For Rama, a single mother from Bogor Regency, West Java, the government’s Sekolah Rakyat (People’s School) holds a special place in her heart. It is more than just a tuition-free boarding school for her son, Ridwan, but also a safe haven where he is treated with dignity, kindness, and genuine care. Rama expressed her relief and happiness during an interview at Sekolah Rakyat, mentioning how she witnessed first-hand the discipline, cleanliness, and care provided to her child. Rama, who has been raising her two children alone due to the passing of her first husband, once struggled to make ends meet and had almost given up on sending Ridwan to school. However, after receiving news that Ridwan had been selected for the fully funded residential education program, she decided to enroll him. Despite initial hesitance, Rama was moved by the dedication and attention the school showed to her son, especially after facing poverty and exhaustion. Ridwan, who had experienced bullying in the past, now benefits from the supportive environment at Sekolah Rakyat, while Rama dreams of his success and future. She expressed her gratitude to President Prabowo Subianto and everyone involved in the program for providing hope and assistance to people in need. With Ridwan back in school and regaining his self-worth, and Rama finding renewed hope, the story exemplifies the real, tangible impact of reaching out to vulnerable citizens with meaningful change.
