Finance Minister inspects Sekolah Rakyat Surabaya, budget use hits Rp3,21 trillion
The 6.6-hectare complex carries a Rp3,52 trillion contract and combines elementary, middle and high schools with dormitories.
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa inspected the implementation of the Sekolah Rakyat Program at Sekolah Rakyat Terintegrasi 2 Kota Surabaya, East Java, on Saturday, while ensuring state budget support for the priority program of President Prabowo Subianto. At the site, Purbaya stressed that the Finance Ministry’s job is to maintain budget availability so the program can run optimally. The school was built on 6.6 hectares with a contract value of Rp3,52 trillion, a budget ceiling of Rp3,82 trillion, and construction realization that has reached Rp3,21 trillion. The model is integrated: elementary, middle and high schools are in one area, while students live in dormitories with facilities that support learning and character building.
