North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda appreciates the acceleration of the construction of the People's School (SR) in West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku, which is considered to show significant progress.
When reviewing the project site, Sherly asked that all work be completed on time so that the school is ready to be used in the 2026/2027 school year.
The visit was one of several reviews that Sherly conducted during the construction process.
His presence reflects the commitment of the North Maluku Provincial Government (Pemprov) in overseeing the completion of the national priority program together with PT Hutama Karya (Persero) as the construction manager.
During the review, Sherly saw firsthand the progress of the construction of the Junior High School (SMP) building, including the learning and teaching activity room which has been equipped with electrical installations and furniture arrangements.
The completion of the room serves as a reference for the quality of other room completion, as well as showing a much more advanced development compared to previous visits.
Sherly expressed appreciation for the acceleration of development carried out by Hutama Karya, but reminded that the target for completion must be balanced with the quality of work and safety aspects.
"We appreciate Hutama Karya's performance which is able to spur development quickly. Our hope is that all work can be completed according to target, so that it presents safe, comfortable and ready educational facilities for our children to learn," said Sherly quoted from a written statement, Saturday, July 4.
Acting Executive Vice President (EVP) Secretary of Hutama Karya Hamdani said the company continues to ensure that every stage of work is carried out according to quality and safety standards.
"We ensure that every job is completed according to standards. The completion of the learning and teaching activity room complete with electrical functions and furniture arrangement is our reference to complete all rooms consistently and on time, so that they are ready to use in the new school year," said Hamdani.
SR Halmahera Barat is designed as an integrated residential education area for children from pre-prosperous families.
In one area, there will be educational facilities, student housing and other supporting facilities that are integrated to support the learning process as well as character development.
In this program, the selection process of students and the implementation of education are the responsibility of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos), while Hutama Karya is in charge of building school infrastructure.
During the construction, the project also involved local workers, so it also moved the economic activities of the community around the location.
Hutama Karya emphasized that it would continue to maintain the acceleration of development through the optimization of resources and strengthening coordination in the field so that all work could be completed according to target.
The company hopes that the educational facility can immediately be utilized by the community as part of support for President Prabowo Subianto's priority program in expanding access to education for pre-prosperous families.
