DENPASAR - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi announced his focus on accelerating improvements at the Jakarta Shipping Science College (STIP) after the incident of violence between cadets / cadets.

"We deeply regret the occurrence of violent incidents in STIP Jakarta. This is a deep sorrow and a point that we have to make changes. We will update the vocational education under the auspices of the Ministry of Transportation," said the Minister of Transportation after visiting the family of the late Putu Satria Ananta Rustika, in Klungkung, Bali, Thursday, May 9.

The Minister of Transportation expressed his deep condolences as well as regret and apologies to the family of the late Putu, for the incident of violence in STIP Jakarta which caused the death of the STIP cadet.

In the short term, the Ministry of Transportation will implement a moratorium on the acceptance of cadets at STIP and optimize the acceptance of cadets in other shipping schools under the Ministry of Transportation.

"In addition, it also prohibits the sharing of activities that can encourage gaps in the occurrence of bullying, including eliminating rank and the designation of seniors and juniors in schools," said the Minister of Transportation in a statement in Jakarta.

Then in the medium term, digital-based reports that reduce physical interaction will be optimized, by improving the quality of cadets, as well as separating inter-enforced cadet interactions and eliminating uniform attributes.

The Minister of Transportation said that improvements would also be made in other schools under the auspices of the Ministry of Transportation. "In the long term, similar improvements will be implemented in other schools under the BPSDM of the Ministry of Transportation," said the Minister of Transportation.

Budi admitted that his party is committed to making schools under the Ministry of Transportation as schools that produce quality transportation personnel, both from the aspect of expertise and skills as well as people who are friendly and moral.

To realize this commitment, the Ministry of Transportation will attract input from various parties, including education experts and transportation experts.

Internally, said Budi, the Ministry of Transportation will make fundamental improvements, namely by changing the curriculum that focuses on learning in class and prioritizing soft skills which will later be able to support ready-to-work graduates in the marine and shipping world.

"Regarding the current case, it has been handled legally by the North Jakarta Resort Police," said the Minister of Transportation.

The Minister of Transportation has also instructed the Head of the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) to accelerate internal investigations into elements of the Jakarta STIP Campus that ignore or do not implement the established SOPs, so that this case can occur.

"Furthermore, institutional sanctions will be imposed in accordance with applicable regulations," said the Minister of Transportation. Representing the family of the late Putu, Acting Regent of Klungkung Nyoman Jendrika hopes that the Ministry of Transportation will continue to pay attention to the families of the victims.

"Regarding the improvement efforts at STIP, we hope that the program can run, so that in the future the incident will not happen again. And hopefully this will be the last incident for all students wherever they are," said Jendrika.
