Instead of recruiting people from Elementary Teacher Education programs, it is practical for international elementary schools in Indonesia to recruit their teachers from English Education program, as English is used as the primary medium of instructions.
To address this gap, the Elementary Teacher Education (ETE) students in President University are equipped with the competencies to teach in international elementary schools using English as the medium of instruction.
The ETE curriculum is designed to prepare future educators with a strong foundation in international curricula, including the International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge, and other globally recognized educational frameworks, ensuring graduates are competitive, confident, and ready to teach in international learning environments.
