"What does that mean, since I was not from a conglomerate family. Early in the morning before school I sold cakes. Half an hour before going to school, my mother didn't sell well, my mother told me to go home, meaning that my parents prioritized education," he said. Meanwhile, the Regent Satono said that the Sambas Regency Government is trying its best to create an educated young generation.

"Our commitment is to improve the education sector, both religious education and formal education. One of the efforts is to design a Progressive School. Later when it is ready we will launch it.
