JAKARTA - The government, through the Ministry of Education and Culture, has gradually distributed internet quota assistance to teachers and students. It's just that the distribution of internet quota subsidies is not evenly distributed.

Not a few netizens receive subsidized internet quota, even though they have graduated from college. Meanwhile, other citizens have not received the quota subsidy from the Ministry of Education and Culture.

But keep in mind, internet quota subsidies cannot be used carelessly other than supporting Distance Learning (PJJ). The amount of internet quota received also varies for each level of education.

For PAUD students will receive 20GB per month. 35GB quota for SD-SMA students and 42GB for PAUD-SMA teachers. Meanwhile, for students and lecturers, the internet quota given is 50GB.

Each quota given consists of two types, namely the general quota and the study quota. For the student level, the general quota given is 5GB while the study quota is 45GB.

Referring to the Ministry of Education and Culture's website, the internet quota subsidy distributed consists of 5GB general quota and 45GB multimedia quota. The quota information does not mention the types of sites and applications that can be accessed.

Meanwhile, the multimedia quota or learning quota will be used when the user opens an application or site that has been determined by the government. Specifically for internet quota assistance for students, applications that use learning quotas include Bahaso, Google Classroom, Edmodo, Ruangguru, Zenius and WhatsApp instant messages.

In addition, the learning quota can also be used to open video conferencing applications, namely Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, U Meet Me and Cisco Webex. Some of the sites that can be accessed using the free study quota are the official website of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the campus and the Smart Class learning site.

Sites that are not included in the study quota can still be opened using the general quota, which is 5GB. The quota can be used to open various applications, including YouTube, social media such as Instagram and TikTok, as well as online shopping platforms such as Tokopedia and Zalora.
