We not cut the budget but adapted the amount to the needs
Technical Management Unit (UPT) Head of Central Planning Control of Personal Education Financing and Operations (P6O) Jakarta Educational Department, Susie Nurhati uttered, the budget is not cut but adapted to the number of verified candidates.
"We not cut the budget but adapted the amount to the needs," She explained.
KJP Program Budgeted by Rp 2.4 TSusie continued, the amount was adjusted because the provision of KJP a year ago was misdirected and given to students from other regions.
"As example, the students who live in Bekasi and study in Kalimalang, East Jakarta still receive KJP," he told.
Susie said, the KJP should be given to the capital citizens who are poor and has the identity card.
"Last year, there were about 572 students who receive the KJP while this year, the KJP receiver only reach 489,150 students from Elementary School (SD), Junior High School (SMP), Senior High School (SMA), Vocational High School (SMK) and Teaching Learning Center (PKBM)," he told
Susie added, her side also changes the pattern of KJP receiver recruitment only through school because it is considered to know the students who deserve KJP. She optimist, this pattern will minimize deviations in the reality. Moreover, the Bank DKI wills screen KJP recipient's account number so there will be no data duplication.
"We will use NIK for entry data to suppress deviation more," he said.
