JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government has started trials of free private school programs in 40 educational units ranging from elementary, junior high, to high school/vocational schools.

However, the Secretary of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Taga Radja Gah, admitted that the DKI Provincial Government has not been able to distribute free school funding at this time.

This is because the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, has not issued a governor regulation (pergub) that ratifies the implementation of free school trials.

"We simultaneously (run the program and prepare the governor's regulation) at the same time. If we wait for the governor's regulation first, later (students registered for free schools) we can't go to school. Poor," Taga told reporters, Monday, July 14.

Currently, the issuance of the governor's regulation is still in progress. The DKI Provincial Government has also asked for the willingness of schools participating in free school trials to wait for the governor's regulation to be issued so that the budget can be distributed.

"That's why we had a meeting with private schools yesterday, 'how about ladies and gentlemen, the governor's regulation doesn't exist yet, but God willing, we will continue to progress', that's it. They, thank God, out of 40 schools, all agreed," explained Taga.

Thus, the classes or study groups that are included in the free school trials run using funds from the school and students who have previously paid tuition fees.

Later, those who have made independent payments will receive refunds.

"What if the one that has been recorded? A statement will be made using a stampai that will be returned if the money is disbursed," he explained.

It is noted that as many as 4,932 students from 40 private schools in Jakarta have received a reduction in education costs. As an initial stage, the free education program that has been piloted this year has not yet targeted all students.

Of the total 14,905 students in the 436 study groups in the 40 schools, the DKI Provincial Government has only financed free schools on 4,932 students from 142 study groups who are early classes.
