inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. As many as 20,000 children who had previously dropped out of school have returned to their education through the Community's School program run by the Ministry of Social Affairs over the past year.

As posted on the Cabinet Secretariat Instagram account (@sekretariat.kabinet), the Minister of Social Affairs also reported on the progress of the Community's School program.

"In this year, almost 20,000 children who dropped out of school have been able to return to school," the post read on Friday (3/13/2026).

In addition to gaining access to education, the children also receive adequate housing, food, nutritional support, and health insurance. The Community's School program is implemented as part of the government's efforts to ensure that school-age children continue to have the opportunity to learn.

The program is implemented as part of the government's efforts to ensure that school-age children have access to education.

President Prabowo Subianto is concerned about the issue of children who cannot attend school. He is working to ensure that no children who should be in school are deprived of educational opportunities and is encouraging children to avoid living and earning a living on the streets.

"President Prabowo doesn't want any more children who should be attending school to be unable to do so, and he doesn't want any children to have to struggle, scrape by, and live on the streets," wrote the post.

The Community's School program is planned to be expanded annually in the hope of having a broader impact on Indonesia's younger generation.

The program is President Prabowo's flagship education initiative, designed as a free boarding school to break the cycle of poverty through quality education.

This program specifically targets children from underprivileged families, street children, and vulnerable groups throughout Indonesia.
