must be right on target
Acting Jakarta Education Agency Head, Budi Awaluddin, said the agency will make sure that the assistance receivers are poor people or vulnerable people who really need it.
"This program must be right on target, and the distribution of this assistance must be more selective to families who really need it and be recorded in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS). From elementary to high school/equivalent levels, both public and private schools, if you are classified as a poor citizen, you are entitled to this program," he said, as quoted from Jakarta Provincial Government's press release, Monday (6/10).
Disdik Explains Reasons for Cancellation of KJP Plus RecipientsBudi explained that distribution in phase I 2024 is a little late because it requires matching and re-verification, as recipients are confirmed to be DKI Jakarta residents who live in Jakarta. Then, KJP Plus recipients do not have four-wheeled vehicles or property assets above one billion rupiah. Apart from that, in the family card there is no status as a Civil Servant (PNS), Army/Police, member of the MPR RI/DPR RI/DPD RI/Provincial DPRD/Regency/City DPRD, or permanent employee of BUMN/BUMD.
"To ensure that KJP Plus recipients comply with the requirements, field verification needs to be carried out again. Of course, the public wants to see and feel that KJP Plus recipients are right on target," he added.
However, Budi added, until now the data from the results of matching and verification in the field is still moving. In order to ensure compatibility between existing data and KJP Plus recipients, the verification team will be more selective in 2024.
"People don't need to worry, I guarantee it will be disbursed this week. We just want to maintain and ensure that the budget intended for underprivileged people is right on target, so that we can realize the principle of justice in the education sector together. I also urge us to work together to develop this country starting with education, so that we can achieve a golden Indonesia by 2045," he explained.
As for information, the KJP Plus Program is given specifically to residents of DKI Jakarta and is included in the strategic program in order to provide access to 12 years of compulsory education to students aged 6-21 years who come from low-income families and are registered with DTKS.
