Palu, Central Sulawesi (ANTARA) – The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has added 9,000 units to the school revitalization program’s target, raising it from 71,744 to 80,744 educational units in 2026.

Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu’ti said during a visit to Palu, Central Sulawesi Province, on Thursday that the school revitalization program is running smoothly and is expected to reach its target.

“The School revitalization program is running smoothly. God willing, this year from the target of 71,744 educational units, we will be able to reach 80,744. So, there is an additional target of 9,000 educational units,” Mu’ti said.

He added the program reflects the government’s attention to providing adequate educational facilities and infrastructure to support teaching and learning activities.

According to the minister, the program’s higher target is expected to expand the fulfillment of educational infrastructure and facilities across regions.

Mu’ti added that combined with the 2025 program, the total number of educational units revitalized in 2025 and 2026 is targeted at around 97,000 schools.

He also said the government is drafting an academic paper and a draft ministerial regulation to serve as the basis for reinstating the streaming system at senior high school level from the 2027/2028 academic year.

“We are currently drafting the text on streaming and specialization for 2027-2028, both the academic paper and the draft ministerial regulation,” he said.

Previously, Mu’ti confirmed the school revitalization and digitalization program would continue in 2026 to improve the quality of learning evenly across Indonesia.

To support the digitalization program, the government planned to increase the number of Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) in 2026. IFPs are large 4K touchscreen displays functioning as digital whiteboards and all-in-one teaching tools for modern classrooms.
