00:00Do you have any update regarding RUU to make it compulsory for secondary school students to go to AGC?
00:05We have already finished at the AGC level and we hope that it can be extended to the next parliamentary session.
00:16So the nature of RUU is very important and critical for us.
00:21We already have a low school education foundation,
00:24with that foundation, we can achieve a very high level of enrollment, which is 98-99%.
00:33And the foundation of this secondary school compulsory education means that we want to express our commitment
00:39to ensure that our children do not fail in secondary school, especially high school.
00:44And we also know the challenges of this education,
00:47such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the involvement of children who work.
00:53So we take all of this into account and we will definitely start it with the process of
00:58invocation and awareness to parents and the community.
01:01So we hope that for the next parliamentary session, we are ready to be established in the parliament.
01:12God willing, we will try our best.
