Acting as the supervisor of the RI's 78th Anniversary Ceremony was Deputy Director I PNM Yosi Afandi, S.Sos., M.AB. In the Minister of Education and Culture's remarks read by Deputy Director 1 PNM summarized several important points. One of them is the emphasis on eliminating violence in the educational environment through the Minister of Education and Culture's Regulation on the Prevention and Handling of Violence in educational units. The hope is that all school residents will increasingly be guaranteed their rights to study, create and work safely and comfortably.

Furthermore, mutual cooperation from all parties is needed to realize these good conditions. The role of ministries, regional governments, education unit residents, and families is also the key to eliminating violence in the educational environment.
