Arrange Anti-Radicalism School Rules, Jambi Education Office Involve Densus 88 Satgaswil

Jambi - The Jambi Provincial Education Office (Disdik) has drafted a new anti-radicalism school rule as an effort to prevent the entry of deviant ideas in educational units that can affect the mindset of students.

"The preparation of the rules is in accordance with the governor's instructions regarding safe and comfortable schools that target students," said Acting Head of the Jambi Provincial Education Office Muhammad Umar in Jambi, Monday, quoted by Antara.

After the rules are completed, he said, they will be strengthened through the governor's instructions (ingub). The regulation will regulate students not to be involved in radicalism, including acts of violence and bullying.

In the future, he said, the regulation will involve the Jambi Regional Task Force (Satgaswil) Densus 88 Anti-Terror (AT) to protect students in Jambi from being exposed to radicalism, intolerance, and extremism.

According to him, the presence of the Densus 88 AT Satgaswil has so far had a positive impact on Jambi's educational institutions. In the future, this program will continue to be developed to prevent the transmission of deviant ideas in schools.

Furthermore, he said that since 2024, the anti-radical training program has been implemented by the Jambi Provincial Government (Pemprov), targeting school principals, teachers, and education personnel.

"This prevention of radicalism can be done as early as possible in the prevention of education units, we have conveyed to the School Head Working Conference (MKKS) to be followed up," he explained.

Jambi Governor's Expert Staff for Development and Economy Muktamar Hamdi said that one of Jambi's development missions is to strengthen the quality of Human Resources (HR) in the education sector.

Considering 2045, he said, Indonesia is expected to become a developed country. One of the conditions to achieve this goal must be through the development of quality, competitive and pious human resources.

The congress acknowledged that the government is currently faced with a situation that requires vigilance about intolerance. From that, he said, it is necessary to initiate early prevention in schools.

"Our effort is to educate teachers so that they are able to anticipate transmission so that it does not develop among our students," he said.
