Indeed, Jessica was initially doubtful about Kemala Taruna Bhayangkara High School, as this school had just been established. “At first I didn’t know this high school existed because it was a new high school. I got the information from my father and mother. They found it on Kemala Taruna Bhayangkara’s Instagram and social media. Initially, I planned to look for a high school boarding school and an international curriculum. KTB has both these aspects and encouragement from my parents,” said Bha Jemala Taruna Taruna. Jessica’s doubts about Kemala Taruna Bhayangkara High School faded after learning that the background to the establishment of this high school under the cooperation of the Kemala Bhayangkari Foundation (YKB) and the Indonesian National Cadre Education Foundation (YPKBI) was the implementation of President Prabowo Subianto’s directive regarding the presence of excellent schools. “I was a little worried at first because it is a new school, only after researching the videos on Instagram, it seems that this high school has a rich background. Mr. Prabowo also wants to build a superior high school, and I believe that if Mr. Prabowo wants it himself, the high school will definitely be good,” explained Jessica. He added that another thing that makes the choice to enter Kemala Taruna Bhayangkara High School worth fighting for is the full scholarship each student gets. “Of course there are no school fees here because there are full scholarships ranging from uniforms, food to laundry from this school, everything is free without any fees,” Jessica added.
