Cimahi (The Indonesian News) – President Prabowo Subianto hopes that Taruna Nusantara High School’s Cimahi campus will produce a new generation of young people who can one day lead the country with honesty, integrity and a deep sense of patriotism.
“Continue to instill the values of patriotism and integrity. Rather than giving the country hundreds of intelligent people, give it young men and women who are honest, pure of heart and deeply committed to their homeland. Only then will we succeed as a nation and a state,” Prabowo said Friday (October 30, 2026) during the inauguration of the school’s Cimahi campus in West Java.
Prabowo also urged students to remain diligent and dedicated to their studies. He called on teachers and other educators to provide students with a sound education, guidance and positive examples to follow.
At the same event, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Sugiono, who also heads the Taruna Nusantara Educational Foundation (LPTTN), said the new campus was being established in service of the country’s future.
“The Taruna Nusantara High School campus is dedicated to the future of our nation and state. We hope that, as members of the Taruna Nusantara community, we can continue to fulfill the responsibility entrusted to us through the establishment of this beloved campus,” Sugiono said.
The president later toured the school’s facilities, including its Aeronautics Room.
He was also shown a range of student research projects, including a hybrid ultrasonic vibration-based mosquito control device and a smart irrigation system.
The Cimahi campus occupies 30.2 hectares and includes 30 classrooms, along with other supporting facilities. A total of 677 students are currently enrolled there.
Taruna Nusantara High School now operates six campuses across Indonesia: Magelang in Central Java; Cimahi in West Java; Malang in East Java; Pagar Alam in South Sumatra; the new capital city, Nusantara, in East Kalimantan; and Minahasa in North Sulawesi.
Beginning in the 2025–2026 academic year, under Prabowo’s administration, the school introduced a fully funded scholarship system, making education free for all its students.
