He expressed his hope that both participants and trainers would give their best during the training. The “Smart Counting” program, utilizing the GASING method, supports the implementation of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia’s Asta Cita program, specifically by driving educational transformation through the development of high-quality, productive, and competitive human resources.
Furthermore, this program contributes to improving digital literacy, serving as a foundation for strengthening the national digital economy.
Telkomsel acts as the network provider supporting the digital learning process. The program also involves the Gasing Academy as the provider of methods, materials, and mathematics instruction; Sacred Octagon (by INA AI) as the game-based learning platform; and Kuncie (via SkulPintar) as the training and assessment platform.
The “Smart Counting” program, based on the GASING method, began with a 45-day mathematics training course for 2,832 teachers in the Humbang Hasundutan district. Following the training, these teachers will instruct 44,592 primary and secondary school students in mathematics using the GASING method. Students will undergo a pre-test to assess their initial proficiency in mathematics.

The duration and subsequent instructional materials will be adjusted based on the pre-test results. The program aims to train students in mathematics with a target score of at least 90.
This score is measured against PISA standards (Mathematics, Science, Reading) as well as additional components—Language and General Knowledge—tracked on the National Dashboard.
Dr. Yohanes Surya, founder of the GASING method, added: “We hope that children in Humbang Hasundutan will develop skills that surpass the national average, aiming for a score of 90. This will significantly improve the quality of education for both students and teachers.
Telkomsel’s support through interactive learning tools and games contributes greatly to a fun learning experience while also enabling measurable tracking of student and teacher progress,” he said.
