Get Info No Sale And Purchase Chaires Of State University Via Independent Paths? Kasih Tofu Kemendikbudristek

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Education for Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) has asked the public to report allegations of buying and selling seats for prospective new students at state universities. This step is considered to help prevent the recurrence of bribery cases such as at the University of Lampung (Unila).

"The public can participate in monitoring and reporting any irregularities," said Acting Director General of Higher Education and Technology of the Ministry of Education and Culture Nizam to VOI, Tuesday, December 13.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Culture ensures that internal supervision will also be carried out by the Directorate General of Education and Technology and the Ministry of Education and Culture. Thus, Permendikbudristek Number 48 of 2022 can run.

Moreover, the law is expected to increase accountability, transparency, and clarity of information in the selection to enter public campuses. As for the regulation, it is written, there are three types of selection, namely National Selection Based on Achievement (SNBP), National Selection Based on Tests (SNBT), and Independent Selection by PTN.

This selection is run by the Education Testing Management Center (BPPP) which is under the Ministry of Education and Culture.

"We also based the preparation of the Permendikbudristek on recommendations from the Deputy for Prevention of the KPK," said Nizam.

Previously, the KPK suspected that the sale and purchase of new student admission seats did not only occur in Unila. This allegation emerged after they investigated the bribe that ensnared the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani.

"Actually, based on the information we received, it was more or less like that at other universities. So there is a bargaining mechanism," Alexander told reporters, Monday, December 12.

For information, the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani testified to receive money from officials who entrusted their children and siblings to be accepted as Unila students.

This statement was conveyed when he was a witness at the Corruption Court at the Tanjungkarang District Court with the defendant Andi Desfiandi. He mentioned a number of names, including the Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas).

In addition, there are also other names that have been entrusted by a number of parties including members of the Indonesian House of Representatives.
