Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu'ti said on Wednesday that the revitalization is currently underway with strong governance and active community participation. The program has created 422,981 jobs for local workers, with each school managing the construction work directly, he added.
Mu'ti emphasized that the initiative is part of the government's efforts to fulfill the constitutional mandate to educate the nation's children and develop high-quality human resources, as outlined in President Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita, or the Eight Strategic Programs.
During the 2025 National Education Day commemoration, President Prabowo launched four strategic government programs under the education sector’s Quick-Win initiatives.
These include the school revitalization and renovation program, which aims to accelerate improvements to educational infrastructure across Indonesia, as well as the digitalization of education through the distribution of smart boards, tuition assistance for teacher education, and support for contract-based teachers.
