TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of Jakarta Education Service Lasro Marbun said that his party did not receive any report about the presence of vacant seats in the Admission of New Students (PPDB) in Jakarta. According to Lasro, Jakarta is experiencing an overload in the admission.
“Junior High and Senior High levels had all been filled,” Lastro told reporters Tuesday, July 22, 2014. The demand of school seats in Jakarta are very high. “So it’s prone to run out of seats.”
A similar statement is also conveyed by the Secretary General of the Indonesian Teachers Union Federation, Retno Lisyarti. She said that new students in Jakarta schools are over capacity. “Because schools are free in Jakarta. So lots of people would want to go there,” she said.
Schools in Jakarta received operational education support simultaneously with an operational school support, so students could go for free.
