Prabowo At The G20 Summit Calls The Largest Allocation Of The State Budget In The Education Sector

President Prabowo Subianto said the largest allocation of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) in education was to get people out of poverty.

"In my budget, I spend a very large percentage on education. Because I believe education will get us out of poverty," President Prabowo said in a statement in the first session of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 19.

In front of the audience of G20 member countries, President Prabowo emphasized that for countries such as Indonesia, overcoming poverty and hunger is very important for the national interest.

Therefore, Prabowo places the largest portion in the APBN for education.

According to the Head of State, education can bring a better life to society and especially get it out of poverty.

In addition to education, the President also emphasized that the free nutritious food program for children is very important for the government's strategy in alleviating hunger and poverty.

"Free food for our children is an important part of our strategy. This is also part of empowering our young generation to understand the benefits of education," said Prabowo.

The President is also optimistic that the government can overcome hunger in Indonesia, which is currently recorded as as many as 25 percent of children in Indonesia are starving every day.

In addition, President Prabowo is committed to overcoming food shortages within three years, achieving food self-sufficiency in four years, and contributing to the global alliance in fighting poverty and hunger in the next five years.
