It is said by the Director for Child Protection Section UNICEF Headquarter, Shema Sen Gupta, during the visit to the Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) in Surabaya, on Tuesday.
Shema said that she and the team had a very pleasant time during their visit to Surabaya. There are numerous things that can be seen here, especially for the children.
"The ministry and Surabaya City government have done excellently. Because when we talk about education, it must be taken to the present-day process that can be understood well by the children," she said during her visit to Public Islamic Junior High School (MTSN) 1 of Surabaya.
According to her, children nowadays, including those in Surabaya, should be able to have an understanding, as well as an agreement, when it comes to education and the use of social media.
"I see that the children in Surabaya are incredible; they are one step forward. They can be asked to make a program, create a digital channel, and share with their peers," she explains.
Moreover, Shema said that the programs made by the children in Surabaya can help their peers who are struggling with their problems or even become victims.
"They are able to create a good protection system for children, as well as a counseling service given to those in need. We are walking towards a similar path. I have high hopes for Surabaya. Everything falls perfectly," Shema said.
On the other hand, The Head of Representative of UNICEF for Java, Arie Rukmantara, said that he and his team greatly appreciate Surabaya's efforts to create many ideas regarding public services for children. Surabaya has been innovating since registering itself in the Child-Friendly City Initiative.
"There are a lot of good models done by Surabaya. That is why it is placed in the second, next to a city in South Africa, for the best cities in the world in terms of public services for children," Arie said. (ADV)
