure equitable engaging and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
CuC programming combines literacy and numeracy activities with SEL and structured play tailored to learners needs and skill levels. Activities are designed to be enjoyable and inclusive engaging all children regardless of their current literacy or numeracy proficiency. Clubs typically deliver 90120 minute learning sessions conducted three to four days per week over two to three weeks followed by a one-week instructional break. This sequence constitutes one round. Three rounds of instruction comprise a full cycle which spans approximately three calendar months following program set-up. More detailed information about the roll-out of CuC is presented in Annex 2.
