Indonesian term or phrase: mengasah ketelitian
Seorang petugas kantor pos berkata:

"Hobi mengoleksi prangko atau filateli bukan hanya soal nilai jutaan rupiah, filateli juga akan memperluas wawasan dan mengasah ketelitian kita."

Apa ya, bahasa Inggrisnya mengasah ketelitian itu?

Thanks and best regards,

Explanation:
increases bisa diganti dgn develops atau kalau mau harfiahnya mengasah pakai "hones" atau "sharpens". Tetapi mengingat ini untuk bacaan anak-anak seyogyanya pakai vocabulary yang simple saja.

mengasah ketelitian kita
train/enhance our attention to details


Explanation:
Ketelitian dalam filateli biasanya merujuk pada perhatian akan rincian prangko (kebersihan, kelurusan/tidak terlipat, jumlah perforasi/gigi, kejelasan cap pos, dst) maupun pengolahannya (pelepasan lem, pengangin-anginan, penempatan di album, dst.)

Saya cenderung memaknai mengasah sebagai melatih atau meningkatkan. Pilihan: train/enhance. Bisa juga "exercise", tapi mungkin terlalu berat.
