PPDB SMAN In Depok Troubled Amid PDN Disturbances, Registrant Accounts Containing Certificates, Reports And Families Of Bekasi Students

JAKARTA - New Student Admissions (PPDB) at the SMA/SMK level in Depok, West Java (West Java) for the 2024/2025 school year experienced problems amid disturbances from the National Data Center (PDN).

Parents complained about their child's account being used to register in the first batch of PPDB when it opened for the second batch of registration today containing data and documents belonging to other students.

"When my child's account was opened, it contained the names of other people in Bekasi. There were diploma documents, pass certificates, family cards (KK), parents' ID cards, school report cards as well," Ahmad F told VOI, Monday, June 24.

Setelah mengakes akun anaknya di website https://ppdb.jabarprov.go.id/ untuk pendaftaran PPDB gelombang kedua, Ahmad juga mendapati situs tidak menayangkan informasi terkini terkait gangguan yang dialami dirinya dan wali murid lain di Depok.

As parents as well as office workers, according to Ahmad, PPDB registration is accompanied by problems that are considered problematic and take time. "When PPDB [Depok] the first batch of servers is down," he added.

Not to mention, at this time, the schedule for the announcement of the second wave of PPDB was too tight with the start of teaching and learning activities for SMA/SMK for the 2024/2025 academic year, both in early July.

The short time range with the start of the 2024/2025 school year, it is considered that Ahmad will make it difficult for parents to find a replacement for the school if the second batch of PPDB registrants do not pass.

"If private schools are full, it's a hassle," he added.

Ahmad hopes that his son, who wants to continue his education level in public schools, is only about one kilometer away from home, making it easier to achieve dreams, not making it difficult for problems to arise even though it is only in the registration stage.

"Technology is allowed, but there is a manual, if you can't, there is anticipation, don't force it, in the context of a month PPDB, the game is not stressed," he said.

Previously, the Data and Information Technology Center (Pusdatin) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) issued a letter regarding service disruptions that had an impact on a number of applications hosted at the National Data Center (PDN) 2.

In the letter dated June 21, 2024, the disturbance occurred since June 20, 2024 and had an impact on applications such as SINDE, KIP-Kuliah, Form, PPKS Portal, Kemdikbudristek Scholarship, Mobilizing Clouds and other Services used by work units under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Culture.
