KUNDUR -- Since it started in 2000, the PT Timah Tbk Scholarship Class Program at SMAN 1 Pemali has continued to this day. This is a form of commitment by the MIND ID mining industry holding members to improve the quality of human resources in the mining circle.
The PT Timah Tbk scholarship class program has produced hundreds of alumni who have now taken part in various fields. Students who will join the PT Timah Tbk scholarship class must go through a series of tests.
The presence of the PT Timah Tbk scholarship class program is not only to help improve the quality of human resources but also to reduce the cost of education for parents because everything is fully borne by the company.
Not surprisingly, every scholarship class program opened by PT Timah Tbk in the new academic year is always being attacked, even though this program is only limited to students who excel but are economically disadvantaged. The PT Timah Tbk scholarship class program targets students from the Riau Islands Province, Riau Province, and the Bangka Belitung Islands Province.
The existence of the PT Timah Tbk Scholarship Class Program is really felt by the community and the Education Office because it has supported children's education. As stated by the Head of the Karimun Regency Education Office, Sugianto.
Sugianto said that his party really appreciated the PT Timah Tbk scholarship class program because it was very good. This program provides an opportunity for students from Karimun Regency to study at SMAN 1 Pemali.
"We, from the Regional Government of Karimun Regency, especially from the Education and Culture Office, would like to express our deepest gratitude to PT. Timah, who has programmed this activity, thus providing an opportunity for junior high school students in the Karimun district to receive scholarships at SMA Negeri 1 Pemali Bangka. ,” he said.
He hopes that this program can continue so that more and more students can get the opportunity to study through the PT Timah Tbk scholarship class program.
"We hope that this program can run continuously every year so that students who are unable but achievers have the opportunity to continue their studies to a higher level," he said.
He hopes that in the future PT Timah Tbk can continue to innovate in supporting educational programs in Karimun Regency.
In the same vein, the Head of SMP Negeri 3 Kundur Barat Juwarno said that the PT Timah Scholarship Class Program is always eagerly awaited by their students because it really helps parents who have economic limitations.
"We on the part of the school also continue to motivate all students at SMP Negeri 3 to study well and work hard so that they continue to excel so that they can take part in the PT Timah Scholarship Program, because in the PT Timah Scholarship Program only high achieving students can take part in this program, he said.
By providing such motivation, many of their students can study well so that every year SMP Negeri 3 Kundur Barat always sends representatives to take part in the PT Timah Tbk Scholarship Program.
"Our hope is that this scholarship program can continue so that students who have achievements but are constrained by funds can continue to pursue their dreams and the human resources of the people in Kundur Barat will also get better," he stated. (*)
