The story of Andra Farizki Ramdhani, a 10th-grade student at SRMA 10 in South Jakarta, is an inspiring tale of resilience and determination. Raised by a single mother, Andra has faced financial struggles throughout his life. However, thanks to the People’s School initiative launched by President Prabowo Subianto, Andra now has access to a proper education.
The People’s School where Andra studies is a boarding school that has provided him with not only academic support but also a sense of community and belonging. Despite being away from his family, Andra has found comfort and friendship among his classmates and roommates. The school’s facilities, which exceed his expectations, have created a conducive learning environment that has helped him stay focused and motivated.
Andra is actively involved in extracurricular activities, pursuing his passion for judo and excelling in informatics. Despite the challenges he has faced growing up without a father, Andra remains determined to achieve his dreams. He aspires to become a judo athlete and pursue higher education at the Defense University, honoring his mother’s wishes and dedication to his success.
For Andra, the People’s School represents a gateway to hope and opportunity for underprivileged children like himself. Unlike traditional schools that require a national selection process and additional costs, the People’s School offers a free education to those who are determined to learn. With the support of his mother and the opportunities provided by the People’s School, Andra believes that his dreams are now within reach.
