TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A Youtube video uploaded by the Jakarta administration’s account on Sunday saw Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan presenting the city’s plan to fund students entering private schools.

The governor argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the costs of living in the capital city, which also includes the costs of education.

“It is a bigger burden to be living nowadays in Jakarta, not just because of the rising costs, but also because of the dropping income,” said Anies Baswedan on Sunday evening of July 19. He maintains that the surging costs of living must not, in any way, stop students from being able to go to school.

“Education is costly. But it would be even costlier if [people are left] uneducated. It would cost the government more if someone does not go to school,” said the governor.
