        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Transmigration is seeking collaboration with the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to integrate the 'Relawan Mengajar' volunteer teaching programme into the 2026 Patriot Expedition Team (TEP) initiative. The TEP programme deploys academics to develop economic potential in transmigration areas, while the volunteer scheme aims to provide educational support for out-of-school children. The partnership would also extend to renovating school facilities, including toilets and teacher housing, in transmigration and underdeveloped regions.",

Deputy Minister of Transmigration\nViva Yoga Mauladi stated that the first phase of the TEP programme,\nwhich involves young Indonesian academics addressing problems and\ndeveloping economic potential in transmigration areas, was carried out\nin 2025 with participants from seven partner state universities. This\nyear, the programme will dispatch bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, and doctoral\ndegree holders, as well as professors, from 10 partner state\nuniversities and 157 domestic and international universities, including\nthe University of Melbourne, the University of Glasgow, and King\u2019s\nCollege London. \u201cIt is within this scope that the Relawan Mengajar\nprogramme can be synergised,\u201d he said. He also offered the education\nministry the opportunity to introduce the Relawan Mengajar programme\nduring a briefing session for 1,476 selected TEP 2026 participants,\nplanned for the end of July. Beyond TEP, Viva Yoga noted that school\nfacility renovation is another Kementrans programme that could be\ncollaborated on with the education ministry. He explained that his\nministry has already renovated toilets at two educational institutions\nin Gorontalo Province: SDN 10 Pulubala in Pulubala District, Gorontalo\nRegency, and SDN 14 Sumalata in the Sumalata Transmigration Area, North\nGorontalo Regency. Meanwhile, SD Inpres 13 in the Prafi Transmigration\nArea, Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province, received assistance for\nclassroom, toilet, and clean water facility renovations. \u201cWhat\nKementrans has done is expected to improve the education process for\ntransmigrant children and other children residing in transmigration\nareas,\u201d the Deputy Minister said. He added that tens of thousands of\neducational institutions, from early childhood education to senior high\nschool levels, require construction or renovation of proper toilet\nfacilities, and there are also proposals to build official residences\nfor teachers. The ministry hopes to establish inter-ministerial\ncooperation to address these issues, particularly in schools within\ntransmigration and frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged (3T)\nregions.<\/p>",
