REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BEKASI -- Forum Pondok Pesantren (FPP) Bekasi Regency, West Java is determined to realize safe and comfortable education through child-friendly boarding school programs.
“This program as an effort to realize a boarding school that not only focuses on religious education but also upholds the rights of children and the protection of santri,” said Bekasi Regency FPP Chairman Muhammad Yasin in Cikarang on Thursday.
This child-friendly boarding school program is a preventive measure to prevent any form of violence in the boarding house environment.
Through this program, the rights of children must be fulfilled and the entire school must also be well protected during their stay in the boarding school environment.
“All teachers, including kiai and other educators, are directed to be more child-friendly, given the many instances of such violence that have occurred. We announce this together so that the implementation of child-friendly boarding school program in Bekasi Regency becomes more concrete,” he said.
She hopes that this child-friendly boarding school program can be widely implemented in the future to create an educational environment that is safe, comfortable, and supports children's growth and development.
“We hope that our efforts can prevent and restore the dignity of boarding schools as an educational institution focused on improving the morals and morals of students,” he said.
He also admitted that the incident of assault in one of the places of study some time ago caused a great loss for the boarding school in Bekasi Regency, because the incident also caused concern among parents to send children to boarding schools.
“It is obviously a disadvantage because it is not a boarding house but the name of a boarding house. It is clear that if there is such an incident, parents are afraid to take care of the child, there is concern,” he said.
Development of the potential of the santri
The Gorontalo Provincial Government is committed to supporting the development of the potential of santri in the districts and cities of Gorontalo province in the field of skills and knowledge.
“This commitment has been marked by the Gorontalo Provincial Government's full support for religious-based programs,” Acting Governor of Gorontalo Rudy Salahuddin said after the Santri Day reception in Gorontalo City on Thursday.
That support, Rudy said, includes providing education assistance funds, facilitating the improvement of sanitation skills, and the center's involvement in community empowerment.
“In the era of digital transformation, it is important for all of us to encourage schools to play an active role in the development of the creative economy, inclusive education, and technological innovation without losing sight of Islamic values,” Rudy said.
He said that so far the Santri have been an important part in creating a generation of excellence and noble morals. Moreover, the role of the santri as guardian of moral and noble values must continue to be strengthened. The Santri must constantly improve his qualities, both religious and scientific and technological sciences.
“I invite all of us to make Santri Day a momentum to strengthen unity and togetherness. Let us together realize the ideal of an advanced and prosperous Indonesia, while upholding the karimah ethic,” he said.
Santri Day in 2024 carries the theme “Connecting the Battle of Merengkuh Future”. Through the Santri Day, Pj Governor hopes that the students will be able to compete both on the national level and on the international scene.
