Tut Wuri Handayani Educational Emblem

This emblem is the official symbol of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. It features a light blue pentagonal shield, representing the foundational basis of education. At the core, there's a white, stylized depiction of a garuda-like bird with broad wings, symbolizing power and freedom, gracefully encompassing a yellow flame or torch. The flame signifies light, knowledge, and an unwavering spirit. Arched above the central design, in black capital letters, is the revered motto 'TUT WURI HANDAYANI'. This old Javanese phrase, meaning 'From behind, providing encouragement' or 'He who is behind, encourages,' beautifully encapsulates the philosophy of Indonesian education, emphasizing guidance and support for students to grow independently.
