The INDONESIAN, Bogor — As part of efforts to support the Sekolah Rakyat Program and advance education in Indonesia, influencer and founder of Pemimpin Masa Depan media, Elhan Zakaria, visited Sekolah ACIKITA located in Kota Wisata Cibubur, Bogor Regency, West Java.
He was warmly welcomed by students who are fluent in both Japanese and English a performance that left him impressed with their academic capability and discipline.

A routine Indonesia Japan student exchange program
Educational subsidies for orphans
Integration of Japanese culture with nationalism and civic-defense values in its curriculum
Sekolah ACIKITA (Aku Cinta Indonesia Kita) carries the motto:
“Fighting Together to Build the Nation Through Educational Efforts to Break the Chain of National Problems.”
Combining strong cultural foundations with a modern curriculum, ACIKITA’s educational approach from kindergarten through high school is designed to produce students with strong character, academic excellence, and the capacity to serve as role models both nationally and internationally.
ACIKITA School Principal Marisa Isnaini expressed hope that the school would gain wider recognition as a liberating and inclusive educational alternative.
“Indonesia has great potential that can be optimized through education to eradicate poverty. We hope ACIKITA continues to grow in helping more students both those who are financially able and those who are not to access better quality education,” she said.
Meanwhile, Elhan Zakaria praised ACIKITA’s character-building approach as a model worth developing nationwide.
“ACIKITA’s character education should be replicated. The alignment of Japanese culture from elementary to high school prepares students well for exchange programs. I hope ACIKITA continues to ‘Indonesianize,’ adopting Japanese learning approaches without abandoning local wisdom,” he stated.
