AMRI Provides Learning Access on the Coastline to Support the People's School Programme
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian People’s Youth Wing (AMRI) is supporting the People’s School programme of President Prabowo Subianto’s government through a social activity titled “AMRI Cares: Building an Educational, Innovative, and Sustainable Coastal Ecosystem” in the Cilincing Coastal Children’s Park area, North Jakarta.
General Chairman of the Indonesian People’s Party (PRI) Muhammad Nazaruddin stated in Jakarta on Monday that the activity is part of PRI and AMRI’s commitment to supporting the government’s major agenda in literacy and equitable education.
He explained that the activity serves as AMRI’s contribution to strengthening literacy among coastal communities while supporting the human resource development (HRD) agenda that aligns with the direction of Prabowo’s government policies, particularly in bolstering the People’s School programme.
“Indonesia’s development cannot be separated from improving the quality of human resources. What we are doing here is a concrete example of how civil society movements can synergise with the state, especially in strengthening literacy and providing learning access for children in coastal areas,” said Nazaruddin.
This also aligns with President Prabowo’s grand vision in promoting the People’s School as a solution for inclusive education.
The programme is designed as an integrated intervention, not only targeting education for coastal children but also strengthening the economic capacity of fishermen’s families.
Meanwhile, AMRI General Chairman Davon Arjunaidi appreciated the implementation of the activity and emphasised the importance of sustaining cadre-based social movements.
According to him, AMRI must pioneer a youth movement that is not only responsive but also solution-oriented.
The AMRI Cares programme is an initial step in building a coastal ecosystem that is strong not only economically but also intellectually smart.
Meanwhile, AMRI General Secretary Darleen Arjunaidi conveyed the community’s enthusiasm as evidence that programmes based on real needs are greatly needed in coastal areas.
“We directly saw how enthusiastic the children were with the arrival of the library and learning activities. This is not just a ceremonial event, but the beginning of a sustainable movement. AMRI will ensure continuous support, so that the benefits are truly felt in the long term,” said Darleen.
She added that the AMRI Cares activity in Cilincing is expected to serve as a model for community-based social movements that can be replicated in various coastal regions of Indonesia.
With collaboration between youth organisations, communities, and support for government policies, efforts to build a more inclusive and competitive Indonesia are believed to be achievable in a tangible manner, she said.
