Gerakan Indonesia Mengajar/GIM (Indonesia Teaches Movement) is a collective effort in fulfilling Indonesia founding fathers’ promise in declaring nation independence through spreading out quality education to all over Indonesia. Gerakan Indonesia Mengajar recruits and trains Indonesia's best graduates to be deployed to various remote areas of Indonesia to teach for one year in elementary schools. Gerakan Indonesia Mengajar does not simply encourage young people to become teachers. Through teaching experience, it also provides a means for these young people to learn about leadership as well as to sharpen their social awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by the country.
