ulture, Elementary Education and Secondary Education Minister Anies Baswedan says the government is going to immediately improve teaching methods at schools in order to boost education quality in the country.

'€œThe problem of our education does not lie in the curriculum, but it is in the methods of teaching.

I believe that if the teachers use the right methods, the materials in any subject will be delivered very well to the students,'€ Anies said in Jakarta on Thursday.

He said that he would invite methodology experts to discuss with the ministry and all related stakeholders, including teachers, how to develop better teaching methods and guidelines.

'€œWe have to involve the teachers in the process [of creating the new teaching method] and I want this new method to come from the experts,'€ he said,

In addition, he said that he would set up a team to evaluate the 2013 curriculum so that the government could improve the education sector.(+++)
