YOGYAKARTA - The Yogyakarta City Youth and Sports Education Office (Dispora) emphasized that it has prohibited schools from withdrawing any illegal levies (extortion) that do not comply with the rules. Every donation that comes in must be managed transparently. "In the city of Yogyakarta, especially for elementary and junior high schools, we always remind you not to withdraw any fees that are not in accordance with the rules," said Head of the Yogyakarta City Youth and Sports Education Office Budhi Asrori in Yogyakarta, Antara, Friday, September 23. Therefore, Budhi believes that no school in the city will carry out illegal levies for any reason. As for school donations, it is always decided together with the school committee according to the planned plan. "The use of donations must also be clear. In accordance with the plans that have been set. So far, there have been no complaints regarding this that has reached us. Hopefully, nothing will happen further," he said. According to him, school donations may still be made according to the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 75 of 2016. "Because the name is a donation, it is not binding or voluntary. This means that there are no provisions on the amount that must be given. Likewise, there are no payment time provisions," he said. He hopes that schools and committees will open the widest possible communication space with parents of students if they plan to withdraw school donations. "For example, when there is a competition activity outside the region. It is impossible for everything to be charged to the school. It takes cooperation between parents, teachers, and committees," he said. Assistance from parents of students to support the creation of advanced and quality education, continued Budhi, can be realized in various forms. "Not only in the form of money or material. After all, the support and attention of parents of students is very important for the advancement of education in schools," he said. If there is an educational contribution from parents or school committees, Budhi reminded schools as education providers to manage these funds well, so that the main goal of improving the quality of education can be achieved.
