JAKARTA - PT Pelabuhan Indonesia or Pelindo held an educational program for Pelindo Teaching at SDN Pulau Panggang 2 Pagi, Pulau Pramuka, Kepulauan Seribu. The goal is to increase children's knowledge.
"Education and literacy are important foundations in building a young generation, especially in an archipelago that has its own challenges. This program is designed to stimulate students' curiosity about education and the future of work," said Pelindo's HR and General Director, Ihsanuddin Usman, in Jakarta, Friday, May 16.
The educational activity was held at the same time to commemorate National Book Day 2025 with the theme Gerbang Dream, Ocean Of Science: Pelindo Teaching for Island Children together with BUMN Bakti Volunteer Alumni, Young BUMN Pelindo, Mutiara Pelindo and Squadron Pelindo.
Involving hundreds of students from grades I to VI, a series of activities are focused on increasing literacy and providing a more feasible learning environment in the archipelago. Through this activity, Pelindo employees provide an introduction to the world of work through interactive stories about the profession in the port sector.
According to him, Pelindo does not only act as a port state-owned company, but also takes part in efforts to solve social problems in its operational area. This role is realized through the Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program, one of which is education.
A number of students were involved in painting murals with the theme of education, environment, and maritime affairs on the walls of the school. This creative process is guided directly by the teachers, students, and employees of Pelindo who attended. The mural displays messages such as Education is the key to the future' and Our sea, our lives.

Pelindo also renovated the school field with repainting. No less important, there is also a Dream Movement, an open reading angle equipped with a book cabinet and green area. The collection of books in this space comes from the BMP Ripple Kindness program, as a form of consolidation of the spirit of sharing for increased literacy.
The Pelindo Teaching Program is a superior company program that is often implemented through collaboration between SOEs, educators, and local communities in realizing inclusive and inspiring education.
"This activity provides additional learning experiences that they may not have had in class," said Ihsanuddin.
The administrative area of the Thousand Islands has its own challenges in providing educational facilities that are equivalent to the main mainland of Jakarta. SDN Pulau Panggang 2 Pagi is one of the few public elementary schools in the island cluster.
In addition to implementing the Pelindo Teaching Program, in the context of National Book Day, Pelindo also donated books to the Pondok Bambu Rutan library, which is the location for the Pelita Warna TJSL Program in 2024. At least more than 1000 books were donated to Pondok Bambu Detention Center which added to the choice of reading collections to increase reading literacy for inmates of the detention center.
