Through the Rp500 million fund from the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), it is hoped that it can help free the diplomas of these underprivileged students in Bengkulu City.

The Rp500 million budget will be used to pay for the delayed release of the diploma so that the students receive their diplomas without any problems, especially financial-related.

Through the certificate exemption program or independence can help students in Bengkulu City to continue their education to the next level or seek work by having proof of formal education.

And can reduce the education gap and provide fair opportunities for all students in Bengkulu.
