Improving Literacy Quality, Bandung City Government Confirms K-LIK Ambassadors and 2022 Reading Ambassadors

The four K-LIK ambassadors who were appointed represented the Districts of Cibiru, Panyileukan, Ujungberung, and Gedebage.

That way, currently there are 7 areas in Bandung City that have K-LIK ambassadors, including Cinambo, Cibeunying Kidul, Sukasari, Cibiru, Panyileukan, Ujungberung, and Gedebage sub-districts.

The chairman of the TP PKK who is also the Literacy Mother of the City of Bandung, Yunimar Mulyana hopes that the inauguration of the K-LIK Ambassador can increase the literacy index in the city of Bandung.

In addition, the K-LIK Ambassadors are also expected to be able to integrate literacy with daily community activities, as well as Bandung City Government programs such as Kang Pisman.

“We have 30 sub-districts and 151 sub-districts. The hope is that there will be K-LIK ambassadors in each of these regional elements," said Yunimar.

Furthermore, there will be 23 K-LIK Ambassadors confirmed by the Bandung City Government to meet 30 Districts with a representative of 1 K-LIK Ambassador.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Bandung City Archives and Library (Disarpus) Office, Fajar Kurniawan, said that the inauguration of the Regional K-LIK Ambassadors and the Bandung City Reading Ambassadors was a show of literacy activities at the regional level.

"Hopefully, the results of this literacy can be applied and not just a discourse," he said.

In the same place, the Cibiru sub-district head Didin Dikayuana said literacy is a long-term investment to welcome Indonesia Gold 2045.

He also considered that the use of gadgets in the era of technological and information advancement can support literacy rates, especially in the city of Bandung.

“Come on, train our children to read, even via gadgets. At least an hour a day," he ordered.

For information, this event is also towards the K-LIK Festival. The newly inaugurated K-LIK ambassadors include:

1. Desi Nurcahyati (MAN 2 Bandung, Ambassador of K-LIK Cibiru District),
2. Ditha Purnamawati (Bhakti Kencana Vocational School, K-LIK Ambassador Panyileukan District),
3. Keisya Salsabila Senjaya (SMAN 5 Bandung, Ambassador of K-LIK Ujungberung District),
4. Sheila Purnama R. Aisy (SMAN 27 Bandung, Ambassador of K-LIK Gedebage District).
