1945 Constitution carries heroes' legacy for welfare: Social Minister

Antara NewsState / PublicConservativeNov 2

Indonesian Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf stated that the values of national heroes are embedded in the 1945 Constitution, specifically citing Articles 31, 33, and 34 regarding education, state wealth management, and social welfare. Speaking at a Heroes’ Day commemoration in Jakarta, Yusuf linked these constitutional principles to the 'Sekolah Rakyat' (People's School) initiative, a program attributed to President Prabowo Subianto aimed at providing education to children from impoverished backgrounds. The ministry reported that the program currently operates in over 180 locations across 34 provinces, utilizing 265 buildings to house approximately 45,000 students. Yusuf emphasized that enrollment relies on outreach rather than academic testing or formal registration processes to ensure accessibility for the poorest families. The government plans to expand the student body to over 100,000 next year and aims to reach 300,000 students by 2028, with a long-term goal of educating one million children through permanent facilities in every district.
