SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo asked all schools under the authority of the Central Java Provincial Government not to require the purchase of uniforms for students, especially if their parents cannot afford it.
"I don't require it, so if it's parents who are sorry, I'm sorry, parents who can't afford their children don't need uniforms now. It's just like before, it's not uniform, it's okay, it doesn't have any effect," he said while checking the implementation face-to-face learning (PTM) in Semarang City quoted from Antara, Tuesday, August 31.
Ganjar admitted that he received a report regarding uniform obligations from one of the parents of SMK students in Central Java
"Schools don't have to force them, yesterday someone reported the incident to me at which SMK I forgot. That the teacher has required the uniform, it's a lot, it's a pity," he said.
Ganjar understands that in situations like this, not all parents can afford to buy school uniforms for their children.
Therefore, Ganjar appealed to all SMA/SMK under the authority of the Central Java Provincial Government not to require the purchase of uniforms.
"Once again, I remind you, (schools) which are under the authority of the provincial government not to impose on those whose parents cannot afford it, especially regarding uniforms," said Ganjar.
If there are parents who cannot afford it, Ganjar hopes that the concerned will report to the Central Java Provincial Government so that they can be helped.
"But if you haven't, you can't force it, even those who can't afford to say it later will be helped by the provincial government," he said.
