Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Saturday pledged sweeping reforms in the education sector, focusing on large-scale school renovations and accelerated digitalization to improve learning quality nationwide.Prabowo said the government aims to renovate 300,000 schools over the next five years as part of efforts to upgrade education infrastructure.The plan was outlined during a public dialogue titled “President Prabowo Answers Criticism on MBG, BOP Regarding Palestine & US Tariff Negotiations With Donald Trump,” which was broadcast on Saturday.“I am currently carrying out physical repairs for schools. Last year, we were only able to reach 17,000 schools. This year, 70,000 are targeted. Next year, I want the number to increase to 90,000. Within five years, I want to complete 300,000 schools,” Prabowo said.Alongside infrastructure upgrades, the government is advancing a nationwide push to digitalize learning systems.Prabowo said more than 288,000 interactive flat panels have been distributed to schools, including those in remote, frontier, and outermost regions.He added that the devices are equipped with educational content designed to help students better understand lessons through more interactive methods.The president also said the government is preparing a centralized learning system to reduce disparities in teaching quality across regions.“We will set up a studio with the best teachers who will teach in schools lacking mathematics teachers, English language teachers,” he said.The initiative is expected to help address teacher shortages in key subjects, particularly in underserved areas.Prabowo said the education overhaul forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen Indonesia’s human capital amid rapid global technological change.“These are major leaps in our human capital development,” he said, adding that education remains the key driver of productivity and long-term economic growth.
