He explained that Jakarta provincial administration was eyeing to enhance the quality of education in all schools, instead of PPDB system. The quality improvement of education in the capital could be started by improving the quality of all schools. Thus parents would be assured of their children’s education regardless of their school.
“The most important thing for me is that school quality must be developed, whatever the enrollment system applied,” Anies Baswedan noted.
The 2019 PPDB via the online school zoning system for senior high (SMA) in Jakarta Province has been started on Monday, June 24, 2019, at 08:00 WIB, and will end on Wednesday, June 26, at 14:00 WIB.
