Minister Inaugurates First School Revitalised Under President's PHTC Programme
The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Mu’ti, alongside the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Pratikno, has inaugurated the revitalisation of SDN Cimahpar 5 in Bogor City. This school is the first recipient of the Quick Win Programme (PHTC) in the education sector, directly authorised by the President.
Minister Mu’ti stated that this primary school was the first to receive direct assistance from the President’s Education Unit Revitalisation programme during the 2025 National Education Day (Hardiknas) celebrations, marked by a groundbreaking ceremony.
“The President has messaged for you to be diligent Indonesian children; you must become great children. Have noble and high ambitions. Do not be inferior, do not be fearful, and do not give up easily just because you are not from Jakarta or not from the city. You must be confident, because you all possess capability,” said Minister Mu’ti in Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday.
He explained that the school received revitalisation funds amounting to Rp 2.6 billion, which are being used to construct several new rooms and rehabilitate existing ones using a self-managed mechanism involving the local community. The new additions on the second floor include five classrooms, one school health clinic (UKS) room, and one bathroom. Meanwhile, the rehabilitation of older sections covers five classrooms and one administrative room.
On this occasion, Coordinating Minister Pratikno expressed his appreciation for the revitalisation results, viewing the programme as part of the Government’s efforts to enhance the quality of superior human resources.
“Under the President’s administration, superior human resources must be continuously improved, specifically in health and education quality. In the field of education, there are many programmes, such as Interactive Flat Panels (IFP), school revitalisation, and many others,” said Pratikno. He expressed hope that improvements would not stop at infrastructure alone but would also extend to the quality of learning.
As background, during the 2025 National Education Day celebrations on 2 May, President Prabowo Subianto launched four education programmes under the Quick Win Programme (PHTC) at SDN Cimahpar 5. These four programmes include school rehabilitation, education digitalisation, assistance for honorary teachers, and educational support for teachers who have not yet attained D4 or Bachelor’s degree qualifications.
