"Who says meetings of national education figures are always awkward? During a visit to the Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic University in Jepara, Prof. Abdul Mu'ti successfully elicited laughter from the audience. He joked: 'I'm definitely going to be big news here, with the headline: The Minister of Elementary and Secondary Education, Who is Also the General Secretary of Muhammadiyah, Joins NU!'
" However, behind the roaring laughter, the Minister sounded a warning. Citing UNESCO, he highlighted the phenomenon of 'Schooling without Learning'—where children attend school but don't actually learn. Furthermore, exposure to short-form digital media like TikTok is shortening our children's attention spans and making it difficult to focus. This is the real challenge: how do we change the way we learn so that children's literacy and numeracy are not just numbers on paper, but inherent understanding. Come on, listen to the Minister's in-depth reflections!"
