        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has launched a national programme to revitalise vocational schools and digitalise learning, with 389 schools across eastern Indonesia receiving infrastructure improvements and 1,972 schools equipped with interactive digital panels.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen) has adopted the Educational Unit Revitalisation and\nLearning Digitalisation Programme as a major strategy to improve\neducational access and quality across Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis programme is a major strategy to enhance equitable access and\nquality, in order to prepare a competent and competitive generation,\u201d\nsaid Director General of Vocational Education, Special Education, and\nSpecial Services Education at Kemendikdasmen, Tatang Muttaqin, in\nJakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2025, the revitalisation programme has been implemented\nnationally, including across eastern Indonesia (KTI). A total of 389\nvocational schools in Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and Papua have\nreceived phased interventions with a combined budget exceeding 649\nbillion rupiah.<\/p>\n<p>The programme addresses not only physical infrastructure\nimprovements\u2014such as student practice rooms, classrooms, sanitation\nfacilities, and supporting amenities\u2014but also tackles serious challenges\nin eastern Indonesia, including limited facilities, inadequate building\nconditions, difficult geography, restricted transportation, and extreme\nweather. The objective is to create schools that are safe, comfortable,\nand capable of supporting quality teaching and learning.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, the Learning Digitalisation Programme has reached 1,972\nvocational schools in the same region through the distribution of\nInteractive Flat Panels (IFP). This technology transforms learning into\nmore interactive, contextual, and deep experiences, enabling students to\naccess broader learning resources and participate actively.<\/p>\n<p>The principal of SMK Gotong Royong Tobelo in North Halmahera, North\nMaluku, Petronela Baranyanan, reported significant changes at her\nschool. \u201cInitially, learning was teacher-centred. After the IFP arrived,\nstudents became more enthusiastic about exploring topics, presenting\nresults, and engaging in group discussions. They could create visuals\ndirectly on the IFP, making learning more vibrant and contextual,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>A similar approach is being applied through the concept of Deep\nLearning, which emphasises meaningful understanding rather than mere\nmemorisation. Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Atip\nLatipulhayat emphasised that deep learning provides information whilst\ninspiring students, enabling them to contextualise material\neffectively.<\/p>",
