JAYAPURA, PAPUA \u2013 The Papua Provincial Government, through its Education Office, plans to build Special Schools (Sekolah Luar Biasa\/SLB) in Jayapura Regency and Supiori Regency in 2027 as part of efforts to expand access to education for children with special needs, including children with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head of the Papua Provincial Education Office, Marthen Medlama, said that providing adequate educational facilities was an important step toward ensuring equal access to education for every child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Every child has the same right to receive an education without discrimination, so this must be supported by providing adequate school facilities and teaching staff,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Marthen, the planned construction of special schools in the two regencies is expected to bring educational services closer to children with special needs. This would give them greater opportunities to participate in learning activities suited to their individual needs and develop their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also emphasized the importance of parental support in ensuring that children with special needs have the opportunity to receive formal education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Children who should be attending special schools should not simply be left at home. They also have the right to receive an education,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marthen added that the Papua Provincial Education Office would continue to strengthen its support for children with special needs, including by creating opportunities for them to pursue higher education or enter the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Going forward, we will continue to pay greater attention to children with special needs so that they can pursue higher education or find employment,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further noted that children with special needs could develop their abilities and achieve success when provided with appropriate guidance and equal opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of efforts to support student achievement, the provincial government also plans to open scholarship opportunities for high-performing special school students who wish to continue their studies at a higher level through the Mace program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Therefore, we will open opportunities to provide scholarships for high-achieving special school students who wish to continue their education at a higher level, as a form of support for developing their abilities through the Mace program,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the planned construction of special schools and support for outstanding students, the Papua Provincial Government hopes to expand educational opportunities for children with special needs and help them develop their abilities and potential over the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
