DPR Member: School Revitalisation Shows President’s Commitment to Education

Padang (ANTARA) – DPR RI member Andre Rosiade has highlighted President Prabowo Subianto’s commitment to education through the school revitalisation programme being implemented across Indonesia.

“About 70,000 schools have been revitalised so far, and the target is 80,000 by the end of the year,” Andre said during a visit to Padang, West Sumatra, on Thursday.

He said the schools benefiting from the programme are spread across Indonesia, including 1,000 in West Sumatra.

Andre, who is deputy chair of Commission VI of the DPR RI, said the programme demonstrated President Prabowo’s support for education.

“Go and see for yourselves in the field: this programme shows the President’s commitment to education while also preparing human resources,” he said.

The legislator from West Sumatra added that the benefits of the revitalisation programme extended beyond improvements to school buildings, helping to stimulate the local economy as well. Unlike typical government projects, the work is not carried out by contractors but through self-management.

In other words, he said, the schools themselves carry out the revitalisation work in partnership with nearby communities, helping to circulate money within the local economy.
