JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Education Office has reopened the Joint New Student Admissions (PPDB) for the 2024/2025 school year with private schools for thousands of quotas for prospective new students (CPDB). Last year, PPDB Bersama was provided only at private high school-vocational schools. This year, the DKI Provincial Government added a private junior high school quota. The technical instructions are contained in the Decree of the Head of the DKI Education Office Number 94 of 2024. PPDB Bersama is held to increase access to education through the involvement of private education units. In PPDB together, CPDB that is not accommodated in public schools can still go to school for free in private schools. "For private schools, they can immediately register at the school. However, this Joint PPDB is only intended for those (CPDB) who can't afford it. (School fees) are free," said Acting Head of DKI Jakarta Education Office Budi Awaluddin at the DKI Disdik office, South Jakarta, Monday, May 20. This year, the implementation of PPDB Bersama with a total quota of 8,426 students involved 121 private high schools with a capacity of 2,671 students. Then, as many as 147 private vocational schools with a capacity of 4,024 students and 138 private junior high schools with a capacity of 1,731 students. Therefore, Budi hopes that the Joint PPDB can facilitate education for underprivileged students due to limited public school quotas. Bearing in mind, in the Disdik listing, the capacity of public junior high schools this year is only 47.03 percent of the CPDB number prediction, and the country's SMA/SMK capacity is only 33.53 percent. "Because the capacity is limited, we have PPDB together. This joint PPDB accommodates sides that cannot be accommodated at public high schools," explained Budi.

The general requirements for PPDB together with SMP, SMA, and private vocational schools are: a. CPDB that meets the requirements: 1) KJP Plus Phase II recipients in 2023; 2) The child of a Transjakarta partner driver who drives a small bus, the name of his parents is registered in the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Transportation Agency; 3) children of workers/labor recipients of Jakarta Worker Cards, the names of their parents are listed in the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Province Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Office; or 4) recipients of the Indonesia Smart Program. 5) CPDB requirements as referred to in numbers 1), 2), 3), and 4) are registered in the Integrated Social Welfare Data. b. have a diploma / certificate of graduating from SD / MI / Paket A for junior high school, diploma / SKL from SMP / MTs / Paket B for SMA / SMK. c. at most 15 years old on July 1, 2024 for SMP, 21 years old for SMA/SMK. Meanwhile, the financing facilitated by the DKI Provincial Government for students in PPDB together, namely: 1.
