JAKARTA - The Presidential Staff Office (KSP) confirmed that the implementation of the National Integrated School (SNT) is a strategic intervention of the state to provide quality education evenly. This program is designed so that access to quality education is close to the community, including in areas that were previously difficult to reach.

Head of KSP, Dudung Abdurachman, conveyed that the start of the first SNT class was a new milestone for the Indonesian education world. SNT is present as a pioneer in the implementation of integrated education that stretches from the western region of the island of Sumatra to Papua.

"This integrated national school is not merely the construction of physical infrastructure, but a strategic intervention of the state in providing quality education that is close to the community to all corners of the country," said Dudung at the opening of the First Generation SNT School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS) in Bogor Regency, West Java, Monday.

Presidential Priority Program Mandate

Dudung added that the presence of SNT is an important benchmark in improving and equalizing the quality of education throughout Indonesia. His party is committed to fully monitoring President Prabowo Subianto's priority program so that it can be realized without obstacles.

"A golden opportunity to measure the increase and equalization of quality education for all regions of Indonesia through the presence of SNT. KSP has a direct mandate to ensure that the President's priority programs are realized without obstacles," he said.

However, the success of the development and implementation of SNT does not only depend on the synergy between the central and regional governments. According to him, strong commitment from all parties is needed to ensure that every child gets a quality education.

The Importance of Character Education and the Role of Pioneer Teachers

To the first-generation students of the SNT, Dudung advised that they use this opportunity to develop their potential and dare to dream high without forgetting character education.

He emphasized that the mastery of science and achievement must go hand in hand with honesty and good character. In that way, students can grow into an intelligent generation that has social and environmental concerns.

On this occasion, the KSP also expressed appreciation to the school principals and educators as the front line of education.

Dudung hopes that teachers and principals at SNT 7 Bogor and 16 other SNT locations are able to become driving forces and catalysts for change for the surrounding community. According to him, the role of teachers is crucial in recognizing the unique potential of each student.

"The classroom is not only a place for the process of teaching and learning or delivering materials, but it is a witness to how the future of Indonesian children is beginning to be formed," concluded Dudung.
