DPP KNPI supports free higher education proposal

The Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Indonesian National Youth Committee (DPP KNPI), Ali Hanafiah, has expressed support for President Prabowo Subianto’s proposal to provide free education from primary school through university.

Ali stated that making higher education free would alleviate the financial burden on families and expand access for students from low-income backgrounds. He noted that while primary and secondary education are already free in many regions, extending this policy to state universities (PTN) is a crucial step toward improving human resource quality for the ‘Indonesia Emas’ vision.
