        "summary": "The Indonesian government is extending its digitalisation efforts in education to remote 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) regions following successful implementations in Java. In Nusa Tenggara Timur, tools like the Rumah Pendidikan super app, Digital Interactive Boards (PID), and Starlink access have boosted student engagement and improved evaluation scores at schools such as SMPN Wederok in Malaka Regency. This initiative reflects a modern paradigm shift towards flexible 'learning' over traditional 'schooling', supported by nearly 3,000 edtech developers across ministries to foster a collaborative ecosystem.",
        "content": "<p>DIGITALISATION of learning continues to be expanded by the\ngovernment. After Java Island, including West Java, the focus is now\ndirected towards 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) regions.\nOne example is located in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province (NTT).\nDigitalisation from the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen) has successfully attracted attention and achieved\nimprovements in student evaluation scores. Theobaldus Banafanu, an IPS\nteacher at SMPN Wederok in Weliman Subdistrict, Malaka Regency, said\nthat the presence of the Rumah Pendidikan super app, Digital Interactive\nBoard (PID), and Starlink access since the beginning of this year has\nsparked enthusiasm in the teaching and learning process for 139 students\nat his school. The Rumah Pendidikan super app is provided by the\nPusdatin of Kemendikdasmen, while the PID and internet access are\nthrough the Directorate of Secondary Schools, Directorate General of\nEarly Childhood Education, Basic Education, and Secondary Education.\n\u201cPreviously, textbooks were limited. So if they held a book, students\ncouldn\u2019t see what it looked like. Now with the PID since January 2026,\nteachers can simply browse to show the actual appearance of what\u2019s being\ndiscussed. In essence, we teachers and students are facilitated in\neverything in the classroom,\u201d he said. As a result, said the teacher who\nhas been teaching since 2019, his students\u2019 weekly exam results have\nstarted to show an increase. If previously the class average was around\n60, now it has reached an average of 75-80 because students better\nunderstand the teaching material. This is considered reasonable because\nit aligns with the digital native character of the students. Even though\nthey come from 3T areas, with the majority of parents being corn, rice,\nand copra farmers, most are already familiar with smartphones. Head of\nthe Data and Information Technology Centre of the Ministry of Basic and\nSecondary Education (Pusdatin Kemendikdasmen) Yudhistira Nugraha said\nthat the example in NTT is proof of the spirit of the current\nKemendikdasmen paradigm, which aims to change the concept of schooling\nto learning. \u201cThis mindset change makes learning no longer limited to\nthe classroom, but can take place anywhere and anytime. With the\nlearning approach, the learning process can be done anywhere and\nanytime,\u201d he added in Bandung on Thursday (19\/3). According to him,\nafter the mindset change, ongoing collaboration is needed next. Because\nthe number of learning technology developers in Indonesia reaches nearly\n3,000 people spread across various ministries and institutions, thus\nforming an ecosystem if they know and strengthen each other.<\/p>",
