Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2013 During the first two years of President\nPrabowo\u2019s administration, the government has continued to improve the\nquality of national education through the revitalisation of education\nunits and the digitalisation of learning.<\/p>\n
The two programmes form part of efforts to provide better education\nfacilities and make teaching and learning more adaptable to\ntechnological developments. Minister of Primary and Secondary Education\nAbdul Mu\u2019ti said revitalisation and digitalisation were means of\nachieving higher-quality education.<\/p>\n
\u201cRevitalisation and digitalisation are not ends in themselves, but\nmeans of achieving quality education,\u201d Mu\u2019ti said, as quoted on Thursday\n(29 October 2029).<\/p>\n
In 2025, the revitalisation programme reached 16,167 education units,\nexceeding its initial target of 10,440. It benefited more than 4.2\nmillion students across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The programme covered education units in 38 provinces and 514\nregencies and municipalities. Improvements to facilities and\ninfrastructure are expected to create safer and more comfortable\nlearning environments for students and teaching staff.<\/p>\n
Revitalisation has also had an economic impact on communities. Its\nimplementation has involved micro, small and medium-sized enterprises\n(MSMEs) and workers, meaning that the construction of education\nfacilities has also created opportunities for local economic\nactivity.<\/p>\n
The government is continuing and expanding the revitalisation\nprogramme in 2026, prioritising schools in need of facility and\ninfrastructure repairs. These include education units with severe\ndamage, schools in disadvantaged, frontier and outermost (3T) regions,\nand schools affected by disasters.<\/p>\n
The 2026 revitalisation target is 51,744 education units nationwide:\n11,744 under the initial allocation and an additional 40,000 to be\nfunded in two phases.<\/p>\n
The expansion is intended to ensure that more schools have adequate\nfacilities to support teaching and learning. The government also needs\nto ensure the programme is implemented according to schedule and local\nneeds.<\/p>\n
The 2026 target is expected to improve the safety and comfort of\nlearning for 8,453,369 students across 38 provinces, 514 regencies and\nmunicipalities, and 6,481 districts throughout the country. By 28\nSeptember 2026, revitalisation assistance had been distributed to 38,586\neducation units.<\/p>\n
Digital Learning Reaches Hundreds of Thousands of Education\nUnits<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2026, the government is continuing to expand school revitalisation\nand encouraging the use of technology in classrooms. The aim is to\nimprove education quality not only through building repairs, but also by\nstrengthening the learning process.<\/p>\n The government is bolstering digital learning by providing schools\nwith technological equipment. In a progress report in September 2026,\nthe Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education said that around 289,000\neducation units had received digital learning equipment since 2025,\nincluding Digital Interactive Boards (PID), or interactive flat panels\n(IFPs), laptops and external storage devices.<\/p>\n The PID is expected to help teachers present material more\ninteractively and give students greater opportunities to participate\nactively in learning.<\/p>\n \u201cThe presence of PID helps everyone acquire knowledge, makes the\nlearning process more engaging and encourages creativity through\ninteractive methods,\u201d Mu\u2019ti said.<\/p>\n The provision of digital equipment needs to be accompanied by\nelectricity and internet access, as well as improvements to teachers\u2019\nskills. This will ensure that technology is not merely available in\nschools, but is used effectively to support learning.<\/p>\n School revitalisation and digital learning are complementary efforts.\nRevitalisation provides a more suitable learning environment, while\ndigitalisation broadens teaching methods and supports the use of\ntechnology in classrooms.<\/p>\n Through the two programmes, the government is seeking to improve the\nequitable provision of education services across regions, including\nareas with limited infrastructure.<\/p>\n The programmes\u2019 success will be measured not only by the number of\nschools repaired or devices distributed, but also by the benefits\nstudents and teachers experience in their day-to-day learning. Stronger\ninfrastructure and the use of technology are expected to provide a\nfoundation for improving education quality and expanding learning\nopportunities for Indonesian children.<\/p>",
