Andra Farizki Ramdhani, a 10th-grade student at People’s High School (SRMA 10) in South Jakarta, is a testament to resilience and determination despite growing up without a father. Raised by his hardworking mother, Andra has found new hope through the People’s School initiative launched by President Prabowo Subianto. This program has provided him with the opportunity to receive a proper education, breaking the barriers created by financial struggles.
The People’s School, where Andra studies, is a boarding school that has challenged him to adapt to dorm life while offering a supportive and engaging learning environment.

The facilities at SRMA 10 have exceeded Andra’s expectations, providing him with comfortable living arrangements and conducive study spaces. He is actively involved in various extracurricular activities, including judo and informatics, nurturing his passion while expanding his knowledge and skills.
With dreams of becoming a judo athlete and pursuing higher education at the Defense University (Unhan), Andra remains focused and ambitious. His aspirations are not only personal but also driven by a desire to honor and support his mother, who has been his pillar of strength and encouragement.
Andra is grateful for the opportunity to study at the People’s School without financial burden, emphasizing the inclusive and supportive nature of the program. He recognizes the importance of this initiative in providing underprivileged children like himself with the chance to pursue their education and dreams without the constraints of additional costs or stringent selection processes.
From the classroom to the sports field and the dormitory, Andra’s experiences at the People’s School have shaped his character and independence, fueling his determination to achieve his goals. With his mother’s unwavering support and prayers, he believes that his dreams are well within reach, thanks to the transformative impact of the People’s School.
