President Prabowo Subianto has revealed that Indonesia\u2019s digital\neducation innovation received an award from the International\nTelecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, placing the\ncountry first out of 122 nations in the e-government and digital\neducation category. He stated that this is proof that Indonesia\u2019s\ndigitalisation of education is increasingly recognised globally.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have just received good news from the UN. The International\nTelecommunication Union gave the highest award to us, Indonesia, out of\n122 countries in the e-government and digital education categories,\u2019\nPrabowo said during a briefing at a plenary cabinet session at the State\nPalace in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n
The recognition refers to the World Summit on the Information Society\n(WSIS) Prizes held on 9 July 2026. Indonesia, represented by the\nMinistry of Primary and Secondary Education, won first place in the\ne-government category through the \u2018Rumah Pendidikan\u2019 (Education House)\nprogramme.<\/p>\n
Rumah Pendidikan is an application that provides various educational\nservices on a single platform. Through the application, students can\naccess learning materials, while teaching staff can exchange ideas and\nshare thoughts with fellow educators.<\/p>\n
Prabowo said the application greatly assists students in accessing\n4,843 free learning materials and supports teaching staff in\nunderdeveloped, frontier, and outermost regions. He noted that the\napplication currently has 6.9 million users.<\/p>\n
\u2018This award from the UN proves that our education digitalisation is\nrecognised by the world. We are leaping forward, we are leaping\nforward,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Prabowo reminded his entire administration not to\nbecome complacent. According to him, the journey to improve the quality\nand equity of national education is still long. Therefore, the\ngovernment will remain committed to accelerating education\ndigitalisation so that communities in underdeveloped and outermost\nregions can access the best quality education.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Prabowo said the government will distribute 700,000\ninteractive digital panels by the end of 2026 or the first half of 2027.\nThis addition will allow every school to have three extra interactive\nscreens. \u2018What does this mean? It means that our children and our\nteachers throughout Indonesia have access to the best learning\nmaterials,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/indonesia-tops-un-digital-education-ranking-prabowo-says-1784555693", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
