Please help with my Career Plan Question for Chevening :)

the plan for my career



Indonesia's literacy level is still considered low compared to other countries. As reported by The Jakarta Post (2016), Indonesia ranks 60 most literate nations. The issue becomes worse when we discuss Indonesia's academic literacy. Academic literacy can be defined as one's ability, not only to read and write, but more than that to be able to communicate one's ideas. I believe this is the reason of Indonesia's being left behind other more developed countries.

Regarding my long-term career plan, I would like to contribute more to improving Indonesia's academic literacy rate. This issue cannot be seen as a simple problem. This needs a person that is committed to working in this area. A lot of programmes should be held starting from empowering the teachers, preparing facilities to support students' reading habits, and providing educational reading materials. However, Indonesia's children do not only need materials to read, they should also be accustomed to sharing their ideas in order to foster their academic literacy.

As what I mentioned in my Studying in UK part, I plan on founding an organisation A to facilitate teachers to develop themselves. Helping them understand the concept of academic literacy and making them aware of its importance is one of the most crucial agendas my organisation has. The teachers in my organisation will then implement this concept in their own working places. Hopefully, this can foster both teachers and students' academic literacy.

Because my longer-term plan needs a considerable period of time to achieve, in the meantime I would work on my short-term plan. Specifically, my short-term plan upon returning home would be to teach in a university majoring in English education. Teaching those teachers-to-be will be one of many ways to promote teachers' awareness towards the importance of academic literacy. In addition to that, enabling those teachers-to-be to master the academic literacy themselves is even more vital before they are able to teach their students in the future.

Based on what I acknowledge from the United Kingdom's initiative to strengthen South East Asia countries, especially Indonesia, in Science and Innovation field to collaborate scientifically, I presume my plan on improving Indonesia's academic literacy will be supportive to this programme. Being able to do research and make science innovations would not give any contribution if what has been researched cannot be communicated to the public well. That is why my contribution to nourish Indonesia's academic literacy is important to realise with the help from Chevening scholarship.

Theodora, you do not assume that your ideas for your career will fall into place with the UK initiatives in your country. You have to be sure. Be definite as to the UK project you will work with and how that will become a reality. Since the UK project seems to be focused on the STEM field, you may need to do some extensive research into a particular project that could tie in directly with your literacy initiatives. If the project doesn't tie in with your plans, then you need to figure out how to make that happen. You can't just throw in the idea just to fulfill the prompt requirement. Your honest desire to collaborate with the UK initiatives will be vital to the final consideration of your application. Additionally, you are not allowed to repeat information in this essay. If you already mentioned it in the Study in the UK part, you cannot repeat that information here. Find some other relevant information to replace it with. Chevening constantly repeats that instruction across the essays. There is to be absolutely no duplication of information across the essay discussions.
