Hydro-meteorological disasters that struck Aceh, North Sumatra, and\nWest Sumatra at the end of last year also affected educational\nfacilities in the three provinces. Data from the Post-Disaster\nRehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force (Satgas PRR) records 4,922\naffected educational facilities.<\/p>\n
Aceh is the region with the highest number of affected educational\nfacilities, with 3,120 units. In North Sumatra, there are 1,149 affected\nunits. Meanwhile, West Sumatra recorded 653 affected units.\nNevertheless, the teaching and learning process in the three provinces\nis now running at 100%.<\/p>\n
Most classrooms have been successfully restored by Satgas PRR. Aceh\nrecorded 3,046 units of educational facilities that have resumed\nlearning in their original classrooms. In North Sumatra, 1,133 units of\neducational facilities have also resumed learning in original\nclassrooms. West Sumatra recorded 640 units of educational facilities\nthat have returned to learning in original classrooms.<\/p>\n
The Post-Disaster Acceleration Task Force for Rehabilitation and\nReconstruction in Sumatra (Satgas PRR) is also continuing to restore\nclassrooms so that decent educational facilities can maintain students\u2019\nlearning enthusiasm, who are still conducting learning in tents,\nemergency classes, or borrowing other schools.<\/p>\n
Head of Satgas PRR Tito Karnavian acknowledged that there are still\nless-than-ideal conditions experienced by students for learning. He\nrevealed that efforts to restore educational facilities are continuously\ncarried out by the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education Abdul\nMu\u2019ti. In fact, there is already a cooperation agreement between the\nMinistry of Basic and Secondary Education and parties that will renovate\neducational facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Minister of Basic and Secondary Education stated that more than\n1,000 educational facilities already have cooperation agreements for\nrepairs. However, he uses a priority scale, with the severely damaged\nones done first,\u201d said Tito in a written statement on Tuesday\n(31\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the enthusiasm to continue learning is also\nexpressed by students in the affected areas. One of them is Nuraiche, a\nstudent at SMA Negeri 2 Meureudu, Pidie Jaya. Even though her school is\nstill affected by the disaster, the 12th-grade student claims to remain\nenthusiastic about returning to school. She and her friends are now\nfocused on preparing for the Class End Examination (UKA) scheduled for\n13 April.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still studying as usual because we also have exams,\u201d said\nNuraiche.<\/p>\n
Deputy Principal for Curriculum Affairs Hasanah explained that even\nin emergency conditions, exam preparations are still ongoing. A total of\n92 12th-grade students will take the exam covering 14 subjects. The\nschool has provided exam grids to students as a study guide. In\naddition, intensive material discussions are conducted with the help of\nclass guardians and additional tutoring programmes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have held tutoring sessions so that students\u2019 preparations are\nmore optimal,\u201d said Hasanah.<\/p>\n
The limited conditions do not become an obstacle for the students to\ncontinue learning. Their determination to graduate becomes the main\nmotivation to keep struggling, proving that the spirit of education\nremains alive even in the midst of disaster.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/accelerating-renovation-of-disaster-affected-school-facilities-to-maintain-students-learning-enthusiasm-1774968691", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
