“Makanya kita mengapresiasi Kepala Dinas Pendidikan di Papua yang  telah bekerja keras untuk tujuan ini. Sehingga pendidikan di Papua kedepan tidak dipandang rendah seperti yang disampaikan kelompok-kelompok tertentu,” tegasnya.

Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Papua Christian Sohilait menyatakan pihaknya Tengah gencar-gencarnya mendorong program merdeka belajar di Bumi Cenderawasih. Namun demikian, butuh kerja sama semua elemen terkait untuk dapat memaksimalkan hasilnya.

“Intinya semua elemen tak terkecuali keluarga, punya tanggung jawab untuk memajukan program merdeka belajar. Kita sudah dorong program ini lewat kabupaten/kota dan kami bersyukur hasil Raker dua bulan lalu sudah mulai jalan,” ujar ia. 

Sementara dari hasil Raker Dinas Pendidikan se-Papua tersebut, tambah Christian menghasilkan delapan program kerja. Diantaranya, mendorong semua kurikulum merdeka di sekolah-sekolah. Kemudian melakukan pemberantasan angka buta huruf di seluruh kabupaten. 

Selanjutnya, memastikan anggaran pendidikan berjalan di kabupaten lewat dukungan visi dan misi Bupati serta memastikan keterlibatan stakeholder dalam dunia Pendidikan. 

“Kemudian karena teribtnya peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nomor 40 tahun 2024 mendorong yayasan yang selama ini bekerja puluhan tahun bekerja, kita juga mendorong diberikan penghargaan oleh pemerintah dengan cara mereka bisa mendapatkan sertifikasi guru S1.”

“Sedangkan soal permasalahan terbatasnya sarana dan prasarana atau kami minta dukungan dari struktur pemerintahan untuk supaya ada kenyamanan di sekolah,” tandasnya.
