Pramono Regarding The LPDP Program: Hopefully Next Year

JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said that the Education Fund Management Institution (LPDP) program is expected to run in 2026. So that many young people can continue their education abroad.

"So I will prepare. Hopefully next year, we can start if only 100 students we give LPDP. For the Jakarta pattern, those who can go to school abroad," Pramono told reporters, Saturday, September 13.

This education program is believed to be a capital for Jakarta children. This is because the competition is to increase the quality of human resources (HR).

"I'm sure it will be a good capital for Jakarta children, especially for the unlucky. Therefore, I want to be given to the unlucky," he said.

"So this will also be in addition to cutting the line of unluckiness, preparing better human resources, then also opening up insights for these children in their families. So I will do that," continued Pramono.

Pramono previously said that this foreign tuition scholarship would be financed from the regional revenue and expenditure budget (APBD) included in the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) education assistance scheme.

"Maybe it's time for us to think about whether the 100 or 200 selected Jakarta students we gave LPDP, but came from the Jakarta Superior Student Card," said Pramono.

Meski demikian, Pramono menegaskan penyaluran beasiswa ini membutuhkan persetujuan dari DPRD DKI Jakarta.

Termasuk juga dengan perluasan jangkauan penyaluran KJMU untuk mahasiswa S1 hingga S3.

"Apa yang menjadi landasan bentalannya bisa kita perkuat, termasuk untuk Kartu Jakarta Mahasiswa Unggul, mohon persetujuan juga nanti dari teman-teman DPRD DKI Jakarta, kalau dulu hanya untuk S1, kami akan kembangkan untuk S1, S2, S3," jelasnya.

However, Pramono emphasized that the distribution of this scholarship requires approval from the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

This includes the expansion of the KJMU distribution range for undergraduate students to doctoral degrees.

"What is the basis for the rental we can strengthen, including for the Superior Student Jakarta Card, we also ask for approval later from our DKI Jakarta DPRD friends, if it was only for S1, we will develop it for S1, S2, S3," he explained.
