Jakarta, March 9 -- The Indonesian government is committed to restoring thousands of schools damaged by floods and landslides that struck Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra in November 2025, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian said.

"There are around 3,700 schools across the three provinces that require intervention, which will take time to complete," he said in a statement on Monday.

Karnavian, who heads the Task Force for Accelerating Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in Sumatra, said the disasters damaged or destroyed early childhood education centers and schools at the elementary to senior high levels.

"We are currently working with regional governments to coordinate and compile the necessary data," he said.
