Education

TMT is highly concerned with advancing education in Indonesia as the foundation for the nation’s character development and individual ethics. The education pillar program is implemented through scholarships, school renovation, and teacher training, donations, and more.

Since 1996, through Lembaga Bantuan Pendidikan Mitratama foundation, TMT has assisted high-performing children of employees within TMT Group with their educational costs. The same concern is also shared within TMT Group's subsidiaries.

Trakindo, as one of businesses TMT's subsidiaries, has carried out educational assistance for 40 public elementary schools in Indonesia, reaching over than 13,000 students and 1,000 teachers. This educational assistance program covers building renovations, guidance and training for teachers, as well as funding assistance for the family of high achievement students. Trakindo also pioneered a heavy machinery study program in 10 Vocational Secondary Schools (SMK) and 5 polytechnics all across Indonesia since 1996, which has now been officially adopted as national curriculum. This program covers curriculum development and study materials, work training for students/university students, and teacher and instructor training at the Trakindo Training Center. More than 2000 students have gained employment at Trakindo and other heavy machinery companies, and more than 100 teachers have benefited from this program.

The ABM Investama Group, MahaDasha Group, CSUL finance and Radana Finance share the same concern for education. Scholarship assistance programs for high achieving students, book donation campaigns to increase the interest of students in reading, and school improvements to entrepreneurship training are several of the CSR initiatives that have been implemented.

This series of programs in the educational pillar have benefitted students at all school levels, starting from elementary school until polytechnic level, scattered across the country from Aceh till Papua.
