The Council Approves The Bogor City Education Office Budget Of IDR 33 Billion To Build 2 Schools

BOGOR - Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD approved the draft General Policy on the Priority Budget Ceiling of the Temporary Budget (KUA PPAS) for the 2024 fiscal year proposed by the Bogor City Education Office (Disdik).

Based on the results of a working meeting on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD approved a budget of Rp634 billion proposed by the Bogor City Education Office.

However, according to Akhmad Saeful Bakhri, Commission IV has a note that the Bogor City Education Office needs to fulfill.

Namely the realization of the construction of two new school units located in Cimahpar 3 and Duta Pakuan.

"The struggle for the Bogor City DPRD and in particular commission IV for the addition of school units can only be realized next year. Based on data submitted by the Kadisdik, the location is in North Bogor," said Akhmad Saeful Bakhri, Wednesday 9 August.

In the 2024 PPAS KUA, the budget prepared by the Bogor City Education Office is to build 2 new school units amounting to Rp33 billion.

This is considered a good signal for solving the root problem of this year's New Student Admissions (PPDB) problem.

"Hopefully, with the addition of a new school unit, we can answer the PPDB issue, which was crowded yesterday. We from Commission IV will certainly oversee the development that will be carried out in stages from year to year," said Akhmad Saeful Bakhri.

In addition to the construction of new schools, Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD also asked the Bogor City Education Office to ensure that the budget for the new classroom development program for the SD level is IDR 26.5 billion.

As well as a medium or heavy rehabilitation program for elementary school classrooms of Rp59 billion so that it can be implemented.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD, Devie Prihartini Sultani, said that the DPRD's encouragement and support for improving the education sector was based on the results of an inspection conducted by Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD to SMPN 20 and to SD Panaragan Kidul earlier this year.

"With the budget support and supervision that we carry out. We hope that the Disdik ranks can realize all of these programs next year and continue to synergize for the good of the world of education," he concluded.
