        "content": "<p>In the meeting, Ari shared his experience of meeting students at the\nPeople\u2019s School in Papua. According to him, the encounter was deeply\nmeaningful as some students were moved to tears at the opportunity to\nreturn to school. \u201cWhen we were at SRT 75 Papua, we talked with them,\nand some even cried because they were so touched to be able to attend\nthe People\u2019s School,\u201d Ari said in a written statement on Friday\n(1\/5\/2026). Ari added that the children there were delighted to be\nattending school and affirmed his readiness to support the People\u2019s\nSchool programme, particularly in Papua. \u201cWe are ready to participate,\neven in the mountains,\u201d he emphasised. This is because many school-age\nchildren in the area face difficulties in accessing education or even\nlack uniforms; now they can experience education at the People\u2019s School\nwith superior facilities. \u201cThey even provide underwear,\u201d Nia said,\nquoting one of the students there. \u201cSome even asked when the President\nwould visit here,\u201d she added. Meanwhile, Agus Jabo explained that the\nPeople\u2019s School is a programme from President Prabowo to break the\ntransmission of poverty through education. \u201cThe children are schooled,\ntheir parents are empowered, and even their homes are built,\u201d said Agus\nJabo. Agus Jabo gave the example of Nayla, a People\u2019s School student in\nMakassar, whose home and surroundings were built through the proceeds of\na recent Rolls-Royce auction. \u201cThis People\u2019s School is a golden bridge,\u201d\nhe stated. Additionally, Agus Jabo explained that the students at\nPeople\u2019s Schools have various characters, meaning some require special\nhandling. \u201cThe Ministry of Social Affairs has centres for\nrehabilitation, so if children need it, rehabilitation can be carried\nout first before they return to school,\u201d he concluded. For information,\nthere are currently six pilot People\u2019s Schools in Papua: SRMA 29\nJayapura, SRT 75 Jayapura, SRMA 41 Biak Numfor, SRMA 42 Sami, SRT 77\nMerauke, and SRT 78 Mimika.<\/p>",
