Many people think that the pandemic will brings a setback, but SEMPOA SIP Indonesia sees it from a different perspective. The pandemic is an opportunity to develop a new paradigm and lots of exciting way to learn abacus.

As the saying goes, life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.
Starting from the online Coach Program. We continuously and consistently hold training, upgrading teachers to improve their teaching competence. First, to arouse the enthusiasm of coaches in teaching, we held a coach event by organize a National Coach Competition and Teacher Proficiency Test. Second, we also invite speakers who are experts in child development to provide our teacher with new insight. Even though abacus plays an important role in the development of a child's brain potential, its a challenge to keep student stare at their gadget and make them not feel bored. That’s why we some interesting, educative online learning program.
