        "summary": "The Indonesian government has announced plans to revitalise 71,744 schools across the country in 2026, a significant expansion from an initial target. The programme, covering renovations from kindergarten to senior high school, is expected to generate approximately 1.1 million jobs through a community-managed implementation scheme. The initiative aims to improve education quality while simultaneously boosting local economies, particularly in frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged regions.",
        "content": "<p>Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu\u2019ti announced\nthat the government is targeting the revitalisation of 71,744\neducational units throughout Indonesia in 2026. The programme\nencompasses the renovation of school buildings, from kindergarten to\nsenior high school level.<\/p>\n<p>Abdul Mu\u2019ti explained that the figure represents an increase from the\noriginal plan. Initially, the government targeted the revitalisation of\n11,744 schools with a budget of Rp14 trillion. However, the government\nsubsequently committed to adding 60,000 educational units, bringing the\ntotal target to 71,744 schools.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that approximately 70 percent of the initial target of\n11,744 schools has already been completed. Some are expected to be\nfinished by July or August and can be inaugurated for the start of the\n2026\/2027 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>Abdul Mu\u2019ti further stated that the revitalisation programme has a\nbroader impact beyond merely improving educational facilities and\ninfrastructure. According to government studies, the programme also\ncontributes to the local economy. The revitalisation is carried out\nthrough a self-managed mechanism, meaning the construction and\nrenovation processes are directly executed by each educational unit.\nThis scheme is considered effective in encouraging local community\ninvolvement and expanding employment absorption in the regions.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 1.1 million people will be employed to work on the\nrevitalisation of the 71,744 schools, with work periods ranging from\nthree to eight months. The programme has received a positive response\nfrom communities, particularly in frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged\nregions. During his visits to these areas, Abdul Mu\u2019ti noted that school\nadministrators and students greatly appreciated the programme, which\nreflects the President\u2019s commitment to improving the quality of\neducation in both public and private schools across Indonesia.<\/p>",
