JAKARTA - The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek) received an audience with the Regent of Rokan Hilir together with Commission X of the Indonesian House of Representatives regarding the proposed construction of the Garuda School in Riau Province.
Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto emphasized that every proposal for the construction of the Garuda School would be processed carefully and submitted to the President of the Republic of Indonesia, in accordance with the instructions that planning be carried out in detail and continuously.
"I am very happy, the President Prabowo's Fast Best Result Program (PHTC) on the Garuda School has received support from the Rokan Hilir local government and members of Commission X of the DPR RI," Brian said in a statement in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, January 29.
The proposed location for the Garuda School construction has an area of approximately 161 hectares. Part of the land has been used for public facilities, while the rest is still available and is considered potential for the development of the education area.
A number of supporting facilities have been available at the proposed location, ranging from educational buildings, dormitories, cross-religious worship facilities, to sports facilities. The existence of these facilities is said to be an added value in the development of an integrated education area.
In terms of accessibility, the location is considered increasingly strategic with the support of toll road infrastructure that can reduce travel time. This condition strengthens the prospects for the development of an integrated and sustainable education area.
During the meeting, it was emphasized that the Garuda School program was designed as a long-term policy, not a short-term project.
The government also emphasized that the determination of the location of the Garuda School prioritizes the principle of equitable development of education, with priority for regions outside the island of Java. In this context, the Riau Province is considered to have great opportunities to become one of the locations for the development of the Garuda School in the future.
