Bekasi, 10 October 2026 — SD Al Siddiq International held a Parenting Seminar and School Committee Inauguration on Saturday, 10 October 2026, at the school. The event, which took place from 7.30 to 10.00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), was attended by parents as part of the school’s efforts to strengthen collaboration between school and family in supporting children’s growth and development.
Under the theme “Raising Gen Alpha in a Digital Era: From Screen Time to Meaningful Time”, the event featured Dr Awaluddin Faj, M.Pd. as the keynote speaker. The seminar explored the importance of appropriate parenting approaches to guide Generation Alpha, the generation of children growing up amid the rapid advancement of digital technology.
In today’s digital era, the use of gadgets and access to various digital platforms have become part of children’s everyday lives. This presents particular challenges for parents, including managing screen time, selecting suitable content, and ensuring that technology benefits children’s learning and development.
Through this parenting seminar, parents were encouraged to understand the importance of active and responsible guidance when children use technology. Children need not only boundaries for using digital devices, but also parental involvement to help them devote their time to more meaningful activities, such as reading books, communicating with family members, engaging in active play, developing creativity, and building positive daily habits.
In addition to the parenting seminar, the event also marked the inauguration of the School Committee. This was an important step towards strengthening collaboration between the school and parents to create a positive, supportive educational environment focused on students’ development.
The School Committee is expected to serve as a bridge for communication and cooperation between parents and the school. Through the active involvement of all parties, educational programmes can be implemented more effectively and aligned with students’ needs across academic, character, social, and spiritual development.
SD Al Siddiq International believes that children’s education is a shared responsibility between the school and their families. Strong collaboration helps ensure that children receive consistent guidance, allowing the positive values instilled at school to be reinforced at home.
Through the Parenting Seminar and School Committee Inauguration, SD Al Siddiq International hopes that parents will feel better prepared to navigate the challenges of parenting in the digital era and create more meaningful interactions with their children. The event is also expected to mark the beginning of closer cooperation between the school and parents in providing meaningful education for future generations.
Together, we strengthen collaboration, guide children wisely, and prepare Generation Alpha to become a generation of strong character, outstanding achievement, and readiness to face the challenges of the future.
