Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan — The Education Office (Disdik) of Central Kalimantan Province conducted an evaluation of a school in Palangka Raya on Saturday (June 2026) after a video showing students allegedly engaging in inappropriate behavior inside a classroom spread widely and drew public attention.
Head of the Central Kalimantan Education Office, Reza Prabowo, said the agency immediately coordinated with the school principal and summoned the parents of the two students involved. The step was taken to resolve the issue comprehensively and provide proper guidance.
The students have also received disciplinary action and are required to undergo regular counseling sessions with the school’s guidance and counseling (BK) teachers.
Viral Video Happened During Break Time
The video reportedly began circulating in early June 2026. The incident occurred during school break time, not during teaching and learning activities.
However, the Education Office stressed that it still considered the matter serious because it took place within the school environment, highlighting the need for stronger supervision and character building.
“This is certainly a concern for all of us. Any inappropriate behavior in schools will be evaluated,” said Reza Prabowo in Palangka Raya.
He emphasized that the Central Kalimantan Provincial Government, in line with Governor Agustiar Sabran’s direction, is prioritizing student character development. Students are expected not only to excel academically but also to demonstrate strong ethics, morals, and manners.
Reza also issued an apology to the public and confirmed that a comprehensive evaluation of the school supervision system will be carried out.
As a preventive measure, the Education Office is considering strengthening school monitoring systems, including proposing the installation of CCTV cameras in classrooms and school environments.
“We will propose that every school be monitored through CCTV to create a safer and more orderly environment and reduce the chance of similar incidents,” he explained.
In addition, the Education Office continues to strengthen character education programs to ensure a more conducive learning environment.
The local government stated that this case will serve as an important evaluation point to improve the education system in Central Kalimantan, especially in terms of supervision and student behavior guidance.
“We ask for prayers and support from all parties so that education in Central Kalimantan continues to improve and our students develop good manners and ethics as expected by society,” Reza concluded.
