YOGYAKARTA (23 November
2019) - The Center for Social Education (Puspensos) continues to improve the
capacity of social extension workers. One of them is through the Training of
Facilitator (ToF) Social Extension Functional Officer.
"Increasing the competency
of Social Extension Functional Officials and being able to Equate the
perception and commitment of social extension functional officials in carrying
out social extension activities is the goal of this activity," said Hasim,
Head of Puspensos in his report at Novotel Hotel Yogyakarta, Friday
(11/22/2019)
I also hope that in this
activity a synergistic work plan can be realized between the Center for Social
Welfare Education and Training, Puspensos and the Center for Social Welfare
Research and Development. Add Hasim
Meanwhile on the same
occasion, Head of the Social Education and Counseling Agency (Badiklit Pensos)
Ministry of Social Affairs (Ministry of Social Affairs) Syahabuddin in his
remarks conveyed "Social Counseling as a basic and initial movement to be
able to better provide program readiness and benefits"
"Revitalizing social
counseling as a basic motion for development / implementation of social welfare
is important to be carried out by realizing the Social Resilience Village
program," Syahabuddin explained
Village / Village of Social
Resilience is a geographical and / or administrative area where the population
/ community has the resources, abilities and willingness to prevent and
overcome social welfare problems independently and sustainably.
Until 2019, 935 people have
been formed Community Social Instructors from 935 villages in 34 Provinces.
this number feels very less when compared to the number of villages in Indonesia which reached 83,447.
This means that the reach of
social counseling is still very limited, with a coverage of 1.12%.
According to Hasim, in the
future Puspensos will continue to work together with the Center for Social
Welfare Education and Training in an effort to accelerate the reach of social
outreach.
The Center for Social
Welfare Education and Training will also carry out Basic Training of Community
Social Extension Workers as a Pilot Project in seven Provinces.
Participants in this
activity numbered 184 functional social extension officers. came from the
Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs, Provincial / District / City Social
Services, Social Rehabilitation Center and Social Service Institution.
