Character-Based Holistic Education (CBHE)
As an effort to realize the vision and mission of the foundation to produce human beings of character who develop holistically, we developed the Character-Based Holistic Education (CBHE) model. IHF establishes formal schools from early childhood education, elementary school, junior high school, high school, to university level as pilot schools in implementing and developing the CBHE model. We also facilitate schools that want to adopt the CBHE model through the Semai Benih Bangsa (SBB) program.
In order to disseminate the CBHE model throughout Indonesia, IHF organized various trainings, seminars and workshops, both at IHF and in various districts and cities in Indonesia. Various parties also supported and actively involved in the implementation of these programs.
