Indonesia launches education initiative to boost learning equality

Jakarta, May 3 (UNI) Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Friday launched a nationwide education initiative aimed at accelerating the equal distribution of learning quality through digital technology.
The program, known as the Best Results Fast Program, is part of a broader government strategy to ensure high-quality and inclusive education across the archipelago.
Speaking at the launch ceremony held at Cimahpar 5 Public Elementary School in Bogor, West Java Province, Prabowo said one of the key measures under the program would be the installation of television screens in all schools to support digital-based learning.
"Through this initiative, we can deliver the best lessons, especially benefiting schools in remote, underdeveloped, and outermost areas, as well as urban schools that face challenges in accessing qualified teachers or learning materials," Prabowo said.
The program is expected to begin in the coming months, with the goal of equipping all schools in the country with digital screens by mid-2026.
Prabowo emphasized that the initiative would provide substantial support for teachers and students nationwide, particularly in regions experiencing a shortage of skilled educators.
The Indonesian leader expressed hope that the digitalization of education infrastructure would contribute to building a strong and competitive generation of human resources in the country.
