Jakarta Provincial Government includes the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP) program to become one of city priority program. This is shown by increasing the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP) budget of Rp 2.2 trillion in 2015 APBD (City Budget) proposal was that submitted by Jakarta Education Department (Disdik). The fund is adjusted by the number of KJP recipients as many as 39,850 students this year or three times bigger compared to the previous year amounting to Rp 700 billion.

We propose Rp 2.2 trillion for 2015 KJP

Jakarta Education Department Head, Arie Budhiman said, his side will tighten the requirements of KJP distribution to students by holding last year's KJP implementation evaluation. If there are students who violate the terms, they will be immediately eliminated.

"We're still working on it. Data verification is also needed to avoid double and invalid data. We propose Rp 2.2 trillion for 2015 KJP ," he said, Monday (1/12).

KJP Recipients Tightened, City Council Fully Support

According to him, the temporary data of KJP recipients is 39,850 students. "We may eliminate students with certain cases such as naughty and brawl," he added.

There were data duplication related to KJP recipients during implementation several years ago. "It was a incorrect distribution," he continued.

The KJP distribution mechanism this year is not much different from the previous years. Students will receive KJP every three months through their personal account. However, he hoped the delay of city budget ratification will not affect the KJS distribution this year.
