Andra Farizki Ramdhani, a 10th-grade student at SRMA 10 in South Jakarta, has shown resilience and determination despite growing up without a father. With his mother as the sole provider for the family, Andra has found new hope through the People’s School initiative introduced by President Prabowo Subianto. This program has provided him with the opportunity to receive a proper education, something that was previously out of reach due to financial constraints.
The People’s School, where Andra is a student, is a boarding school that has presented both challenges and rewards for him. While adjusting to dorm life and being away from his family can be difficult, Andra finds solace in the camaraderie of his friends and the supportive environment provided by the school. The daily schedule at the school is rigorous, including morning prayers, exercise, classes, and extracurricular activities, all of which contribute to a well-rounded learning experience.
Andra is particularly impressed with the facilities at SRMA 10, stating that they have exceeded his expectations. The comfortable living quarters, well-equipped study spaces, and engaging teaching methods have helped him stay focused and motivated to learn. Despite his challenging circumstances, Andra remains ambitious and dreams of becoming a judo athlete while pursuing higher education at the Defense University (Unhan), a goal inspired by his mother’s unwavering support and belief in his potential.
For Andra, attending the People’s School has provided him with an invaluable opportunity to receive quality education without the financial burden that often accompanies traditional schooling. He appreciates the inclusive nature of the program, which allows underprivileged children like himself to pursue their academic aspirations without the barriers of additional costs or selection processes. With determination, a supportive community, and his mother’s prayers, Andra believes that his dreams are now within reach, a testament to the transformative power of education and perseverance.
