President Prabowo Subianto Friday (05/02) attended the commemoration of 2025 National Education Day and the Launching of Program Hasil Terbaik Cepat (PHTC)—Fast and Best Result Program—at Cimahpar 5 State Elementary School, Bogor city, West Java province.
The President entered one of the classrooms to watch a demonstration of an interactive smart board as part of government-initiated digital technology approach for national education transformation.
In the classroom, the President greeted and interacted with the students while expressing appreciation to them.
“Thank you for the teachers. I hope everyone studies well,” he said.
Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu’ti, in his report, stated that digitalization in education is implemented by revitalizing schools and providing smart classroom technology. According to him, the Ministry has allocated a budget of Rp16.9 trillion to revamp 11,440 schools and Rp2 trillion for digitalization in education.
“The Government hopes that with better facilities and smart classrooms, the students can study happily, eager to learn so that they can become a high-quality future generation,” the Minister said.
For the record, the digitalization program was supported by a digital platform called “Ruang Murid” as an upgrade of the existing “Rumah Pendidikan” super app. This platform contains materials in the form of videos and games to make learning more interactive and fun for the students.
