City Secretary Assistant for Public Welfare Division, Bambang Sugiono, stated that starting next year Jakarta Provincial Government will distribute Jakarta Smart Cards (KJP) to private school students. The distribution is expected would be right on target and better because the KJP’s acceptance mechanism has been upgraded.
I ask the schools to conduct data collection because the system will be online. The mechanism is clear, not through relief letters (SKTM) from urban village, but through schools, parents, and then SKTM
