The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The plan for free college education for the children of TNI and Polri families is one of the 21 flagship programs of Ganjar-Mahfud, as a form of appreciation and is expected to help these public servants. This program complements their other program, which is one house, one scholar. Ganjar and Mahfud indeed come from humble families. Their parents worked hard to bear the cost of their children's education."

During college, Ganjar took a one-year break, selling gasoline on the side of the road to help his father, and only after he had accumulated enough money did he complete his studies at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Yogyakarta. It was his difficult past that drove Ganjar-Mahfud to launch the program of one house one graduate and free education for the children of TNI and Polri soldiers.

Ganjar has a way and has experience in realizing programs like this. For ten years as the governor of Central Java, Ganjar has established 17 high schools/vocational schools (SMA/SMK) and dormitories. Children from underprivileged families can attend school and stay in the dormitories for free. Currently, the alumni of these schools amount to 1800 people. They work in many companies both within and outside the country, such as Japan, Korea, and Australia, sending money to their parents and serving as trading capital for their families.
