        "summary": "Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf has outlined two pathways for graduates of the government's Sekolah Rakyat programme: continuing to higher education or becoming skilled workers. The policy, directed by President Prabowo Subianto, will use AI-based talent mapping rather than academic tests to determine students' future professions. The initiative targets children from vulnerable families registered in the National Socio-Economic Single Data system.",
        "content": "<p>Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf has stated that graduates of\nSekolah Rakyat (People\u2019s Schools) will be directed along two pathways,\nnamely continuing their education to higher education or becoming\nskilled workers according to their interests and talents, as part of the\ngovernment\u2019s effort to prepare superior human resources.<\/p>\n<p>During a visit to Bandung, West Java, on Thursday, Saifullah said the\npolicy is a directive from President Prabowo Subianto so that every\nSekolah Rakyat graduate has the opportunity to develop their potential\naccording to their respective abilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn accordance with the President\u2019s directive, Sekolah Rakyat\ngraduates are directed to two pathways. One, they can go to higher\neducation if they meet the requirements. The second, to become skilled\nworkers, both skilled workers domestically and skilled workers abroad,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the determination of students\u2019 educational or\nprofessional direction is not based on academic tests, but rather\nthrough talent and potential mapping conducted from the beginning of\ntheir education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there is no such thing as an academic test. What exists is a DNA\nTalent test. So every child here, as mentioned earlier, every child is\nvaluable, and we search for their talent, we search for their\nintelligence which is part of multiple intelligences. We use an AI-based\nDNA Talent test,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we already know what the talents of the children in Sekolah\nRakyat are, what their aptitudes are, and they will be directed. Later,\nwhen they are grown up, when they have graduated, the best profession\nmight be in the field of law, or in health, in engineering, or in other\nfields,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he mentioned that Sekolah Rakyat also equips students\nwith foreign language skills according to their interests as a provision\nfor continuing education or working domestically and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, at Sekolah Rakyat we will guide anyone who has an\ninterest in languages, whether Arabic, English, or also Mandarin and\nother languages, Japanese, Korean, as long as they indeed have the\ninterest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On that occasion, Saifullah said Sekolah Rakyat is intended for\nchildren from vulnerable families registered in the National\nSocio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN), especially those who have dropped\nout of school, are at risk of dropping out, are not in school, or have\nnot yet attended school at the appropriate age.<\/p>",
