Regardless of their academic backgrounds, the participants displayed strong enthusiasm for teaching English and used creative methods to enhance student engagement. The program enabled them to apply their academic knowledge in real teaching environments, contributing over three hours of instruction per week. The data revealed that most of the respondents identified the substantial positive effects of Kampus Mengajar Batch 6, particularly in stimulating change in students' literacy and numeracy skills. Meanwhile, the program encouraged substantial contributions to the Indonesian education system, with the respondents asserting transformative influences on their professional development as well as on the institutional capacity of partner schools.
