The Central Java Provincial Government has achieved the First Best\nMentor award at the 2026 National Selection for Traffic Safety and Road\nTransport Student Pioneers.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hope is that these student safety pioneers, whether they are\nwinners at the regency, provincial, or national level, will become true\nsafety leaders\u2014for instance, within their schools, residential areas,\nand families,\u201d said Erry Derlant, Head of Road Traffic at the Central\nJava Transportation Agency, in Semarang on Friday.<\/p>\n
According to Erry, the award is the result of a structured coaching\nprogramme for students, conducted progressively from the regency\/city\nlevel, through to the provincial and national levels.<\/p>\n
A notable outcome of this coaching is the achievement of Central\nJava\u2019s student representatives in the competition. Fulvya Nasywa\nMauliatuzzahra, a student from Al Azhar Sukoharjo High School, secured\nSecond Place through her scientific paper.<\/p>\n
The scientific paper was titled \u201cSmart Environment Noise Yard\nAutomatic Protector Based on AI and IoT for Controlling Non-Standard\nExhaust Vehicles\u201d.<\/p>\n
Erry stated that the student coaching is not merely aimed at\nachieving competition success, but also at encouraging these pioneers to\nact as traffic safety agents within their schools, families, and local\nenvironments.<\/p>\n
Coaching is also extended to early childhood through age-appropriate\neducational methods for kindergarten students. During these activities,\nchildren are introduced to traffic signs and pedestrian crossings using\nvarious learning media, including puppets.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to other students, we also engage kindergarteners using\npuppets. We teach the younger children to recognise traffic signs,\nidentify crossing points, and so on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
These facilities will be utilised to provide lessons to students\nregarding correct and safe driving practices. \u201cWe are currently testing\nthis in several schools. The minimum goal is for students to become\nfamiliar with correct and safe driving methods,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In the 2026 Traffic Safety and Road Transport Student Pioneer\nSelection, participants were assessed on several aspects. The evaluation\nincluded written tests on traffic and road transport, scientific papers\naccompanied by demonstration tools, participant activity, short safety\nvideos, and administrative completeness.<\/p>\n
Erry added that strengthening traffic safety education is crucial\nbecause accident fatality rates remain high, with a significant portion\nof victims belonging to the productive age group. Therefore, student\ncoaching is expected to increase understanding and foster safe driving\nhabits.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough our efforts in providing education and safety riding\nlessons, our hope is at least to minimise or reduce the number of\naccident fatalities,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/central-java-wins-best-mentor-award-for-traffic-safety-student-pioneers-1789743695", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
