History
On 25 March 1953, Br. Joseph Haeken, S.J., opened a sawmill and workshop in Kaju Gardens, Kebun Kaju, Indonesia. It produced and repaired wood furniture for churches, monasteries, and schools, employing 23 people. On 30 May 1963 Br. Paul Wiederkehr, S.J., from Switzerland, a woodworking expert, came to Fraser Kaju to set up a two-year technical school in woodworking. It was officially established as the Canisius Foundation on 10 November 1968 and called School of Mechanical Gardens Kaju (STKK). Then on 30 July 1971 the name changed from STKK to PIKA (Wood Top Education Industry). PIKA consisted of two phases with the second a production unit, and offered four years of training.
In 1973 another two-year program was initiated, Level II, which after 1985 operated only every second year to assure better quality students. Level I trained machine operators while Level II added production managers.
In 1991 the "Center for Training and Development for the Timber Industry" (PPPIK) opened at PIKA, offering a seminar program for employees, craftsmen, and vocational teachers. In 1992 the "Institutions of Interior Design" (LPDI) opened with a two-year study period, accepting each year 20 vocational school graduates gifted at drawing, as a bridge between architects and workers in understanding drawings and wood construction.
On 5 June 2000 Br. Paul Wiederkehr, S.J., handed the direction over to Joko Tarkito, S.J, with deputy director Warno Tribowo, S.J. The school has achieved a wide reputation for woodworking design[2] and ranks among the best in Indonesia.[3]
UNESCO–UNEVOC report
PIKA offers a four-year course for about 120 apprentices, and a two-year course for 30 foreman trainees. About six are enrolled in a year-long course for teachers, and another for teaching modern technologies to employees from industry. Diploma students spend their fourth year making furniture which helps subsidize the running ofthe school. The PIKA curriculum includes both general and vocational subjects. Since about one quarter of the students come from socially disadvantaged families, the school has a number of associations that bring together students, parents and teachers for discussion of social issues.
PIKA offers courses in woodworking, textile processing, and typing at Wikrama Putra orphanage in Ngalien, and offers services to the needy free of charge, as at the Java Save the Children (SOS) children's village.
Ministry of Education has had PIKA devise some curricula for Indonesia's lower secondary technical schools. PIKA has published 16 textbooks for on wood technology, drafting, and furniture design.
The chief foreign aid groups supporting PIKA's work have been from the Dutch and Swiss, with continuing education for teachers offered by these countries. Further aid for construction and expansion came from Misereor and the Zurich based Franz Xavier Foundation, along with aid from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development.[4] 6°58′23.11″S 110°25′0.55″E / 6.9730861°S 110.4168194°E
