West Java People's School II Targeted to Operate July 2026
The construction of Sekolah Rakyat Jabar II in Sukamahi Village, Central Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, has entered its final completion stage. Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) is optimistic that the boarding school concept will be operational by the 2026/2027 academic year.
This optimism was expressed following a specific working visit by Commission V of the DPR RI to the construction site on Friday (12/06/2026). During the visit, members of parliament directly inspected the construction progress being carried out by PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero).
The Vice Chairman of Commission V, Syaiful Huda, noted that the construction progress shows positive results despite a relatively limited timeframe. However, he emphasised that construction quality must remain the priority until the project is completed.
Commission V also requested that PT Brantas Abipraya and the Directorate General of Strategic Infrastructure of the Ministry of Public Works continue to monitor and supervise the work to ensure all tasks are completed according to the target.
During the visit, Commission V inspected several key facilities currently under construction, including classrooms, male and female dormitories, teacher flats, and kitchens. Discussions also covered spatial integration, considering that Sekolah Rakyat utilises a boarding school concept that will accommodate students from primary, junior high, to senior high school levels.
PT Brantas Abipraya Corporate Secretary, Dian Sovana, stated that the construction of Sekolah Rakyat Jabar II has now entered its final phase. According to him, all stakeholders are continuously accelerating work and maintaining strict supervision to ensure all facilities function optimally when the new academic year begins.
“We welcome the working visit of Commission V of the DPR RI as a form of support and oversight for the development of Sekolah Rakyat Jabar II. The feedback provided serves as motivation for Brantas Abipraya to maintain work quality while ensuring project completion meets the targets set by the government,” said Dian on Monday (15/06/2026).
Sekolah Rakyat Jabar II is designed to accommodate approximately 900 to 1,080 students divided into 36 study groups. This programme is part of the government’s efforts to provide free and high-quality educational access for individuals in decile 1 and decile 2, representing the poor and extremely poor groups.
In addition to expanding educational access, the presence of Sekolah Rakyat is expected to serve as a means to develop superior human resources through a learning environment integrated with adequate supporting facilities.
Dian noted that Sekolah Rakyat is a programme with a significant social impact as it opens educational access for those in need. Therefore, PT Brantas Abipraya is striving to ensure that construction adheres to established quality standards and time targets.
“As a state-owned construction enterprise, Brantas Abipraya is proud to contribute to the realisation of this programme and will continue to support the development of inclusive and sustainable educational infrastructure that provides long-term benefits for the nation’s future generations,” said Dian.
