[00:00:00] only two classes
[00:00:03] 32 x 2 meaning 64 up until
[00:00:07] now, in the third phase, we
[00:00:08] named Taufiq Hidayat, who was have received 30 new student candidates. There are probably many
[00:00:12] reasons. Perhaps the first one is related to the age
[00:00:15] of children entering elementary school for this year. Perhaps
[00:00:18] it has decreased compared to last year, so
[00:00:22] the quota, which was the same as last year, was not
[00:00:26] met. Near here, there are public elementary
[00:00:29] schools that perhaps from the perspective
[00:00:33] of facilities are more complete and larger, such as
[00:00:37] SDN Grogol Utara 09 and also SDN Grogol
[00:00:40] Utara 03. Perhaps that is also a
[00:00:43] reason why parents choose to
[00:00:46] send their children to those schools with facilities that are perhaps
[00:00:49] relatively more complete. Meanwhile,
[00:00:52] at SDN Grogol Utara 01, for this academic year,
[00:00:56] the school targeted two student groups with a total of
[00:01:00] 64 students but only accepted 21
[00:01:03] new students. The school states that this condition
[00:01:07] is influenced by access to the school and a decrease in the number
[00:01:10] of school-aged children in the area. The decline
[00:01:13] in the number of students has even been happening since
[00:01:17] 2023, and there are still no signs
[00:01:20] of it increasing. Previously, there were many students here, almost
[00:01:24] 500. Now there are only
[00:01:26] 196 students. Parents
[00:01:31] think like this, meaning if
[00:01:33] later who will take them because the access is far,
[00:01:37] the access is far, and then here, it's
[00:01:41] a complex, what kind of complex? It's a
[00:01:44] complex name. So there are no students from this area, except
[00:01:47] for a few in the back. And
[00:01:51] it's not possible for them to go to school here, right? And here too,
[00:01:54] there are no small children. Our strategy for
[00:01:57] recruiting students, yes, there is. For example,
[00:02:01] we gather the committee for each
[00:02:04] class and urge them
[00:02:07] to register their siblings or younger relatives here.
[00:02:11] Then, whenever there are certain events,
[00:02:14] we showcase
[00:02:17] what is available at this school, what we can do, for example,
[00:02:20] extracurricular activities, dancing, marawis, then silat,
[00:02:24] right? Scouts, we showcase them as an attraction
[00:02:28] so that... students can enroll
[00:02:32] in our school.
[00:02:34] Responding to this, the government plans to conduct
[00:02:37] regrouping or merging schools into one as
[00:02:41] a solution to overcome the declining number of students.
[00:02:44] But how do parents react?
[00:02:48] Don't. It's better to be here by ourselves. If it's here, it's safe. If
[00:02:51] we combine them, it will be chaotic again. It's better this way. Too many students,
[00:02:55] it's too complicated. What if some of them are naughty? We don't know if there are too many
[00:02:59] students. Right? There are mischievous ones. We are afraid of what they will do.
[00:03:03] It's better this way, safe. Hmm, if you ask
[00:03:06] me, it's not necessary to merge them.
[00:03:10] It's more comfortable in our own school compared to
[00:03:14] merging them. Firstly, it's
[00:03:17] close to home. If it's further away, because
[00:03:20] of our transportation situation, viewers, the new
[00:03:24] academic year has now officially begun, but behind
[00:03:27] that, there is a contradictory situation. This happened in elementary
[00:03:31] schools nationwide. Indonesia has around
[00:03:34] 148 to 149,000 elementary
[00:03:38] schools. In the academic year 2024-2025,
[00:03:41] most of them, or 86.75%,
[00:03:45] are public elementary schools. In the odd
[00:03:48] semester, viewers, in 2024-2025
[00:03:52] last year, the number of elementary school students reached
[00:03:55] 23.93
[00:03:58] million students. Well, however, that number shows a downward
[00:04:02] trend compared to 2016
[00:04:05] previously, which reached
[00:04:08] 25.6 million students. In these 8
[00:04:12] years, the number of elementary school students decreased by about
[00:04:14] 1.7 million students. The decrease
[00:04:18] in the number of children at elementary school age has an impact
[00:04:22] on the enrollment of new students in
[00:04:24] out like a colorful blanket various regions. On one hand, some schools still
[00:04:27] conduct strict selections due to high demand. But on the other hand,
[00:04:30] there are also schools that have a shortage
[00:04:33] of applicants.
[00:04:35] Meanwhile, the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Muti,
[00:04:39] stated that his party has collected data on public schools that
[00:04:42] have a student population below 60 to 100
[00:04:46] people. Based on the education basic data or
[00:04:49] Dapodik, the government will also coordinate with the Ministry of Home
[00:04:53] Affairs to prepare a comprehensive
[00:04:55] solution.
[00:04:58] Well, we already have the data. We will discuss
[00:05:01] it with the Ministry of Home Affairs
[00:05:04] to find solutions for schools where
[00:05:07] the number of students is below 60 and below
[00:05:10] 100. Now
[00:05:12] local governments have already carried out
[00:05:15] mergers, especially for elementary schools that are close to each other and
[00:05:19] have very few students. But perhaps this needs strengthening
[00:05:23] from the central level. Why do we have to discuss it with
[00:05:26] the Ministry of Home Affairs? Firstly, the authority to organize education,
[00:05:30] in accordance with existing laws, is for
[00:05:33] kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school by the city district government,
[00:05:37] and for high school, vocational school, SLP and provincial government.
[00:05:40] Well, its structure.
[00:05:43] This government, the city district, is under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
[00:05:46] So if there is a policy that can be structurally
[00:05:50] implemented by the regional government based on
[00:05:54] policy, then perhaps appropriate steps
[00:05:57] can be taken. The phenomenon of decreasing student numbers in
[00:06:01] several elementary schools is not considered to happen without reason. Education
[00:06:05] observer Retno Listiarti states
[00:06:08] that this condition is the result of various factors, ranging from
[00:06:12] demographic shifts, population migration to buffer
[00:06:15] areas, to changes in parental preferences, who
[00:06:18] now increasingly consider the quality and character
[00:06:21] of education when choosing a school for their children. She also
[00:06:25] highlights that the phenomenon of student shortages could actually
[00:06:28] be anticipated earlier.
[00:06:32] Elementary schools, in my opinion, are not too surprising
[00:06:35] because for the past 3 years,
[00:06:38] elementary schools
[00:06:40] have had a lot of public elementary schools that
[00:06:44] have students, and the regional governments have already carried out regrouping. Regrouping means
[00:06:47] merging but if we look at
[00:06:51] the impact, if there is only one student, it's like
[00:06:54] a private class, right? Because there are some that only accept one student,
[00:06:58] then there are some that accept up to three or two students.
[00:07:02] That also exists. In public schools, it's not a loss
[00:07:05] because in public schools, the teachers are paid
[00:07:09] by the government, right? They still have to
[00:07:12] continue, but for the teachers, it has an impact.
[00:07:15] Actually, I think it should have been anticipated,
[00:07:19] there are statistical calculations, right? Firstly, we can also
[00:07:23] know from the Dapodik data so that if
[00:07:26] for example, it has already been estimated, then there is no need
[00:07:30] to accept new students in that school
[00:07:33] so that they can finish with the existing ones first.
[00:07:37] So that when transferring, it is not
[00:07:40] too difficult. They should have data
[00:07:44] so that both public and private schools in the area
[00:07:48] are ready and this decrease in the number of elementary
[00:07:51] school-aged children, or those who want to enter
[00:07:54] elementary school, then the chance of
[00:07:58] a student shortage is high. It can actually be calculated.
[00:08:00] The phenomenon of decreasing student numbers in several
[00:08:04] elementary schools is a new challenge for the world of education. It not only
[00:08:08] requires short-term solutions like regrouping, but also
[00:08:12] planning.
[00:08:42] The graphics and the challenge of equitable education quality in
[00:08:45] Indonesia. Therefore, the government needs to prepare appropriate policies
[00:08:49] to address this. From Jakarta, the Metro
[00:08:53] Timur team.
[00:08:57] Other information will be available soon. Stay with us in Metro
[00:09:00] Siang.
[00:09:07] Supported by the new recipe for Mi Sedap Kari Kental Special, the curry is even more
[00:09:10] special, try it.
[00:10:59] on Metro Siang and viewers, this is the afternoon news segment.
[00:11:02] Let's look at the first information regarding the quick action of police
[00:11:06] officers who successfully rescued a premature baby in the
[00:11:10] Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java area. Officers evacuated the baby after
[00:11:14] the ambulance carrying it experienced a flat tire
[00:11:17] on the road.
[00:11:32] Viewers, this is an amateur video showing a number of
[00:11:35] Satlantas Polores Sumedang members swiftly carrying out
[00:11:38] a baby evacuation. This heroic act
[00:11:42] occurred in front of the IPDN Campus Jatinangor while officers were
[00:11:45] conducting routine patrols. Officers
[00:11:48] found an ambulance stopped on the shoulder of the road due to
[00:11:51] a flat right front tire. After hitting something.
[00:12:38] Next, we will see Melissa Sunjaya's artwork, which
[00:12:42] collaborates with historian Petery to revive
[00:12:46] the memory of the Java War through an art project titled
[00:12:49] 1830. Melissa Sunjaya's collection of works
[00:12:53] not only evokes history but also invites
[00:12:57] the younger generation to undertake decolonization
[00:12:59] of thought.
[00:13:04] Based on historical records of the Java War, local brand
[00:13:07] Tulisan processes visual archival material from the
[00:13:11] Dutch Rijksmuseum into functional clothing and accessory
[00:13:14] products. Through collaboration with historian
[00:13:17] Petery, this approach is deliberately taken so that historical
[00:13:20] values can be used by the community in their daily
[00:13:24] activities. When first exhibited at
[00:13:27] Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, Netherlands,
[00:13:30] this art collection sparked an emotional dialogue about the shared
[00:13:34] history between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The use
[00:13:37] of traditional fabric mediums and fabric patterns serves as
[00:13:40] a bridge for communication as well as a reflection of cultural identity from
[00:13:44] the past. Through the 1830 project, the hope
[00:13:48] is that the younger generation will not only enjoy the aesthetics of the design, but also
[00:13:51] be encouraged to learn more about history.
[00:14:16] Next, viewers, a carpet of hydrangeas in full bloom
[00:14:19] covers the mountainous area of Guizhou, Southwest China,
[00:14:23] presenting a fairytale-like scenery. This beautiful garden is a magnet
[00:14:27] for tourists due to the presence of natural decorations
[00:14:30] and tame sika
[00:14:31] deer.
[00:14:37] Viewers, millions of hydrangea petals bloom beautifully in
[00:14:41] the Guizhou Plum Blossom Garden.
[00:14:44] Shades of blue, pink, purple, and white stretch
[00:14:49] over the hilly landscape. Visitors are seen crowding the
[00:14:53] pathways and climbing the stairs surrounded by a sea
[00:14:56] of flowers just to take photos. This
[00:15:00] 67-hectare garden has more than 70 varieties
[00:15:03] of hydrangeas. Interestingly, the color of these flowers can change
[00:15:07] naturally depending on the pH level of the surrounding soil.
[00:15:11] Not only about flowers, another attraction of this garden is the presence
[00:15:14] of sika deer roaming freely. Because these
[00:15:17] sika deer are so tame, tourists nickname this
[00:15:21] place "Mini Nara of Guizhou."
[00:15:25] This beautiful natural phenomenon usually lasts throughout the flowering season, from
[00:15:28] May to
[00:15:29] October.
[00:16:06] Next, let's turn to Hong Kong. Viewers, hundreds of cat lovers from
[00:16:10] all over the city gathered at the annual Hong Kong Cat
[00:16:13] Expo. Carrying a unique cowboy or wild west theme,
[00:16:17] this exhibition presents various beauty competitions and
[00:16:20] hundreds of accessory stalls for
[00:16:22] pets.
[00:16:31] The lively and festive atmosphere was visible at the Hong Kong Convention
[00:16:34] and Exhibition Center. Visitors who came
[00:16:38] saw firsthand the unique cowboy-themed
[00:16:41] decorations throughout the entire expo area. Visitors could see
[00:16:45] various cat breeds in colorful costumes, as well as
[00:16:49] cats relaxing in strollers. Besides the exhibition,
[00:16:52] this event also became a shopping paradise because it presented
[00:16:55] hundreds of food stalls, toys, and special accessories for
[00:16:59] cats. One of the main attractions was
[00:17:02] the CFA Championship Cat Show. In this
[00:17:05] competition, international judges
[00:17:07] judged cats based on strict standards from the American
[00:17:11] Cat Association. Winning cats were not only judged on their perfect
[00:17:15] physique, such as head and ear shape, but also
[00:17:19] had to be healthy, energetic, and have an interactive winning
[00:17:22] aura. This event, which lasted for 3 days, also
[00:17:26] included cat grooming classes and educational talks
[00:17:30] from experts for pet owners.

[00:21:01] to trigger drought in several areas, disrupting the agricultural sector and
[00:21:04] the availability of clean water for the community. Amidst these conditions,
[00:21:08] farmers face the threat of crop failure, while the distribution
[00:21:12] of clean water aid continues to be carried out to meet the needs of affected
[00:21:15] residents. For more information, stay tuned with
[00:21:18] Oma.
[00:21:34] The prolonged dry season has caused 1084 hectares
[00:21:38] of rice fields in Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, to experience
[00:21:41] drought. Agricultural department data shows that the affected
[00:21:44] land is spread across several sub-districts, including Binuang,
[00:21:48] Matakali, Mapili, and Tapango.
[00:21:50] In Pakandoang Hamlet, Kujang Village, around 50 hectares of rainfed
[00:21:54] rice fields are confirmed to have experienced crop failure after rice plants, which were
[00:21:58] about 2 months old, died due to lack
[00:22:01] of water supply. This condition has caused farmers to suffer losses
[00:22:05] of millions of rupiah per person because planting costs, tractor rental,
[00:22:08] fertilizer, and other operational costs have been incurred. The farmers
[00:22:12] hope that the government will immediately build boreholes and irrigation networks
[00:22:15] to reduce the impact of drought during the dry season.
[00:22:19] The impact. Yesterday, there was no rain here, sir, so there was
[00:22:22] indeed a lack of water. So one
[00:22:26] solution is to have a borehole here because there is no water that can
[00:22:29] be pumped. Right? It can't
[00:22:32] be
[00:22:34] this. The same condition, sir, how is it here?
[00:22:37] If the condition of the rice fields cannot
[00:22:41] be saved,
[00:22:43] then it is certain to fail, certain to
[00:22:46] panic. El Nino has caused
[00:22:50] rice fields in Lebak Regency, Banten to experience drought due to
[00:22:53] drying irrigation channels. This condition forces
[00:22:57] farmers to harvest rice earlier even though it is not yet harvest
[00:23:01] season, to reduce greater losses. In Cibungur Village,
[00:23:04] Rangkas Bitung Timur Village, the harvest yield has drastically decreased because
[00:23:08] many rice grains are empty. Even one farmer claims
[00:23:11] his harvest production has decreased by almost 70%
[00:23:15] compared to the previous season. In addition to the lack of water supply, pest
[00:23:19] attacks have also
[00:23:25] worsened the condition of the crops. The farmers hope that the government will immediately provide solutions such as improving the irrigation system and providing water sources so that
[00:23:29] crop failure due to drought will not happen again.
[00:23:32] It's declining, declining. Why, what's the factor?
[00:23:35] Oh, so the results are down by how many percent
[00:23:38] compared to before? How many percent? Around
[00:23:42] 70%, 70%. Oh, a drastic drop.
[00:23:46] The results are bad now. Bad. So the results are bad.
[00:23:51] Because of what, sir? Not enough
[00:23:55] water. Oh, the TNI, together with PDAM Kota
[00:23:58] Semarang, distributed 10,000 liters of clean water, or two
[00:24:01] tankers, to residents affected by drought in Jabungan Village,
[00:24:05] Banyumanik District, Semarang City, Central Java. This aid was focused on
[00:24:09] RW4, which is the most affected area. Meanwhile,
[00:24:13] overall, around 1000 people in RW 3, 4,
[00:24:16] and 5 experienced a water crisis due to wells and
[00:24:50] widespread dry conditions during the ongoing dry season. In addition to burning
[00:24:53] hundreds of hectares of land, forest and land fires also claimed lives,
[00:24:57] triggered haze, and hindered extinguishing efforts on
[00:25:00] the ground.
[00:25:04] Forest and land fires in the Mount Bromo savanna area continue to spread
[00:25:07] due to strong winds and dry vegetation during the dry
[00:25:11] season. The fire, which previously burned the Bantengan Hill area in
[00:25:14] Lumajang Regency, has now reached the border of the Watangan Valley
[00:25:18] savanna or the habis hill in Probolinggo Regency, East
[00:25:22] Java. A joint team, consisting of TNI, Polri,
[00:25:25] BPBD, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Agency,
[00:25:28] and residents, continues to try to extinguish the fire using
[00:25:32] simple equipment because the terrain is difficult to access.
[00:25:35] Residents also use gebyok made from tree trunks to hold
[00:25:39] back the fire. As of now, the burnt area is estimated
[00:25:43] to be 50 hectares and still has the potential to increase because
[00:25:46] the flames have not yet been controlled. They tried
[00:25:50] to extinguish it, but because the wind was
[00:25:53] strong, the fire kept spreading, right, sir, because
[00:25:56] of the strong wind. The wind was strong.
[00:26:00] The wind was strong. Yesterday, a forest
[00:26:04] and land fire in Matan Hilir Selatan District, Ketapang Regency, West
[00:26:07] Kalimantan, killed a resident
[00:26:11] found with his motorbike burnt on the side of the
[00:26:15] road. The Head of the Ketapang Regency BPBD, Unifar
[00:26:18] Purwantoro, stated that there were two victims in this
[00:26:21] incident, with one person successfully rescued and
[00:26:25] treated in the
[00:26:26] hospital.
[00:26:31] Still not. The BPBD requested additional
[00:26:35] helicopters from the BNPB to strengthen aerial extinguishing
[00:26:39] efforts. Brother
[00:26:42] Taufiq, who happened to be going
[00:26:46] home from work. So in the foggy
[00:26:49] fire and smoke situation,
[00:26:53] he tried to get through. Perhaps he wanted to go home quickly.
[00:26:56] He fell. This is the initial information we received. Perhaps
[00:27:00] he suffered from lack of oxygen.
[00:27:02] He fainted. On the left and right sides of the road, there was fire, so
[00:27:06] he fell. Eventually, he
[00:27:09] died in a burning state.
[00:27:13] Forest and land fires in Palangkaraya City, Central Kalimantan, continue
[00:27:16] to occur almost every day and are starting to spread to residential
[00:27:20] areas. Joint officers continue to extinguish the fires until
[00:27:23] night, but these efforts are hampered by the lack of
[00:27:27] water sources and the very dry condition of peatlands due to the
[00:27:30] dry season. Based on data from the Palangkaraya City BPBD, as of
[00:27:34] August 5, 2026, 151
[00:27:38] forest and land fire incidents were recorded, with a total burnt area reaching
[00:27:41] 162.49
[00:27:44] hectares. The impact of the fires also created haze that disrupted
[00:27:48] community activities, with many residents complaining of coughs and
[00:27:51] headaches due to inhaling polluted
[00:27:54] smoke.
[00:27:58] BMKG states that most of Indonesia's territory is currently entering
[00:28:02] the peak of the dry season. This condition is expected to last longer
[00:28:06] due to the influence of the El Nino phenomenon.
[00:28:09] Based on the updated BMKG prediction in June
[00:28:12] last year, around 48.8%
[00:28:15] of Indonesian land experienced the peak of the dry season in
[00:28:18] August. Meanwhile, around 24% of other regions
[00:28:22] are expected to reach the peak of the dry season in
[00:28:25] September. The El Nino phenomenon in 2026
[00:28:29] has caused lower rainfall than normal conditions. As a result, the transition
[00:28:33] period to the rainy season is predicted to be delayed in various
[00:28:36] regions. BMKG states that the end of the dry season does not
[00:28:40] occur simultaneously. Sumatra and Kalimantan
[00:28:43] generally start to end in September, while parts
[00:28:46] of Java end in November. Then for Nusa
[00:28:50] Tenggara, it can last until December or
[00:28:53] January. Conditions like this can increase the risk of forest
[00:28:57] and land fires. BMKG reminds areas prone to forest fires
[00:29:01] such as central and southern Sumatra, as well as parts of
[00:29:04] Kalimantan, to increase
[00:29:07] their vigilance.
[00:29:13] The end of the dry season is not uniform for all regions of
[00:29:17] Indonesia because various regions of
[00:29:20] Indonesia have their own climatic characteristics. different. For example, if we
[00:29:24] look normally, the Sumatra region
[00:29:26] will experience the end of the dry season in
[00:29:30] September, as will most of the Kalimantan region.
[00:29:33] For the Java region, some will experience the end of the dry season in
[00:29:37] September, and some in October and November. Meanwhile,
[00:29:41] the regions of NTB and NTT usually end
[00:29:44] the dry season in December and January. In the Sulawesi
[00:29:48] region, for example, there are even areas that end the dry season in
[00:29:51] March. However, for the dry season of
[00:29:55] 2026, there is a high probability that the end of
[00:29:59] the dry season will be delayed due to the El Nino 2 phenomenon.
