Many have begun to submit proposals for the establishment of people’s schools as a form of support for programs for alleviating poverty through this education channel. “We are grateful that the Governor and Regent/Mayor welcomed this well, as we also opened a desk on the ministries for three days to serve the ministries and questions from Regency/Cities related to people’s schools,” Gus Ipul added. He argued that the Ministry of Social Affairs opened the greatest possible opportunity for regions that were ready, especially in terms of providing a minimum of five hectares of land. The people’s own schools are intended for children of beneficiary families who were difficult to access quality education. “This program is designed for children of beneficiary families who have been hampered by access and opportunities. In people’s schools, they will live, learn and strengthen intensively to get out of the shackles of poverty,” he said. Furthermore, Gus Ipul argued that the student screening process will be based on the National Socio -Economic Data (DTSEN), so that the process will run transparent and on target. This program is expected to be an important leap in breaking the intergeneration poverty.
