Student Talent Mapping Continues at Sekolah Rakyat, Gus Ipul: Every Student is Valuable

Sekolah Rakyat (People's School) is continuing its talent mapping initiative, utilizing Talent DNA testing to help students discover and understand their innate potential. A recent demonstration featured Putri, a student from Pontianak, who shared how the Talent DNA mapping clarified her strengths as a "competitive" and "troubleshooter." This self-awareness, she explained, has boosted her confidence, motivation, and courage.

“

I know that I have competitive and troubleshooter strengths. From there, I am more confident in myself, more enthusiastic, and braver.

Ary Ginanjar, Founder of ESQ Corp, highlighted the significance of this talent mapping, expressing confidence that Indonesian children can similarly uncover their future paths. Over the past year, ESQ has been actively involved with Sekolah Rakyat, conducting Talent DNA mapping for students, teachers, and principals. Ginanjar affirmed ESQ's commitment to supporting the development of talent within Sekolah Rakyat, contributing to a robust talent ecosystem envisioned for Indonesia Emas 2045 (Golden Indonesia 2045).

“

I am sure that other Indonesian children can also find their future.

For the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year, the talent mapping will continue for new students. In a significant move to broaden access, ESQ will offer 100,000 free Talent DNA mapping slots for Sekolah Rakyat students. This initiative aims to guide students in recognizing their potential and receiving personalized support tailored to their individual talents and characters. Diana, a Senior Consultant at ESQ, presented findings from previous mappings, noting students' strengths in sincerity, perfectionism, equality, forgiveness, and harmony, while identifying areas for improvement such as intuitive ability, self-confidence, assertiveness, leadership, and communication skills.

This is the advantage of Sekolah Rakyat. In Sekolah Rakyat, everyone is valuable according to their respective talents.

Beyond talent mapping, ESQ is introducing an "AI Coaching Talenta Sekolah Rakyat" concept. This digital tool is designed to provide continuous, personalized self-development support for students. "This is the advantage of Sekolah Rakyat. In Sekolah Rakyat, everyone is valuable according to their respective talents," Diana stated. Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf, also known as Gus Ipul, endorsed this philosophy, suggesting it become the identity of Sekolah Rakyat. "That's good, because in Sekolah Rakyat every student is valuable." The minister also noted that Sekolah Rakyat is preparing to welcome a large number of new students, with a target of 45,000 students for the current year and over 100,000 for the next, beginning with orientation for 5,130 new students on July 14, 2026.
