The Literacy Mother of Paser Regency for the 2022-2024 period -
In the inauguration of Sinta Rosmayenti as the Literacy Mother of Paser Regency for the 2022-2024 period, the Head of the National Library of Indonesia, Muhammad Syarif Bando, stated that literacy mothers can encourage the reading culture of the community, especially the younger generation, which is the foundation of the nation's future. That way, literacy mothers support the younger generation in welcoming a bright future.
"I believe that God Almighty will always bless you in serving the nation and state and the people of Paser Regency," he said at the Paser Regency Hall, Tana Paser, Paser Regency, Monday (14/3/2022).
He explained that currently, literacy is not only one's ability to read and write. Literacy has a broad meaning, namely the depth of a person's knowledge that can later be used to create high-quality goods or services, and be able to compete in the international arena.
“Literacy talks about what we want to produce and can be widely marketed. Everything that has a high value must be expensive, but everything can be learned by reading, "explained Syarif Bando.
In a press release received by Voice of Indonesia on Monday (14/03/22), the Regent of Paser, Fahmi Fadli, revealed that although he is still struggling in developing reading interest and infrastructure, his party is always trying to improve the situation. This is done by establishing synergies with related parties.
"I believe holding this activity can be a starting point for the progress of Paser Regency," he said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of Commission X DPR RI, Hetifah Sjaifudian, added that libraries are often underestimated. But now, with the program carried out by the National Library of Indonesia, namely the Transformation of Social Inclusion-Based Libraries, the library is transformed into a space for the public to gain knowledge. In addition, the library becomes the foundation of the community to improve their welfare.
"This does not mean that the role of schools and teachers is not important, but the library will become an alternative to formal education that is preferred to seek knowledge by self-study," he said//VOI
