The organization highlighted that education is not only a legal right but also a powerful tool for social change. Free and accessible education empowers individuals—especially those from marginalized communities—to break the cycle of poverty and contribute meaningfully to society.

Amnesty also urged the government to strengthen the overall education system by ensuring it is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. This includes adequate budget allocation, clear implementation plans, and regular monitoring to guarantee that the right to education is fulfilled nationwide.

Additionally, the organization called for the inclusion of human rights education in both formal and informal learning environments. Promoting awareness of rights and responsibilities, it argued, is essential for building a just and democratic society.

As Indonesia moves forward, Amnesty International called for immediate government action to implement the ruling in full, ensuring that no child is left behind in the nation’s pursuit of equality and progress through education. (Uki Ruknuddin)
