LAMPUNG - The Department of Education and Culture (Disdikbud) of Metro City, Lampung, has warned of illegal levies (pungli) in the process of accepting new students (PPDB). He emphasized that the PPDB organizing committee avoided it.
"All PPDB organizing committees have been asked not to commit fraud, including extortion. We are an education city, so we must set a good example," said Head of the Metro Education and Culture Office, Suwandi, in Metro, Lampung, Wednesday 29 June.
He said his party would give strict sanctions to the PPDB committee who were proven to have practiced fraud or extortion.
"Of course we will give sanctions according to the applicable rules, this is a form of our firm action if the PPDB committee is found committing extortion," he said, according to Antara.
He explained that currently the PPDB stage for kindergartens (TK) and elementary schools (SD) in Metro City has been completed smoothly and runs transparently.
"We are grateful that no obstacles were found and indeed the PPDB process is carried out transparently. After this, we will determine the next stage for the new school year," he said.
He continued, for the implementation of PPDB at the junior high school level (SMP) it has started to open today, June 29 to July 7 next.
"Hopefully later during the SMP PPDB process there will also be no obstacles. We will try to make everything run transparently and will continue to be monitored," he said.
