Bina Bangsa School (BBS) is one of the pioneer SPK schools in Indonesia that significantly emphasises the values of Chinese culture. Undoubtedly, our cultural heritage plays a big part in forming our school philosophy and core values.

As our academic footprint continues to grow over the past two decades, so does China as a nation. More recently, the expansion of its role in global trade with the One Belt, One Road international economic cooperation framework has successfully cemented its place as an emerging global power. 

The solid economic growth earns China status as one of the countries with the most billionaires globally. Showing no signs of slowing down, the number of billionaires in the Chinese population continues to show rapid growth, even amidst a global pandemic that has seemingly put a damper on economic growth globally. 

A feat that not many other countries can accomplish.

So, what are they doing differently in China?

Fundamentally, the Chinese work ethic is one of sheer determination and hard work. Over the years, this work ethic has become synonymous with Chinese culture, from the country's historical context to the present-day manufacturing, financial, and technology industries that continue to grow the country into a global economic power.   

This approach to life is applied to every aspect of life and is taught from a very young age.

The Chinese education system is modelled after these values, and students are expected to toughen up more often than not and perform to the highest standards. 

Every student is equal in terms of being given the same opportunities for learning as the next student. Hence, students are conditioned to view sheer effort and determination as the primary way to succeed academically. The uber-competitive nature of the education system further pushes students to be the best among their peers tirelessly.

As a result, this upbringing translates into becoming the backbone of the work culture in China, where success is achieved through unrelenting dedication and diligence, similar to what they experienced in school.

Now, how do these values shape your child's BBS education experience?

As educators, we understand that no one approach to education is without flaws. Hence, we are committed to designing a learning experience that takes all the positives of different teaching methodologies to bring the best out of our students.

Like the Chinese education system, a solid academic culture consisting of dedication, determination, and hard work, as well as a healthy dose of competition amongst peers, is encouraged at BBS. Through such an environment, students could push not only themselves but also each other to achieve their full potential.

Another aspect of our learning environment is the importance of growing active critical thinkers. Drawing inspiration from Western education, we expect our students to be problem solvers who could bring about change to their wider communities by having the courage to challenge the ideas presented to them.
