We plan to start it by the end of January and finish in June

"We plan to start it by the end of January and finish in June," she stated, Wednesday (1/17).

She explained, registration is using integrated data base (BDT) that can reach through urban village. Later on , those children will be recommended to enter education system, either formal or non-formal.

"We will recommend them to get formal or non-formal education according to their educational level. If they don't want to go to school, we will offer courses," she conveyed.

KJP Plus 2018 budget reaches Rp 3.97 trillion. Children will get KJP Plus fund according to educational level though they didn't get formal education. While for those who get courses will be given the same as in Teaching and Learning Center (PKBM).
