Borobudur contains approximately 2,670 individual bas reliefs (1,460 narrative and 1,212 decorative panels), which cover the façades and balustrades. The total relief surface is 2,500 square metres (27,000 sq ft). The temple is constructed in such a way that it reveals various levels of terraces, showing intricate architecture that goes from being heavily ornamented with bas-reliefs to being plain in Arupadhatu circular terraces. The first four terrace walls are showcases for bas-relief sculptures. These are exquisite, considered to be the most elegant and graceful in the ancient Buddhist world.
The bas-reliefs in Borobudur depicted many scenes of daily life in 8th-century ancient Java, from the courtly palace life, hermit in the forest, to those of commoners in the village. It also depicted temple, marketplace, various flora and fauna, and also native vernacular architecture. People depicted here are the images of king, queen, princes, noblemen, courtier, soldier, servant, commoners, priest and hermit. The reliefs also depicted mythical spiritual beings in Buddhist beliefs such as asuras, gods, bodhisattvas, kinnaras, gandharvas and apsaras. The images depicted on bas-relief often served as reference for historians to research for certain subjects, such as the study of architecture, weaponry, economy, fashion, and also mode of transportation of 8th-century Maritime Southeast Asia.

Indonesia, 2020: Syaiful (right), 12, studies at home with his mother, Nurhidayah, in Banyumas, Central Java. Syaiful has a physical impairment and cannot freely move his lower body or his right hand. He attends Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, part of the inclusive education programme under the 1in11 partnership, a collaboration between the Government of Indonesia, UNICEF and The Ma'arif Nahdlatul Ulama Education Institute, with support from Reach Out to Asia (ROTA) and the FC Barcelona Foundation. Through the 1in11 partnership, 13 out of 14 teachers at Syaiful’s school have received trainings and workshops related to inclusive education, offering new knowledge and skills such as how to identify disabilities and learning barriers, develop individual learning plans, modify learning sessions to make them more inclusive and talk to children positively. This has enabled the Madrasa to better support children with disabilities, who often experience difficulties finding inclusive schools in their communities.
For every child, education.
