Governor Ganjar Pranowo could not hide his emotion when he came to SMKN Central Java in Pati Regency. He met a candidate for master painting there.

Ganjar went straight to the Central Java SMKN complex on Jalan Tlogowungu, Margorejo District, after meeting village heads in Pati Regency Pendapa. When he arrived, there were not many activities carried out by students outdoors.

"Where is this class?", said Ganjar when he met one of the teachers there.

The teacher then took Ganjar to a building that turned out to be a painting practice workshop. A number of students accompanied by practitioners, were seen repairing and painting car body parts.

The former member of the DPR RI then had a dialogue with the students. Most of them are originally from Pati, with parents working as laborers and farmers. There are also parents who work odd jobs. That's where Ganjar meets students who are experts in painting.

"It turns out, what are your dreams? I want to be master painting, wow great. How many times have you practiced? Ten times more. I'm so happy," said Ganjar.

Their enthusiasm made the Governor with white hair touched. Moreover, hearing that they have aspirations that do not stream like master paining, because they feel proficient in the painting field. There are also those who want to become entrepreneurs.

"The student is enthusiastic, I am very happy and she understands how to prepare herself to look to her future," said Ganjar after reviewing.

Regarding the uniform complaint, Ganjar emphasized that it would be sent immediately before December ended. Currently, said Ganjar, it is in the procurement process.

"In my opinion, this is important, so the principal must have a trigger, don't just accept it, if that's the case, report it because we have budgeted everything," said Ganjar, Saturday, December 10.

The governor who initiated the free boarding school program was also happy. Because students have a good personality and always remember their parents.

I am touched by the children, if you get the first salary for whom? All for parents. This is how on average the parents of workers, farmers, farmer laborers, traders in the market, mobile vendors, hopefully benefits," he said.

One of the students of SMKN Central Java from Pati, Muhammad Umar Kahfi Pradana, did not expect to receive a visit from Governor Ganjar Pranowo. Umar said that even though the uniform had not gone down, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of his study.

"I want to convey that we as a family can't afford it, thank Pak Ganjar for providing this school for free, free of charge," he said.
