Prabowo Plans to Build an Outstanding School in Aceh, 100 Hectares of Land Prepared

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced plans to establish an outstanding school in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh Province.

According to Prabowo, a 100-hectare plot of land has been prepared by Nagan Raya Regent Teuku Raja Keumangan for the school’s construction.

"I was also informed by the regent that he has prepared 100 hectares of land. We will soon build an outstanding school in this regency," Prabowo said during the inauguration of the Baitul 'Ala Grand Mosque in Nagan Raya, Aceh, on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Prabowo promised that as long as the local government prepares the land, the central government will construct the outstanding school in the near future.

The President aims to complete the school construction within 18 months.

He also instructed Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Sugiono to expedite the establishment of the outstanding school in Nagan Raya.

"Once the land is ready, let’s start the construction. Minister, how long will it take to complete the campus? What’s with the hesitation? How long? I will give you 18 months. 18 months, God willing. At the latest, it should be done within 24 months," he stated.

Moreover, he ensured that the school will meet international standards.

He hopes the outstanding school will be operational by 2029 at the latest.

"Within 24 months, students should be learning at this school. It will be on par with international schools abroad," Prabowo explained.

Additionally, he mentioned that the government will provide dormitories for students who live far from the school.

"For those coming from distant villages, the children studying there will be accommodated in dormitories; those nearby can return home daily. But it’s clear that Nagan Raya may be one of the first in Indonesia to have this," Prabowo said.
