In 2021 we will not only talk about access, but also the quality of learning in schools. There are three key elements, namely, citizen access to participate in education; improving the quality of education; as well as fulfilling the number and quality of educators and education personnel. All SPM indicators apply to all regions. Currently each region has an SPM education score, with this index the region knows how big it is positioningall this time.

Through this activity, it is hoped that participants will gain a deeper understanding of the features and the use of RP in educational units and local government. Based on the differences in participant backgrounds, it is hoped that the benefits of RP can be spread to all groups stakeholders for the advancement of education in Indonesia.
