        "summary": "Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has excluded approximately 80 elite private schools nationwide from the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, citing that they no longer require state assistance. The move is part of efforts to ensure the programme's beneficiaries are accurately targeted and that state budget allocation remains effective. Boarding schools with their own nutrition programmes are also excluded from the scheme.",
        "content": "<p>The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has excluded elite private\nschools deemed no longer in need of assistance from the Free Nutritious\nMeals (MBG) programme.<\/p>\n<p>Sudaryono said the move is part of efforts to screen MBG\nbeneficiaries to ensure accurate targeting. According to him, whether a\nschool receives the MBG programme is directly linked to the\neffectiveness of state budget allocation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have now screened them. Several private schools, elite private\nschools, which I think do not need MBG, around 80 schools across\nIndonesia, particularly private schools, have been excluded from\nreceiving MBG,\u201d Sudaryono said at the Ministry of Finance headquarters\nin Jakarta on Friday (28\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The exclusion also applies to boarding schools that already have\ntheir own nutrition fulfilment programmes, so they are no longer\nincluded in the MBG scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncluding schools such as boarding schools, there are many of them,\nlike my former school SMA Taruna Nusantara, which does not receive MBG\nbecause it is already part of their own activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the list of schools excluded from the MBG programme can\nbe viewed directly on the Radar MBG website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is already running. You can check on Radar MBG. Just enter a\nschool, for example JIS or Cikal, or Taruna Nusantara, or Kemala\nBhayangkari, or Taruna Bhayangkara. In Radar MBG there will be a note\nstating that the school does not receive an MBG allocation,\u201d Sudaryono\nsaid.<\/p>",
