PT Sari Aditya Loka (PT SAL), has once again achieved success in the field of education.
Nirai, one of the students from the Tribe of Anak Dalam (SAD), has successfully graduated from SMKN 8 Sarolangun.
Nirai was awarded as a Friendship Student at the graduation ceremony of class XII students for the 2023/2024 academic year held on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at the multi-function building in Bukit Suban Village, Sarolangun Regency.
Slamet Riyadi, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Assistant of PT SAL, also expressed his gratitude for Nirai’s achievement.
With 65 students graduating this year, Nirai is the first student from the SAD to complete his education at SMKN 8 Sarolangun.
He comes from the Betaring-Kutai group, part of Temenggung Nangkus, and chose the Accounting major because of her keen interest in numeracy.
“We are very delighted to see the achievements of Nirai, this is proof of the company’s commitment to supporting the education of the SAD community. Through the Astra Cerdas program, we hope there will be other achievements from SAD students,” said Slamet.
Slamet added that Nirai’s success not only brings pride to himself and his family but also to the SAD community as a whole.
It is proof that inclusive access to education can bring positive change and open up greater opportunities for all children, regardless of their background.
Irawan, Principal of SMKN 8 Sarolangun, is proud that this is the first time a SAD student has graduated from the school.
“Nirai is a clear example that with the right commitment and support, children from Suku Anak Dalam can also attain higher education and achieve proud achievements,” said Irawan.
Nirai personally expressed her gratitude to all those who have supported her.
“I am very grateful to my teachers, friends, and PT SAL who have given me full support during my studies. Hopefully, this accomplishment can inspire my younger siblings from the SAD community to continue their enthusiasm for learning,” said Nirai.
