Deputy Speaker of the Surabaya Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), Bahtiyar Rifai, supports the direction of Surabaya City's development to be more synchronized with the provincial and central government, as outlined in the 2025-2029 Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD).
Besides making it easier for the public to obtain the best services and enjoy the results of development, this synchronization will strengthen the direction of national development.
"Surabaya's development direction must be connected and aligned with the provincial and central government's RPJMD, across all sectors," Bahtiyar Rifai said.
He said, starting with the education, health, infrastructure, transportation, and various other sectors. When Surabaya decided to build several new public elementary and junior high schools, it would ideally also be followed by the construction of new public senior high schools.
"In the 2025-2029 RPJMD, Surabaya will have at least four new elementary schools and nine new junior high schools ," he said.
