Jakarta - After being opened to the public on a religious holiday, the Presidential Palace began to be opened to schoolchildren. This was conveyed by the Cabinet Secretary (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 7.
Teddy said this step was a direct instruction from President Prabowo Subianto as part of an effort to instill great ideals to the younger generation from an early age. According to Teddy, the activity is not just a normal visit.
But, children are invited to discuss, ask questions, tour the palace, get to know the history of the nation, to see the rooms where important decisions of the country were taken. Added Teddy, President Prabowo wants children to see the symbols of the country directly and understand that the place is not a space far from the people.
He associated this program with Prabowo's focus on developing the younger generation. Teddy said the current government is running a number of programs such as nutritious meals, school and toilet renovations, digital television installation for learning, people's schools, integration schools, Garuda schools, and incentives for teachers.
The visit program, said Teddy, will not stop in Jakarta. All presidential palaces in various regions will also be opened for schoolchildren. Indonesia has eight presidential palaces, and each will be used for similar programs.
Schools from outside Jakarta, including outside Java, are said to be able to register through the Ministry of State Secretariat or the Cabinet Secretariat office. Teddy said there was no special selection for a certain level.
SD, SMP, SMA, and other schools can register and will be arranged by the committee. The visit is planned to take place in turns, once or twice a week.
