JAKARTA - President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring the quality of education is evenly distributed throughout Indonesia. He made this statement when he launched the Learning Digitization program for Smart Indonesia.

"No part of Indonesia should be left behind in the quality of education," Prabowo said in an interactive session via Zoom with 1,337 schools from 38 provinces at SMPN 4 Bekasi City, West Java, Monday, November 17.

The launch of the program is a new milestone in the digitization of national education. To date, 75% of schools in Indonesia have received interactive panels as a learning tool. Prabowo called this achievement a good start because it provides access to learning materials that are faster, more attractive, and equal for all students.

"Alhamdulillah, this panel can help all students to learn better, faster, and have access to all the necessary knowledge," he said.

In a dialogue with the representative of the Teacher of SDN 50 Banda Aceh, Prabowo received a report that digital interactive boards make classes more enjoyable.

"Thank you Mr. President for this interactive board assistance. The children are very enthusiastic and learning becomes much more interesting," said a teacher from Banda Aceh when asked for an opinion by Prabowo.

He emphasized that the government's target is 288,865 schools in Indonesia to receive digital learning devices this year, while reminding that the delivery of equipment to difficult areas should not be forced.

"We use technology leaps. This program is one of the largest in the world, extraordinary," he said.

Prabowo recalled that sometimes sending this interactive panel must go through motorboats to villages. "The important thing is that the quality of education from kindergarten to high school cannot be lost to any education in the world," he continued.

After the adhan zuhur break, Prabowo resumed interactions with schools in various regions. Prabowo greeted students and teachers from North Sumatra, Riau Islands, Madura, Bali, South Kalimantan, to Papua.

Prabowo closed the interactive session with a firm message regarding the government's priority in eradicating corruption to support the future of education.

"The government that I lead will improve all schools in Indonesia. Education issues are investments in the nation's future," he concluded.
