Tears of Gus Ipul messed up with the story of the service of the people's school teachers

Jakarta – Indonesian social minister Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) could not hold back the tears of listening to the Curhatan of a high -ranking People’s School teacher (SRMA) 34. The teacher chose to be faithful to serve for the dreams of underprivileged children. In front of Gus Ipul, a young teacher gently told him. About how he was willing to leave the family because he wanted to help change the fate of children who almost lost hope. “I know it’s not an ordinary school, sir. I was touched. I survived for them, for the sake of these children, I was determined to accompany these students to fetch their future,” said Alija Muhammad Pranawa, Informatics Engineering, Friday (1/8/2025). Browse to continue with the content hearing that Gus Ipul was silent. His hands trembled and held the microphone. His voice trembled when he finally said his appreciation. “We all struggle so that teachers can get their rights. Thank you for the determination of taking the children to their hope,” Gus Ipul said. Gus Ipul was witnessed by the determination of true educators who did not go, although they were placed far, not giving up, although the salary was not luxurious, and was not tired, because what they learned was not only topics, but also hope. Gus Ipul said people’s schools are not ordinary programs. According to him, this program is a major mandate from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to bring about social justice through education. Children studying here come from poor and extremely poor families. For them, this is the only way to change life. In people’s schools, teachers not only teach teachers. They become second parents, become friends, even become the last hope for children who have never thought they could go to school, especially in a dorm. And before tears that spilled in the morning, one thing became clear, the people’s school did not go over numbers. “It’s about the heart. About those who choose to stay for the dream of children who have been abandoned for too long,” he said. (AKD/AKD)
