Bali, Indonesia – The evolving landscape of education in Southeast Asia continues to highlight the importance of adaptive leadership and innovation. A prominent example of this momentum was recognized on June 14, 2025, at The Trans Resort Hotel, Bali, where Isna Shobirin, CEO of Nusantara Learning Center (NLC), was awarded the #1 Indonesia Most Recommended Award 2025 during the 6.0 Award Trends Summit, hosted by Indonesia Award Magazine.
NLC’s rise mirrors a regional trend: the emergence of homegrown institutions that blend traditional values with modern pedagogy. Initially launched as a private learning initiative, NLC has evolved into a nationally respected center focused on holistic student development, data-based performance tracking, and cross-cultural learning exposure.
The leadership of Isna Shobirin has been central to NLC’s success. His strategic vision combines personalized instruction with emotional intelligence and digital fluency. The institution has helped hundreds of Indonesian students gain placement in competitive academic programs, both locally and abroad. It also runs outbound programs such as international homestays and English immersion camps.
“Quality education today is defined by relevance and resilience,” Isna stated during his acceptance remarks. “We aim to produce not just high-achieving students, but emotionally intelligent leaders for tomorrow.” His perspective resonates with growing ASEAN-wide efforts to foster education systems that nurture both intellect and character.
The summit’s host, GP Rajasa Pranadewa, emphasized NLC’s forward-thinking model. “In a region rapidly adapting to global demands, institutions like NLC are setting the benchmark for educational leadership and long-term societal contribution,” he said.
This recognition signals not just individual excellence but an institutional model worth observing as Asia navigates a new chapter in education. NLC’s roadmap includes expanding its footprint across Indonesia and potentially into other Southeast Asian markets, addressing rising demand for values-driven, globally aware education.
