Prabowo urges TNI-Polri to compete on elite schools

President Prabowo Subianto urged TNI and Polri to compete in delivering the best education through the development of military-style high schools. In a state address at the MPR/DPR RI building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday (14/8), Prabowo said the rivalry should be a positive contest to improve school quality. He said the Ministry of Defense now has five new SMA Taruna Nusantara schools operating in Cimahi, Malang, Pagar Alam, Ibu Kota Nusantara, and Minahasa, adding to the school first established in Magelang. Separately, Polri and Lembaga Perguruan Kemala Taruna Bhayangkara have completed one SMA Taruna Bhayangkara campus. Prabowo also cited four SMA Garuda schools that have been built and the SMA Garuda Transformasi program, which now covers 42 schools in 15 provinces with an international baccalaureate curriculum.
