In celebrating Indonesia’s National Children’s Day, President Prabowo Subianto emphasizes the importance of taking action to secure the future of the nation’s children. The government has launched three key programs aimed at improving the well-being of children: Nutritious Free Meals (MBG), Free Health Checkups (CKG), and School Revitalization. These programs, overseen by Senior Expert Dedek Prayudi, address critical issues such as childhood nutrition, anemia, and access to healthcare services.
Nutritious Free Meals (MBG) aims not only to provide food but also to deliver essential nutrients like iron that children need for proper growth and development. Free Health Checkups are essential in safeguarding children’s health, fulfilling the constitutional mandate to guarantee the right to health for all citizens. By detecting potential health issues early on, the government can protect public health and promote well-being.
The School Revitalization Program, financed by an allocation of Rp 20 trillion in the 2025 national budget, focuses on renovating schools across the country. With thousands of schools in disrepair, the initiative aims to improve educational facilities in remote, underdeveloped, and densely populated urban areas. Especially prioritizing schools with severe structural damage, the program seeks to provide a safe and dignified environment for all students.
President Prabowo’s commitment to the well-being of Indonesia’s children is evident in these initiatives, which address crucial issues ranging from nutrition and health to safe and dignified learning environments. By investing in the future of the nation’s youth, the government demonstrates its dedication to creating a brighter future for all Indonesian children.
