Meanwhile Riau Provincial Education Bureau Head, Khamsol, supported the program facilitated by the two State-Owned Enterprises. He appreciated the program of those companies because they are developing child education.

"We appreciate it. Because the state-owned companies are watching out for the education of children who are the hope of the nation," he said.
