These conditions were marked by many Christian schools in various region in Indonesia were closed.

In response to the conditions above, Dr. Vishal Mangalwadi and Dr. Iman Santoso suggested the need to set up ICT Learning Centers in many regions to open the access for the youth to get qualified education untill higher education. Besides studying, they can also be involved in nation project building which although started ini micro scale but has the leverage to transform many aspect of their community life. E-learning is a learning system which is considered can adress their needs. By e-learning, they can learn and get many resources of leaning eventhough they live in remote ares.

Prof. Dr. Lobby Loekmono reminded that the legal force for distance learning system which was based on Information and Communication Technology (e-learning) was still not clear. He advised that TRAMPIL started its acitivities in 2010 by firstly assissting the in-service Christian teachers (especially Early Childhood Education and Primary Teachers) to earn their bachelor degree in education as required by the Law No 14 of 2015.

In 2010, TRAMPIL was in cooperation with Vision and Mission Education Foundation and Mitranet started the pilot project and set up an ICT Learning Center in Indonesia Christian Chuch in Jombang. The Early Childhood Education and Primary Teachers from Petra Christian School in Jombang and its surrounding areas became the participants of this project.

Dr. Takim Andriono, TRAMPIL’s Chairman, even got the opportunity for two weeks training and learn how to organize education through e-learning at the University of the Nation, in Kona-Hawaii, USA.
