Epilogue: The Free Nutritious Meals Program and The Transfer of Troubled Children to Military Barracks

Abstract

MBG program from Prabowo government aims to provide free, nutritious meals to school children in Indonesia and prevent stunting. This program fulfills Prabowo's campaign promise, providing enlightening political learning for the Indonesian people. However, inadequate preparation in terms of facilities, human resources, and funding has caused numerous problems, sparking public backlash. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi's policy has also drawn reactions because it is considered an oversimplification of juvenile delinquency. Military barracks are synonymous with violence, sending troubled children there is not a solution to addressing the problem of juvenile delinquency, as it is thought to produce a generation of violence. These two interesting topics were chosen for the survey.
