JAKARTA - Head of the Educational Personal and Operational Funding Service Center (P4OP) of the DKI Jakarta Education Office (Disdik) Waluyo Hadi said the number of recipients of the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) phase I in 2024 decreased from before.

Waluyo revealed a number of reasons. One of them is a number of prospective recipient students who did not re-registered.

The DKI Provincial Government previously opened a re-registration to existing KJMU recipients in phase II in 2023 for distribution in the next stage due to data updating.

"When it was rescheduled with their respective accounts, it turned out that 1,221 were not re-registered. Automatically, they did not submit an application. It means that this student stage I (2024) could not," Waluyo told reporters, Wednesday, June 26.

In addition, Disdik DKI has determined that 2,196 students are no longer eligible to be KJMU recipients.

Some of the reasons are the achievement index (IP) below the standard, declared to have graduated from college, studied more than 10 semesters, until it was no longer included in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) so that it was removed from the list of underprivileged students.

"From the results of field verification by the joint team, there were 2,196 who were declared unfit to receive KJMU phase I 2024. Yesterday, those that still got stage II 2023, which we are disbursing now cannot be continued because they do not meet the requirements," explained Waluyo.

In addition, in the process of extending KJMU phase I in 2024, Disdik noted that there were 1,037 new prospective recipients. However, only 961 students were declared eligible.

"So, what will be determined in the governor's decision regarding the candidate for KJMU phase I 2024 will amount to 15,649," he said.

Meanwhile, in the distribution of phase II in 2023, there were 19,042 Jakarta students who received KJMU spread across 124 universities in 67 regencies/cities.

Disdik DKI promised to distribute KJMU phase I 2024 on Wednesday, June 26 today. KJMU is distributed twice a year with a value of IDR 1.5 million per month or IDR 9 million per semester.
