National Education Day or Haripnidika National in Indonesia is a holiday where all people of Indonesia, including especially students and teachers, celebrate about knowledge and education. This holiday takes place in May 2nd, which means in this year it’s last Saturday. And the person who started this holiday is Kihaja Dewantara. He is the founder of the Tamansiswa Education Ministry. Also there is a quote to this holiday which is Tutguri Hande Yani which means that we should learn others by mentoring and coaching. And this holiday is very important to us and me because I am a student because there are so many children in Indonesia that can’t have access to equal education. Which means that the kids who live in underdeveloped areas that didn’t have enough electricity or internet can’t access the internet to gain any knowledge or find information. And a lot of these underdeveloped areas also don’t have schools. Some do have schools but they are very broken down and they have not been upgraded or repaired anything like that. And so by celebrating National Education Day, we encourage that all people of the world should get equal rights to free education, free access of information from the internet.

National Education Day, or Haripnidika National, in Indonesia is a holiday where all people of Indonesia, especially students and teachers, celebrate knowledge and education. This holiday takes place on May 2nd, which means this year it falls on a Saturday. The person who started this holiday is Kihaja Dewantara, the founder of the Tamansiswa Education Ministry. There is also a quote associated with this holiday, which is Tutguri Hande Yani, meaning that we should learn from others by mentoring and coaching. This holiday is very important to us, especially to me as a student, because many children in Indonesia cannot access equal education. This includes kids who live in underdeveloped areas that lack sufficient electricity or internet access to gain knowledge or find information. Many of these underdeveloped areas also do not have schools. Some do have schools, but they are in poor condition and have not been upgraded or repaired. By celebrating National Education Day, we encourage that all people in the world should have equal rights to free education and free access to information from the internet.
