Deputy Minister for Basic and Secondary Education: Revitalisation to improve quality of educational infrastructure
Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia’s Deputy Minister for Basic and Secondary Education (Wamendikdasmen) Fajar Riza Ul Haq has confirmed that the school revitalisation programme is improving the quality of educational facilities and infrastructure (sarpras) available at each school.
During a visit to inspect the results of the revitalisation programme at SMAN 2 Sukabumi in Sukabumi City, West Java Province, Deputy Minister Fajar noted that the revitalisation at the school had improved various facilities, ranging from classrooms, science laboratories, libraries, to school administrative offices, supported by approximately Rp1.4 billion in assistance from the central government.
“We want to ensure that this revitalisation programme truly provides benefits to schools, both for students and teachers. Improvements to infrastructure such as laboratories, libraries, and learning spaces are an important part of supporting a higher quality learning process,” Fajar said in a written statement in Jakarta on Monday.
He expressed hope that these facilities could support more interactive and technology-adaptive learning.
As a form of support for strengthening technology-based learning, the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education plans to add two technology-based learning devices to each educational unit this year.
On this occasion, Deputy Minister Fajar also emphasised the importance of synergy between the central government and regional governments in improving the quality of education.
According to him, educational development requires collaboration from various parties so that efforts to improve educational quality can proceed sustainably.
“We appreciate the support of regional governments that continue to work in synergy with the central government in improving the quality of education. This collaboration is important so that various programmes for improving educational quality can run more effectively,” he said.
