VOInews, Jakarta: In recognition of schools' efforts to implement environment-based programs, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag), and the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) awarded 720 schools for their achievements. The awards were presented by the Deputy Minister of Environment and Forestry on Wednesday (2/10) at the KLHK office in Jakarta.
 
Nur Syarifah, Senior Advisor for Regulation at Kemendikbudristek, emphasized that this award symbolizes a joint commitment between the ministries to develop environmental education. "This reflects the spirit of cooperation that drives us all to cultivate a future generation that is conscious and responsible toward the environment. The Adiwiyata Award is not only a recognition of schools' success in managing the environment but also a collective effort to build environmentally conscious future generations," she stated.
 
Syarifah further highlighted that the national Merdeka Curriculum allows schools the flexibility to integrate environmental education into their teaching materials. “The Merdeka Curriculum provides space for schools to develop learning materials, and it also allows various stakeholders to engage in the educational process,” she explained.
 
Deputy Minister of Environment and Forestry, Alue Dohong, in his remarks, stressed the crucial role schools play in shaping future generations to care for the environment. "Schools, as educational institutions, play a key role in changing behavior, shaping character, and producing a future generation that cares about the environment," he said.
 
He added that environmental education is a lifelong process. "The earlier we instill environmental awareness, the greater our chance of creating a better world and a sustainable environment," Alue added.
 
The Adiwiyata program is guided by the Ministerial Regulation of Environment and Forestry No. 05/2013, which sets the framework for the program’s implementation. The award is given to schools that adopt environmentally conscious practices and foster a healthy learning environment. The ultimate goal is to raise environmental awareness within the school community and encourage responsibility for protecting the environment.
 
This year’s award recognized 720 schools, with 208 receiving the prestigious Sekolah Adiwiyata Mandiri award and 512 being honored as Sekolah Adiwiyata Nasional. The Adiwiyata Nasional designation represents the initial level of the program, while the Mandiri level is awarded to schools that have sustained their commitment to environmental education at the national level.
