BOVEN DIGOEL – A junior high school-level quiz bowl transpired at the main hall of TSE Corporate University on Monday (5/11/2026) to honor National Education Day and support education improvements in Boven Digoel.
Testing local students on subjects like math and general knowledge, “Bersama TSE Group, Generasi Cerdas Indonesia Emas” (With TSE Group, Smart Generation, Golden Indonesia) strived to maintain fair play and sportsmanship.
Quiz bowls go beyond sharpening academic abilities — they also build character, said TSE Group’s General Manager, Daniel Sim Ayomi. By providing these healthy competitive experiences, the company seeks to help learners develop critical thinking, a sense of teamwork, and self-confidence.
“Quiz bowls are long-term investments, in that they foster critical reasoning skills, attention to detail, collaboration, and a strong mentality among young people, our future generation,” added Ayomi at the event.
Recognizing the power of education to equip youth against challenges, TSE Group continues to bring impactful educational programs to children in Boven Digoel and the company’s other locations.
That Monday (5/11/2026) was particularly thrilling, with teams laser-focused on answering questions while showing strong teamwork and public speaking.
Martinus Rangga, a teacher from Jair Public Junior High (SMPN Jair), said the event created a fun learning environment that also boosted the drive to learn and grow.
