JAKARTA - Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Maruli Simanjuntak said his party would evaluate the Indonesian Women's Corps (Kowad) education program for repairs in 2025.

"One of the things we rarely talk about is Kowad's education. How do we evaluate education," said Maruli while attending the 63rd Kowad Anniversary at the Matraman Pusziad, East Jakarta, Monday, December 23, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to Maruli, the education system in Kowad needs to be considered because the female corps has many potentials that can be developed.

With the development of a maximum education system, he believes Kowad personnel can have the capabilities used for various mission interests.

Maruli also gave an example that Kowad could be involved in defense missions in several areas.

"Throughout this journey, even during our assignments, we still send the army female corps. So we also cannot refuse things like this," he said.

Not only that, Kowad is also involved in strategic government programs such as strengthening food security and free nutritious food in 2025.

Later, continued Maruli, Kowad could be involved with the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) in education and training related to free nutritious eating programs.

"Is it possible that they (BGN) have two months of education at our educational place (Korps Kowad), whether one week in Kowad, we will try to discuss it later," said Maruli.

With the maximum development of Kowad education, Maruli believes that Kowad will be able to contribute more to the community.
