JAKARTA - The Education Office (Disdik) has tightened the acceptance of new students (PPDB) in 2024. The Head of the Jakarta Education Office, Budi Awaluddin, emphasized that prospective new students (CPDB) could no longer ride family cards (KK) to pass the 2024 PPDB.

"People who take family cards can no longer register in DKI Jakarta. So, those who ride KK or other family members can no longer register in DKI Jakarta," said Budi Awaluddin during a press conference at the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Setiabudi, South Jakarta, Monday 20 May.

However, Budi explained that there are exceptions for students who can still register even though they are on a family plan, provided that they have to be proven through an official certificate.

"Unless later, for example, parents both died, both of them continued to be taken care of by their grandfather or grandmother, later there will be a separate letter and they can bring it to us," he said.

Budi also emphasized that the CPDB that can participate in the 2024 Jakarta PPDB process must be a resident of Jakarta and also domiciled in Jakarta. This requirement must be proven by the KK which has been registered since the previous year, precisely since June 10, 2023. The KK will go through a verification process by officers.

In his statement, Budi explained that his party could still pass the CPDB who moved families if they had certain reasons, for example they no longer had parents. CPDB also has to prove population with KK and parents' ID cards domiciled in Jakarta.

"So those who do not live in Jakarta, apologize, yes, even though they have an ID card (parents) in Jakarta, they cannot register," said Budi.

He added that if it was not a resident and didmiciled in Jakarta, it would be detected in the application when submitting an account.

The Provincial Government of Jakarta through the Education Office officially opened an account registration for admission of new students (PPDB) starting today, Monday. Budi Awaluddin said that new student admissions were carried out from elementary to high school levels online.

"The implementation of PPBD from June 10 to July 4, 2024, but the implementation of account registration has started today," he explained.
