Moving in tandem with the Indonesian government’s measures to implement better standards of education nationwide through the allocation of a larger portion of its 2015 Revised State Budget, Chitose Internasional Tbk stands ready to provide educational institutions across the country with high-quality school furniture. Well-known as one of Indonesia’s leading furniture manufacturers, Chitose’s key strengths in supplying products that offer long-term value and user comfort are evident in its comprehensive line of desks and chairs, which have long been favoured by local schools and universities alike.

Under the provision of the National Education System and Law No. 14/2005 (“Teacher Law”), the Ministry of Education and Culture is set to receive 20% of government spending and will thus receive 46.8 trillion IDR in total funds based on the 2015 Revised State Budget. President Joko Widodo’s administration has reiterated the need to reform the country’s education system through his ‘100 Promises’ initiative in which he has actively advocated for the construction of new classrooms, school units, and school renovations to be realised during his term. As Indonesia seeks to reform the education sector, the demand for high-quality school furniture is set to increase to serve larger numbers of students in new schools and classrooms. Chitose – through its extensive collection of competitively priced desk and chair sets that now includes models of adjustable height to cater to different age groups – is primed to support this drive to provide local students with educational facilities of the highest quality.

Chitose’s willingness to play a central role in supporting Indonesia’s education sector goes beyond the manufacture of durable school furniture. The company regularly carries out CSR programs to donate desks and chairs to schools in dire need of better equipment (See Chitose Conducts CSR Program in Makassar) and also provides scholarships to its employees’ children enrolled in primary and secondary school.
