Pangkep, JurnalPost.com – School Supervisor Nasvar Irwandi, S.Pd., M.Pd, held a meeting and provided guidance to the staff of UPT SMP 4 Minasa Tene and UPT SD 60 Bung, Pangkep Regency, on Wednesday, August 26, 2026.
The meeting was attended by the principals of UPT SMP 4 Minasa Tene, UPT SD 60 Bung, and UPT SD 28 Mangilu, alongside educators and administrative staff. The event served as a momentum to strengthen communication, synergy, and a shared commitment to improving the quality of education in the supervised schools.
Nasvar Irwandi stated that school supervisors are essentially partners to principals, teachers, and educational staff in ensuring that the educational process runs effectively.
“Fundamentally, school supervisors are our colleagues. We are partners in safeguarding the quality of education in Pangkep Regency in general, and specifically in the schools under our guidance,” said School Supervisor Nasvar Irwandi, S.Pd., M.Pd, on Wednesday (8/26/2026).
He emphasized the importance of building a working relationship without barriers between supervisors, principals, and teachers. According to him, open communication creates a more comfortable work environment while supporting the smooth flow of the learning process.
“Please let us establish cooperation. There should be no barriers, because if there are barriers, we are not comfortable working, and that can disrupt the learning process at school,” he said.
School Supervisors as Partners to Educational Units
During the meeting, Nasvar explained the shift in the working patterns of education supervisors. Supervisors today no longer focus solely on specific subjects but instead provide comprehensive support to educational units.
Consequently, a supervisor may support educational units ranging from kindergarten to junior high school, depending on the division of tasks and applicable authority.
Nasvar hopes that principals and teachers will not hesitate to communicate if they encounter problems within the school environment. Issues that arise should be communicated and addressed together before being escalated to a higher level.
“Whatever the form of the problem, I hope it can be communicated to the supervisor first. God willing, we will help and work together to find a path toward a better outcome,” he said.
He believes that coordination is a key element in creating healthy school management. Supervisors, principals, and teachers have different responsibilities but share the same goal: improving the quality of educational services for students.
Encouraging Teachers to Keep Pace with Developments
Nasvar also reminded educators to keep up with developments in educational regulations. He believes every new policy needs to be understood openly and implemented according to the conditions of each educational unit.
He cited the evolution of learning methods, which continue to undergo refinement. Many new approaches are based on principles already applied by teachers but have been redeveloped to meet modern educational needs.
“Whatever the regulation, there is always a positive side. We need to understand and adapt because the development of education is constantly moving forward,” he said.
According to Nasvar, technological progress provides greater opportunities for teachers to improve their competence independently. Learning materials, teaching methods, and information regarding educational policies can now be studied through various digital platforms.
“Do not let the changing times pass us by while we fail to upgrade ourselves. Wherever we serve, including in highland areas, competence improvement must continue,” Nasvar asserted.
Network Access as a Challenge
During his visit, Nasvar highlighted the conditions of schools located in highland areas, which face unique challenges, including access to telecommunications and internet networks.
He noted that technological advancements make network availability increasingly important in supporting administration and the learning process in schools.
He hopes that the schools, together with all relevant stakeholders, can find solutions gradually to improve educational support facilities.
“If our workplace is comfortable, we will certainly be more comfortable working. I am sure the principals already have plans and hopes to improve facilities, including the network. This is our shared homework,” he said.
From Teacher to Supervisor
On this occasion, Nasvar also shared his career journey with the educators.
He began his service as a Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) teacher in Bantaeng Regency after being appointed in the 2008 intake. He served at SD 30 Lembang-lembang, Uluere District, before moving to Pangkep Regency.
In Pangkep, Nasvar served at SD 2 Leang-leang, Bungoro District, for approximately nine years. He was subsequently entrusted with the role of principal at an elementary school in Pangkajene District.
Nasvar is also an alumnus of the National Teacher Mobilizer (Guru Penggerak) Program Batch 3 and was among the first batch of Teacher Mobilizers in Pangkep Regency. After serving as principal for about 13 months, he underwent a competency test for a position transfer and was subsequently appointed as a school supervisor.
He stated that this experience serves as a reminder that every educator must continue to learn, even after attaining new positions or responsibilities.
“Wherever we are, we must continue to learn and upgrade ourselves. Hopefully, through this meeting, we can instill the mindset that I can be better than I was today,” concluded Nasvar Irwandi, S.Pd., M.Pd.
The meeting is expected to be the beginning of strengthened collaboration between supervisors, principals, teachers, and educational staff in creating an adaptive, communicative, and quality-oriented learning environment.
