This was confirmed by Deputy for Sociocultural Affairs and Community Empowerment at the OIKN Alimuddin here on Wednesday.
The deputy highlighted that the effort aims to make learning fun for students.
In this regard, education in the new capital will be adjusted to the needs and potential of children.
"If a child wants to be a singer, they must not be forced to be smart in science. Instead, they should be guided and taught to be a successful singer," he remarked.
Furthermore, he elaborated that it also encompassed introducing the way of life in Nusantara to children from an early age so as to build their character and prepare them to be ready to compete at the global level.

The OIKN expressed appreciation to the Directorate of Early Childhood Education and Community Education Teachers at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education for providing training to early childhood education teachers in Nusantara.
He noted that early childhood education teachers in Nusantara had participated in the teacher competence program through a one-year partnership with the directorate.
"This activity is also supported by the Australian Government through the Innovation for Indonesia's School Children (INOVASI) program," Alimuddin remarked.
The OIKN, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, and INOVASI are directing their efforts towards improving the quality of learning at the early childhood and elementary school levels.
He emphasized that this initiative is being implemented by developing children's literacy skills, numeracy, and personal character.
