BIREUEN | KBA – The Vice Presidential Candidate Number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar (Gus Imin), met and discussed with the youth of Bireun District, Aceh, on Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
On this occasion, Gus Imin urged the Government to allocate as much budget as possible for the development of young people’s potential, especially since Indonesia is experiencing a demographic bonus.
“The Government should allocate as much budget as possible to develop millennials and Generation Z,” said Gus Imin.
The General Chair of the National Awakening Party (PKB) explained that one concrete way for the government to develop millennials and Generation Z is that education must be in sync with the world of work.
“The pre-employment card is good, but it makes people lazy after training. We should shift the pre-employment budget to fund mass apprenticeships in various industries or institutions,” said Gus Imin.
In addition, Gus Imin also asked the government to facilitate young people in entrepreneurship by providing loans without interest and collateral.
Meanwhile, continued Gus Imin, if the AMIN (Anies-Muhaimin) pair is elected, they will focus on developing human resource potentials. Like providing the widest possible opportunities for young people to develop their potential.
Gus Imin also wants to increase scholarships for students in universities, “For those who want to continue their studies, there are two paths. First, those who meet the qualifications will be given scholarships. We want to increase the number of LPDP (Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education) scholarships. Students can also continue to master’s degrees with a credit system,” he concluded. (kba)
