A number of people's school students receive university bursaries and get work guarantee

Jakarta – Social Minister Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) emphasized that a number of people’s school students received work guarantees and university bursaries. This facility will be provided after graduating. Through collaboration with various campuses, one of which is the Ary Ginanjar University (UAG), as many as 35 people’s school students will receive scholarships in 2027 with work guarantees for some graduates. “Of these 35 children, it is certain that 7 children will find work after graduating. It is still about 6-7 years from now, but they have already received positions,” Gus Ipul said in a written statement on Monday (13/10/2025). Browse to continue with the content. The Deputy Regent of Sumedang M. Fajar Aldila, 147 students of the Integrated People School (SRT) 4 Sumedang, parents of the students, as well as 175 social pillars, were present at this activity. Gus Ipul emphasizes the importance of downstream teaching, so that people of people’s school have a certain future. In the future, downstream efforts will still be encouraged, so that people’s school graduates are truly independent and empowered. “The People’s School not only wants to graduate, but wants to lead graduates to become children who can actually find work according to their abilities,” he emphasized. The presence of Gus Ipul in Sumedang was warmly welcomed by the People’s School students. They showed their hidden talents through traditional dance performances, choirs and poetry readings. This statement was greeted with long applause from the audience. Several participants, including the students of the students, were seen wiping away the tears. One of the most moving moments occurred when Elsa, a poetry reading student, was directly invited by Gus Ipul with her mother to the stage. Gus Ipul asked Elsa to embrace her mother, as in his poem, accompanied by the song ‘You are my mother’. The atmosphere in the pavilion was suddenly quiet and full of tears. Elsa, who dreams of becoming a doctor, has become a symbol of the enthusiasm of people’s school children to continue progressing, even though they come from simple families. In his dialogue, Gus Ipul repeated the fundamental meaning of People’s School as the idea of ​​President Prabowo Subianto. “There are three keys to understanding people’s school, namely the little people, to reach the unreached and make the impossible possible,” he said. Gus Ipul explained that people’s schools are part of a strategy for alleviating poverty that involves sectors of ministries to regional governments. “The implementation of this People’s School is part of the relief of poverty, President Prabowo’s strategic program. The person responsible for his activities is the Ministry of Social Affairs, but there are many supporters from left to right, including Dikdasuren, the Ministry of Home Affairs, PAN-RB, BPS, public works and regional governments. Gus Ipul emphasized that the data on the beneficiaries of the People’s School came from the National Socio -Economic Single data (DTSEN) run by BPS. “Those who can go to school here are not the acquaintances of the Regent, not the acquaintances of the Minister of Social Affairs, not a deposit, not the result of bribes. Those who can go to school here are people who are actually in BPS, and those in the lower cover can just come in,” he explained. Although support from different parties comes, Gus Ipul also emphasizes the importance of parental support in the success of children at People’s School. “Parents help, support and accompany the teaching and learning process of children at people’s schools. Because these parents are an important part of managing people’s schools.” Apart from the care of children, the Ministry of Social Affairs also prepares an empowerment scheme for their families. They will be family beneficiaries of a number of programs such as BPNT, PKH and PBI JK. “All families of people’s school students will receive complete social assistance from the central, provincial and district level. We hope that it will only be a maximum of five years for families of productive age, and then we will help them become more independent families,” Gus Ipul said. As he emphasized the spirit of independence, Gus Ipul invited all participants to shout the slogan ‘temporary social assistance, forever’. Apart from Elsa, Riska, another student of SRT 4 Sumedang, also entertained the audience with the Sundanese Song Pupuh. The mother, Lina, was also invited to the stage and delivered a short but poignant prayer. He prayed that Riska would become a pious child and be successful in the future. “Hopefully he will reach his dream of becoming a veterinarian and continuing to make his parents proud,” Gus Ipul said. Eventually, Gus Ipul closed the dialog with good news. Sumedang Regency is one of the 100 points for setting up permanent people’s schools starting this year. Facilities include classrooms, dorms, halls, dining halls and sports areas. “God wants, my children, hopefully, if it runs smoothly, Sumedang Regency will be one of those built this year, and it will be completed next year,” he said. Meanwhile, Sumedang’s Deputy Regent, M. Fajar Aldila, in his welcoming speech seemed to hold back emotion. His voice trembled and occasionally stopped because he could not hold back his emotions to remember the struggle of the people’s school students who could now seem confident before the Minister of Social Affairs. “You may have seen this performance of our children, Sir. What, thank the Lord, my heart touched my heart. Because they may never have thought that they could appear here a year or two ago, Father,” said Fjar. “I am very grateful to Mr Prabowo. Because I am sad that we should be equal to education. None of our children will have social differences this year. This is the noble ideal of Mr. President Prabowo subianto,” he added. Fajar emphasized that the Sumedang Regency government will stand upright and fully support the implementation of People’s School. “We will support programs to programs, especially the Integrated People’s School in Sumedang Regency,” Fajar emphasizes. To date, 165 people’s schools in Indonesia, managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs as part of the national strategic program for poverty relief. This school integrates education, social assistance and family economic empowerment in an integrated way, which brings new hope for underprivileged families to be independent and prosperous. (PRF/EGA)
