Indonesia’s Constitutional Court just struck down the use of education funds to pay for a massive free meals program for kids and moms, ordering the government to separate the funding by 2028. While the court acknowledged the program’s value, it ruled that education money must stay in classrooms—not kitchens. Teachers are cautiously optimistic but wary of loopholes, fearing the government might repackage the funding. With a two-year transition window, activists are pushing for immediate action to ensure the ruling isn’t just paper. This landmark decision tests whether constitutional mandates are binding—or just suggestions—and could reshape how Indonesia funds its most vital social programs.
