JAKARTA - Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen), Prof. Dr. Abdul Mu'ti M.Ed., supports Jasa Raharja and Korlantas Polri's efforts to increase public awareness of traffic safety.

Mu'ti welcomed Jasa Raharja's initiative, he is well aware of the importance of Jasa Raharja's steps in compiling the traffic education curriculum as an integral part of the national education system.

Jasa Raharja's President Director, Rivan A. Purwantono, explained that Indonesia still faces major challenges with the high number of traffic accidents. Every year, thousands of lives are lost, and many victims suffer serious injuries that have a significant impact on the economic life of the community.

In the 1970s, Japan was once one of the countries with the highest number of accidents. However, through effective education, they succeeded in building a traffic safety culture, so their accident rate is now very low," said Rivan, in an official statement received on Saturday, January 11.

According to Rivan, traffic safety education must start early, especially from the elementary school level. Children need to be provided with an in-depth understanding of the importance of road safety so that in the future they will grow up to be responsible drivers. This is the main reason Jasa Raharja, together with the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Police, integrates traffic safety education into the learning curriculum from elementary to high school levels.

At the age of 64, Jasa Raharja's real action was not only aimed at creating a generation that was aware and responsible on the road, but also became part of Jasa Raharja's strategy in carrying out preventive and preventive steps to change people's behavior.

"We are committed to continuing to innovate and collaborate with various parties to ensure that every traffic accident gets quick and proper treatment. Currently, Jasa Raharja has been integrated with 508 Polres and 1,062 Polsek throughout Indonesia," added Rivan.

Rivan said that Jasa Raharja's digital transformation not only accelerates services, but also allows demographic mapping of accident victims.

"Data shows that 68.2 percent of accidents in Indonesia are caused by traffic violations, with victims dominated by productive age," he explained.

With a vision of transformation until 2029, Jasa Raharja continues to strengthen collaboration and innovation to create a safer environment for all road users. This strategic step is expected to be an important milestone in reducing the number of traffic accidents in Indonesia, as well as creating people who are more concerned and responsible for driving safety.
