Communities that once lost access to quality education now have renewed hope of gaining it. Sekolah Rakyat (People’s School), a visionary educational program initiated by President Prabowo Subianto, is paving the way toward a better future for the Indonesians.

Implemented by the Social Affairs Ministry in collaboration with the local governments, Sekolah Rakyat has been launched at various locations across the country. The program has been warmly welcomed by students and parents alike, bringing newfound optimism in the effort to nurture the nation’s best generation.
