Education Ministry and Assemblr Edu Create Space to Develop Digital Talent
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), together with Assemblr Edu and supported by Samsung and other partners, has launched ImajiNation 2026 as a space for pupils and teachers to develop creativity, imagination and the ability to use technology through digital projects.
At an event in Central Jakarta on Friday, Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu’ti said that mastery of technology must go hand in hand with human thinking skills and creativity.
He said technology should be used as a tool to develop people’s potential, rather than take control away from them.
“Technology must remain a tool. You must remain the masters of technology; do not become its servants or people who are so dependent on it that they cannot live without it. You must keep sharpening your brains and intelligence, with technology as an aid,” he said.
He also encouraged pupils to keep developing their imagination and curiosity, and to be willing to try new things.
“Those who win and those who do not should all keep smiling. You are all champions,” he said.
Kemendikdasmen Secretary-General Suharti expressed her appreciation to Assemblr Edu, Samsung and all the partners involved in the programme.
She said the collaboration gives pupils and teachers opportunities to develop creativity and creates more engaging and meaningful learning experiences through technology.
“Technological development brings both opportunities and challenges. Teachers and pupils therefore need not only to be able to use technology, but also to understand, apply and develop it appropriately,” Suharti said.
She explained that, through the collaboration between Kemendikdasmen and Assemblr Edu, supported by Samsung, belajar.id accounts give users access to various Assemblr Edu features.
Suharti reported that 16.9 million belajar.id users currently have access to the Assemblr Edu platform: five million active accounts belonging to teachers and education staff (GTK), and 11.9 million belonging to pupils.
She said ImajiNation 2027 is planned as a next step to widen access, develop communities and support digital talent.
The work of winners in the Edu-Innovators category is expected to be featured through Ruang Murid on the Rumah Pendidikan platform, where teachers and pupils across Indonesia can access and use it.
ImajiNation 2026 is one example of Partisipasi Semesta, an initiative to improve education quality through collaboration between government, businesses and education partners.
Through this collaboration, Kemendikdasmen hopes more pupils and teachers will have opportunities to develop their creativity, use technology wisely and produce innovative work that benefits their communities.
