JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Wamendikdasmen) Atip Latipulhayat ensured that assistance for smart screen learning devices or interactive flat panels was not only given to public schools but also private schools.

"All, all schools, both public and private, can be," said Atip when met by reporters at the Ministry of Education and Culture Office, Jakarta, Antara, Friday, September 26.

He emphasized that the exception only applies to schools that refuse the assistance.

"Everyone can, unless they refuse," he said.

Atip hopes that the technology assistance can accelerate the eradication of illiteracy in Indonesia while increasing digital literacy for children.

"With the help of this technology, we can accelerate the elimination or eradication of illiteracy, God willing," he said.

Previously, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said that the government would gradually provide smart digital screens in schools. Currently, only one one screen school is capable, but this year it is hoped that 330 thousand schools can get the device.

The provision of learning facilities is also expected to improve the quality of providing education in schools and overcome the limitations of teaching staff in the regions. The government plans to select the best 20 to 30 teachers for each subject that will deliver subject matter through a live broadcast from the central studio.
