Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Budi Awaluddin, said that the Jakarta Unggul Student Card (KJMU) phase I in 2024 will be disbursed on Thursday, June 27 tomorrow. Thus, KJMU canceled its disbursement today as previously promised. "KJMU will certainly be disbursed and distributed to recipients no later than Thursday, June 27," Budi told reporters, Wednesday, June 26. Budi did not explain the reason why the disbursement of KJMU was delayed. He only emphasized that the distribution of KJMU by the DKI Provincial Government was carried out very selectively. "We promise that tomorrow it will be disbursed," said Budi. KJMU recipients will receive assistance of Rp. 9,000,000 per semester. The DKI Provincial Government has determined that the KJMU phase I 2024 will be distributed to 15,649 Jakarta students who receive assistance. Meanwhile, in phase II of 2023, KJMU will be distributed to 19,042 students. Head of the DKI Jakarta Educational Educational Personal and Operational Funding Service Center (P4OP) Waluyo Hadi explained the reason why the number of KJMU recipients phase I in 2024 decreased from before. One of them is a number of prospective recipient students who did not re-registered. The DKI Provincial Government previously reopened existing KJMU recipients in phase II in 2023 for distribution at the next stage due to data matching. "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. That means, this student stage I (2024) could not," said Waluyo. 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 followed up 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.
