East Java Deputy Governor urges crafts council to back 'People's School' program

East Java Deputy Governor, Saifullah Yusuf, widely known as Gus Ipul, has called for strong support from the Indonesian National Crafts Council (Dekranasda) for the "Sekolah Rakyat" (People's School) program. This initiative seeks to bolster collaboration between the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Dekranasda, fostering a more integrated approach to community development and support.

Gus Ipul emphasized that the synergy between these national bodies is crucial for the program's success. He highlighted that the collaboration will be further strengthened through the network of PKH (Program Keluarga Harapan or Family Hope Program) assistants. These assistants are strategically positioned throughout Indonesia, providing a vital link to communities at the grassroots level.

The initiative aims to leverage the existing infrastructure and reach of the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Dekranasda to effectively implement the "Sekolah Rakyat" program. By working together and utilizing the PKH assistants, the program intends to enhance its impact and provide more comprehensive support to the people across the archipelago.
