Taman Siswa

Taman Siswa is an Indonesian educational movement founded in 1922 by Ki Hajar Dewantara, aimed at promoting national culture and independence through education. It emphasizes the importance of local traditions, values, and history, encouraging students to develop a strong sense of identity and patriotism. The movement advocates for accessible, inclusive education that nurtures critical thinking and creativity, moving beyond colonial schooling methods. Taman Siswa played a key role in fostering Indonesian nationalism and empowering the nation’s youth during the country's struggle for independence.
