        "content": "<p>Natuna (ANTARA) - The facilities for the Integrated People\u2019s School\n(SR) 32 in Natuna Regency, Riau Islands Province (Kepri), are scheduled\nto begin construction in May 2026 by the central government. The Head of\nSR Integrated 32 Natuna Bumi, when contacted from Natuna on Tuesday,\nstated that Natuna Regency is one of the areas in the Riau Islands that\nis ready for the implementation of this construction. According to him,\nthis readiness is demonstrated by the provision of a special plot of\nland by the Natuna Regency Government in the area of the Grand Mosque\nBaitul Izzah Complex. He explained that the new academic year for the\nPeople\u2019s School will begin in July 2026, in line with the general\neducation calendar. However, the permanent building is estimated not to\nbe ready for use at the start of that academic year. Nevertheless, the\ngovernment has prepared a solution to ensure that teaching and learning\nactivities continue, as the currently available classrooms are estimated\nnot to accommodate the number of new students. In line with central\ngovernment policy, the number of students to be recruited is 90 per\nlevel. Thus, the total number of new students in Natuna is estimated to\nreach 270, considering that the People\u2019s School covers education levels\nfrom primary school to high school. As a temporary solution, portable\nclassrooms will be built while waiting for the permanent building\nconstruction to be completed. \u201cOur target is to recruit around 100\nstudents from primary to high school levels. We want each learning group\nnot to be too crowded, around 20 to 25 students per class,\u201d he said. He\nadded that teaching and learning activities at the Natuna People\u2019s\nSchool actually began in 2025 with a total of around 70 students from\nall levels. The details consist of one primary school learning group,\ntwo junior high school learning groups, and one high school learning\ngroup. Currently, teaching and learning activities are still utilising\npart of the facilities at the Natuna Hajj Dormitory. In the future, for\nthe accommodation needs of new students, the school will utilise rooms\npreviously used by People\u2019s School teachers at the Hajj Dormitory.\nMeanwhile, teachers will be provided with temporary accommodation\noutside the dormitory area. \u201cFor the time being, rooms at the Hajj\nDormitory will be used for students. As for the teachers, we will find\naccommodation for them outside while waiting for the new facilities to\nbe completed,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
