KPAI Highlights No SOP For Child Development In Military Barak

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) highlighted that there were no standard standards that became a reference in the implementation of the Special West Java Panca Waluya Character Education Program or military barracks education.

"There are no standard standards that have become a reference in organizing programs, such as no guidelines, technical instructions, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)," said KPAI Deputy Chair Jasra Putra at a press conference in Jakarta, Friday, May 16.

According to him, this resulted in differences in the implementation pattern at the two locations for the implementation of the Panca Waluya Character Education Program, West Java, Special.

Jasra Putra said the difference includes program structures, the availability of infrastructure, the ratio between participants and coaches, as well as school subject teaching methods that are not uniform even though they come from different classes and majors.

"This condition is feared to affect the quality of the results of the program as a whole," said Jasra Putra.

Meanwhile, in terms of the structure of the character education program, he considered it quite good.

The Panca Character Education Program, Waluya, West Java, specifically contains important elements such as state defense education, mental, spiritual and social strengthening, disciplinary development, increased independence, and strengthening national values.

KPAI has visited the location for the implementation of the Special West Java Panca Waluya Character Education Program, namely at the Military Barak Regiment 1 Shira Yudha Purwakarta and the Rindam III Siliwangi State Defense Education Depot, Cikole, West Bandung Regency.

The visit of KPAI aims to obtain accurate information about the realization of program implementation, ensure mitigation of the risk of violating the basic principles of child protection, assessing appropriate and adequate regulations, the availability of human resources and adequate budgets as well as being sustainable, comprehensive services and in accordance with the basic principles of child protection, and ensuring that the child protection ecosystem works optimally.
