JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) through the IKN Infrastructure Development Implementation Task Force revealed that the groundbreaking or laying of the first stone phase 6 in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) is planned for June 4-5, 2024.

"Our sixth groundbreaking plan was just to have a meeting tonight, but the initial information I received was June 4 and 5," said Head of the IKN Infrastructure Development Implementation Task Force Danis Sumadilaga in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Saturday, June 1.

According to Danis, the groundbreaking in the capital city of Nusantara is managed by the IKN Authority.

"This is the sixth groundbreaking, hopefully more and more groundbreaking will be carried out at IKN," he said.

For information, the sixth groundbreaking in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) in May this year is targeted for educational projects.

IKN is planned to be built as a city to work, be habitable, recreation areas and gain education.

Thus, the ecosystem in IKN becomes complete as a city to work, be habitable, recreation areas and gain education.

For information, based on Appendix II regarding the IKN Main Plan in Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the State Capital states that the basic principles of education in KIKN as a whole will be directed at the concept of 21-century education which is in line with the vision of education at KIKN, namely building the best educational ecosystem to meet the needs of future talents in the economic cluster and being an example for higher education providers and improving living standards.

The direction of planning, concepts and education strategies in the IKN Region (KIKN) is based on several considerations, namely intervention at the vocational level is very important to meet the talent needs of new economic clusters because about 60 percent of the projected work in 2045 is vocational.

Then it is important to increase the availability of advanced tertiary education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and management to support the needs of growth and innovation in future economic clusters.

And high-quality K-12 education is the main criterion for attracting the interest of moving domestic and foreign citizens and becoming a prerequisite that must be in IKN.
