WIKA Accelerates Construction of Sekolah Rakyat in Central Java
PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk, known as WIKA, is accelerating the construction of ‘Sekolah Rakyat’ in Central Java as part of its support for the government’s programme to provide more equitable access to education. The project, which falls under the Ministry of Public Works (PU), is spread across four regencies: Banyumas, Wonosobo, Brebes, and Cilacap.
The construction of these schools is one of the government’s efforts to provide decent, inclusive, and accessible educational facilities, particularly for communities in need of better learning access. This programme aligns with the ‘Asta Cita’ of President Prabowo Subianto, specifically the fourth pillar, which focuses on strengthening human resource development through improved access and quality of education.
Through this project, WIKA serves as the construction partner, delivering educational infrastructure that focuses not only on physical completion but also on long-term social benefits for the community.
WIKA’s Corporate Secretary stated that the acceleration of the ‘Sekolah Rakyat’ construction in Central Java is part of the company’s commitment to supporting the Ministry of Public Works in delivering infrastructure that has a direct impact on the public.
“WIKA fully supports the Ministry of Public Works’ efforts to provide decent and equitable educational facilities through the construction of Sekolah Rakyat in Central Java. With the readiness of labour, materials, equipment, and on-site acceleration strategies, WIKA is committed to maintaining work progress to ensure completion according to target and to provide immediate benefits to the community,” said WIKA Corporate Secretary, Ngatemin, in an official statement on Wednesday (10/6/2026).
As of early June 2026, the progress of the ‘Sekolah Rakyat’ construction in Central Java continues to show development. The Banyumas Regency project has reached 76.22%, followed by Wonosobo at 56.32%, Cilacap at 49.46%, and Brebes at 47.61%.
Currently, on-site work is proceeding in parallel, ranging from substructures and superstructures, steel roof frames, roofing, architectural finishing, to Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) works. Overall, the construction across the four regencies involves 4,483 workers.
To ensure the project remains on schedule, WIKA is implementing several acceleration strategies at each project site. These strategies include increasing the workforce, optimising heavy equipment, accelerating material mobilisation, expanding stockyards and warehouses, and adjusting work methods to ensure greater efficiency.
In the Banyumas Regency project, acceleration was achieved by increasing the workforce from 1,200 to 1,700 people, increasing mobile cranes to 14 units for steel roof erection, and ensuring 100% material availability on-site by 7 June 2026. Additionally, access road work has been 100% completed to facilitate mobilisation.
In Wonosobo Regency, WIKA increased the workforce from 1,100 to 1,200 people, added excavators, hiab cranes, and concrete pumps, and increased the number of batching plant suppliers from two to four. WIKA also implemented a change in method, using bondek slabs instead of traditional second-floor slabs to accelerate structural work.
Meanwhile, for the Brebes Regency project, acceleration involved increasing the workforce for steel erection to 320 people, as well as adding mobile cranes, excavators, dozers, and pumps. WIKA also accelerated the delivery of 2,250 tonnes of steel structures and 13,183 m² of HCS material to support smooth operations.
In Cilacap Regency, WIKA increased the workforce to 1,200 people, added tower cranes, mobile cranes, excavators, and pumps, and increased the number of batching plant suppliers from three to six. The steel fabrication process is being decentralised across six locations to ensure a faster and more efficient material supply.
All ‘Sekolah Rakyat’ projects in Central Java are targeted for completion by 20 June 2026. Through these acceleration efforts, WIKA aims to ensure optimal construction so that these educational facilities can be utilised by the community as soon as possible.
With the construction of ‘Sekolah Rakyat’, WIKA continues to strengthen its role as a government partner, particularly with the Ministry of Public Works, in delivering social infrastructure that supports educational equality and the improvement of Indonesia’s human resource quality.
