Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo has a solution so that there will be no more student brawls. This follows the recent brawl.

Ganjar conveyed this in commemoration of World Children's Day, Rembug Konco, Kids Take Over, which was held via hybrid, and monitored virtually. The event was held by the Central Java Provincial Women and Children Service, in collaboration with Unicef Indonesia.

"That's why there are school students, running to attack other schools using sharp weapons. What is the problem? Ganges. A little bit hit, offended," said the governor in his speech as quoted from the provincial government's official website.

According to Ganjar, his party cannot be permissive about the matter. If you fight in the boxing ring or become a boxing athlete, you can. Or also, extracurricular activities, may, even be given a place. So the emotions can be directed to sports. Not with violence that then hurts each other. Moreover, to carry sharp weapons.

The brawl that occurred is currently under investigation. Information circulating, the action involved alumnus. So, said Ganjar, alumnus must be invited to communicate.

"Schools that may have such stories, invite them to reunite. We involve them to solve this problem," he said. Ganjar supports child activists to those related, to jointly voice the action of Come on Jogo Konco. Then, this sentence was implemented.

"We don't want every school, every region, there are children's police and not monitoring children's behavior. But, every time a child can become a police officer, to be a pioneer, set an example, provide literacy to simultaneously become a reporter, not afraid," he said, Sunday, December 11.

By reporting on actions that are not good for children, explained Ganjar, the relevant agencies will help. But important, reports should not be slandered, and should not be afraid. In fact, it can also report using an application, or direct calls. For officers, they are also not allowed to disclose the report.

If this can be given, then a lot of things can be resolved. Because at first they were afraid. Because maybe the perpetrators, sorry, at school, the teacher himself, are not just friends. The teacher himself. If we already know this problem, let's make it happen (to handle it), if necessary, we will measure it later. We make indicators, that something is not going well," he explained.

Ganjar appreciated the theme of commemorating World Children's Day this time, namely Rembug Konco, Kids Take Over (KTO). According to the number one person in Central Java, KTO is a learning process for children.

The learning process is important. So you know which one is right, which one is wrong, which one is lacking. So that improvements can be made," he added.

Head of the Central Java Provincial Women and Children Service, Retno Sudewi, said that this event took the theme "Rembug Konco, Kids Take Over", namely taking over the role of adults or influential key figures.

"In order, VOICE your Action, Come on Jogo Konco. Then, the theme chosen by KTO, take activities to prevent sexual violence against children, increase child literacy, to prevent online-based violence," said Retno.
