        "summary": "The Indonesian government plans to allocate nearly Rp 1 trillion in 2026 for the revitalisation of approximately 1,600 schools in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), a threefold increase from the Rp 453 billion provided in 2025. This initiative, announced by Deputy Minister of Basic and Secondary Education Fajar Riza Ul Haq, forms part of a broader national programme to upgrade 71,000 schools, with a focus on damaged facilities in remote 3T areas. The funding will also support the provision of interactive digital boards to enhance teaching in multiple classrooms per school, underscoring the Prabowo administration's commitment to improving educational infrastructure.",
        "content": "<p>The number of school revitalisations, covering lightly, moderately,\nand severely damaged facilities in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) province, is\nconfirmed to increase in 2026. The value will nearly reach Rp 1\ntrillion. This was affirmed by Deputy Minister of Basic and Secondary\nEducation (Wamendikdasmen) Fajar Riza Ul Haq during a visit to SMK\nKesuma Mataram.<\/p>\n<p>Fajar stated that this year the government has allocated Rp 11.4\ntrillion for school revitalisation across Indonesia, from primary\nschools (SD) and junior high schools (SMP) to vocational schools (SMK)\nand senior high schools (SMA). \u201cThe funds will cover nearly 11,000\nschools throughout Indonesia, including NTB,\u201d Fajar said on Tuesday\n(14\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Specifically for NTB, Fajar mentioned that the number of school\nrevitalisations will be increased to around 1,600 schools. This figure\nis claimed to be an increase from 2025 or triple the amount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, last night I met with the Governor and we discussed this. He\nhopes that the revitalisation assistance for NTB can be increased this\nyear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For 2025, Fajar explained, NTB province only received revitalisation\nassistance of Rp 452.99 billion for repairing buildings of SD, SMP, SMA,\nand SMK. \u201cNow this year, the amount is tripled. So it could reach nearly\nRp 1 trillion or more,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Fajar assured that the central government\u2019s commitment to supporting\neducational development in NTB is clear. In addition to increasing\nrevitalisation funds, the number of interactive digital board aids will\nalso be increased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo not all schools will receive them, as it depends on the number of\nlearning groups in each school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Based on President Prabowo\u2019s instructions, Fajar stated that the\nschool revitalisation budget will be increased again for 60,000 schools\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus, hopefully this year there will be 71,000 schools revitalised.\nIncluding schools damaged in 3T areas. So, our focus is also on\nrepairing schools in 3T areas,\u201d Fajar said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, President Prabowo has also planned to provide\nadditional interactive digital boards (PID) for all schools that will\nundergo revitalisation. Thus, one school could receive three interactive\ndigital boards per school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they can be used by three learning groups simultaneously. The\nhope is that in the future every school classroom can use digital\nboards,\u201d Fajar emphasised.<\/p>",
