Additionally, the city plans to launch scholarship programs similar to the Education Fund Management Institution (LPDP), but managed by the Jakarta Provincial Government.

"Indeed, employment issues need to be handled carefully," he asserted.
In driving economic transformation, the governor stressed his efforts to change the bureaucratic work culture within the Jakarta Provincial Government by reducing reliance on the City Budget (APBD) and exploring alternative funding sources for Jakarta's development, including utilizing funds from the Building Area Coefficient (KLB).
Pramono asserted that Jakarta must prepare to transform into a global city with competitive human resources. Hence, the Jakarta Provincial Government is committed to continuously improving and reshaping the face of Jakarta.
