Thanks to the People’s School, the dreams of a higher education for children like Andra Farizki Ramdhani are now becoming a reality. As a single mother, his mother has been the pillar of strength for their family, working hard to provide for Andra. Thanks to the People’s School initiative launched by President Prabowo Subianto, Andra, a 10th-grade student at People’s High School (SRMA 10) in South Jakarta, now has access to a proper education despite financial challenges.
The People’s School has opened new doors for Andra, and he expresses his gratitude towards President Prabowo for creating an opportunity for children who cannot afford education. He believes that this initiative not only motivates students to learn but also contributes to the progress of Indonesia as a whole. Adjusting to life at a boarding school has been both challenging and rewarding for Andra, who misses his family but finds joy and companionship with his friends.
The facilities at SRMA 10 have surpassed Andra’s expectations, providing a conducive environment for learning. He is actively participating in extracurricular activities, pursuing his passion for judo and excelling in his favorite subject, Informatics. Despite the absence of his father, Andra remains determined to achieve his ambitions, aspiring to become a judo athlete and study at the Defense University (Unhan) to honor his mother’s wishes.
The People’s School has eliminated financial barriers for Andra, offering underprivileged children like him the opportunity to pursue education without additional costs. This has instilled hope and optimism in Andra, shaping his knowledge, independence, and determination to reach his dreams. With his mother’s unwavering support and prayers, Andra is confident that success is now within his grasp, thanks to the transformative impact of the People’s School.
