ABOUT YAYASAN BAKTI PENDIDIKAN UNGGUL

YBPU is a not-for-profit organisation under the Bakti Barito Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Barito Pacific Group. YBPU works with missions to accelerate the equality in education and to support achieving the golden generations in Indonesia especially around the business units and affiliates of Barito Pacific Group. In January 2022, YBPU established a partnership with STIR Education to strengthen its programmes and to accelerate its missions.

The partnership has the purpose of supporting the education system to reignite sustainable intrinsic motivation and a love of lifelong learning across stakeholders at all levels of the education systems, including children, teachers and school leaders, supervisors, and coordinator supervisors and to build capacity across all levels.

We are an international NGO that supports education systems to reignite intrinsic motivation so that every child, teacher and official is motivated to learn and improve. At a practical level, that means we support governments to reignite intrinsic motivation in teachers and local officials, through teacher networks. Our vision is a world where teachers love teaching and children love learning. Since 2012 we have reached 200,000 teachers and 6 million children across 70 districts in India and Uganda and since 2022 we launched our programme in two districts in East Java, three districts in East Nusa Tenggara, one in West Java, Indonesia.

We achieve this through a five-year learning partnership with an education system, where we align all levels of the education system (officials, teachers and children) around the goal of increasing intrinsic motivation.

Practically, this means that teachers undergo monthly network meetings with about 20 to 30 local peers. Through these meetings they’re supported to develop their practice in areas ranging from effective questioning to creating warm but orderly classroom routines – all designed to create a more effective relationship between the teacher and child. In doing so they develop a sense of autonomy (the sense they can change things), mastery (sense of getting better as a professionals) and purpose (reconnecting emotionally with their peers and students) – the key drivers of intrinsic motivation.

District officials undergo a training and coaching programme that motivates and supports them to prioritise, run and monitor the teacher networks and a close partnership with the state or national government enables the government to align this intrinsic motivation approach within their priorities, structures and systems.

The approach is run by the government from day one and after about five years of partnering with an education system we hope to have embedded a culture of improvement at all levels for the system to continue to strengthen itself. We typically allocate one member of our own staff per district to train, energise and coach the district officials running the approach, and a small team at the national or state level.

How we approach our work is as important as what we do and our core values guide the way:

• Humility – We don’t have all the answers upfront.
• Ownership – We empower each other with high expectations & support.
• Openness – We will listen, learn and improve, and lead through obstacles.
• Purpose – We’re united by a shared vision we’ll build & achieve together.

As STiR Indonesia continues to strengthen programme implementation and deepen its partnerships with local government, the M&E Manager role is essential to ensure that programme monitoring, learning, and evidence generation remain strong and aligned with STiR’s approach to intrinsic motivation and system-level change. The M&E Manager will lead the implementation of STiR Indonesia’s monitoring and evaluation systems, oversee day-to-day data collection and analysis, and generate timely insights that inform programme delivery and decision‑making.

Working closely with programme teams, the role will ensure that monitoring data is actively used to strengthen engagement with teachers, school leaders, and district officials.
