"Of course, I am very happy to see the educators' enthusiasm in the students who have already showcased their work. Moreover, on this occasion, the proceeds from the auction of this artwork are intended to benefit others," he expressed, Monday (3/10).

He reminded all educators to take part in the priority program of the Ministry of Elementary and Secondary Education.

One of the priorities of the program was related to optimizing deep learning and the digitalization of the teaching and learning process.

"I believe that for the educators of the Al-Azhar Islamic Boarding School Foundation, all of these priority programs are not something new. This means you all should be able to further encourage and implement them in the teaching and learning process," he added.

Al-Azhar Islamic Boarding School Foundation's Da'wah and Social Section Chairman, Zahrudin Sulthoni explained the exhibition showcased artworks from educators and students of Al-Azhar in Indonesia, ranging from kindergarten to high school.

"This is the second time we are doing this involving a total of 220 Al-Azhar schools across Indonesia. Today, there are 130 works on display that will be auctioned," he stated.

He hoped that this could stimulate the imagination and develop the talents of students at YPI Al-Azhar into brilliant and inspiring achievements.

"All proceeds from the auction will be given to the underprivileged or those in need. Hopefully, the entire series of events will run successfully," he stated.
