Indonesia’s Constitutional Court (MK) has determined it found no documentation proving Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka possesses an equivalent high school diploma from overseas education. The ruling pertains to claims regarding the completion of secondary education. Specifically, the Court stated it did not discover documents demonstrating equivalence to a senior high school (SMA) completion for Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s education abroad. This decision comes as part of an ongoing scrutiny of the VP’s qualifications. The initial claim, as highlighted in the original statement, questioned whether requiring high school completion for presidential/vice presidential candidates was relevant given the VP’s situation. Despite the VP not completing formal SMA education, the statement suggests a desire for Indonesian children to attain this level of education. The court’s finding impacts the ongoing debate surrounding educational requirements for high office in Indonesia.
