BOVEN DIGOEL – On Friday (9/3), TSE Group continued its student outreach program, Social Education, at Asiki Subvillage in Jair District, Boven Digoel Regency. This Corporate Social Contribution initiative aims to encourage and educate young Papuans through fun, interactive activities.
At its latest edition, multiple schools in Asiki received one-day classes on character building, environmental conservation, and other topics related to current issues.
Social Education is part of TSE Group’s commitment to ensuring people development, according to TSE Group’s General Manager, Daniel Sim Ayomi. To the PR team, he highlighted that education is central to regional progress.
“We believe the future of a community rests in the hands of their youth. That’s why we made Social Education; it’s to bring local students that motivation to learn [and create change].”
Soon, the program was met with praises from educators, including Ruvinus Nemokai, the principal of Boven Digoel Public High 3 (SMKN 3 Boven Digoel) — one of the partner schools for Social Education. Nemokai said he’s seeing the effects in his students.
“This supplementary lesson had a positive impact on our kids, not only academically but also mentally. They were energized and encouraged,” he said. “We hope to see more events like this. They address the fundamental need of accessing high quality, enjoyable education.”

Laughs and smiles filled the rooms where the lesson sessions and a comprehension quiz were held. Twelfth grader Sarah Ita, who joined the class at Asiki Public High, shared her impression.
“I thought the class would be boring and too serious, but it’s actually fun. There’s a game and winners get prizes. My friends and I were glad to be a part of this.”
Social Education demonstrates that TSE Group not only focuses on business, but also on creating lasting social impact in South Papua, mainly through educational initiatives. (PR)
