JAKARTA, 27 August (BelTA - ANTARA) - Indonesia's Ministry of Primary
and Secondary Education will soon introduce computer programming and
artificial intelligence (AI) subjects into its Multi-Entry, Multi-Exit
(MEME) curriculum at the tuition-free Sekolah Rakyat.
Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu'ti announced the plan during a briefing for Sekolah Rakyat teachers and principals in Jakarta on Friday.
He said the MEME curriculum is designed to give students learning opportunities tailored to their talents, interests, abilities, and pace, while maintaining the same subject matter and approaches used in formal schools.
"What I want to emphasize is how the Multi-Entry, Multi-Exit curriculum can apply the principles of deep learning — implementing mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning through activities of understanding, application, and reflection," Mu'ti said.
According to him, the introduction of programming and AI is part of the government's effort to prepare students to master and apply digital technology for the benefit of society.
"Teaching students coding and artificial intelligence aims to encourage systematic, computational, independent, and responsible thinking," he remarked.
Mu'ti reiterated that the curriculum and learning approach at Sekolah Rakyat will remain aligned with ministry policy, and that his office is committed to providing the resources needed for its success.
"Everything is at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, and we will prepare all the necessary materials to support the success of Sekolah Rakyat," he said.
