The inaccuracy of the database has the potential to cause the\ngovernment\u2019s affirmative policies to miss their targets, including the\ndistribution of education assistance for students from families\nclassified as underprivileged.<\/p>\n
Manokwari (ANTARA) - Chairman of Committee III of the Regional\nRepresentative Council (DPD) of the Republic of Indonesia, Filep\nWamafma, considers the accuracy of the National Single Social and\nEconomic Data (DTSEN) to be key in ensuring that the distribution of the\nIndonesia Pintar Programme (PIP) in West Papua Province is properly\ntargeted.<\/p>\n
Based on provisional data from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary\nEducation (Kemendikdasmen), PIP distribution in the West Papua region in\n2026 has reached 5,452 students with a value of approximately IDR 2.49\nbillion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe specifically highlight the DTSEN data collection process.\nUpdating and verification must be transparent, accurate, and\ncomprehensive because this data serves as the reference for PIP\ndistribution,\u201d said Filep in a statement received in Manokwari on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
According to him, the accuracy of PIP distribution does not depend\nsolely on the government budget, but is also related to data quality,\nvalidation of beneficiaries, the capacity of operators at each school,\naccount activation, and ease of access to banking services.<\/p>\n
The results of DTSEN need to be effectively integrated with\neducational institution data, such as the Basic Education Data\n(Dapodik), population identification numbers (NIK), national student\nidentification numbers (NISN), as well as data from every education unit\nin West Papua.<\/p>\n
\u201cData integration is important so that the process of identifying PIP\nrecipient students can be carried out quickly, accurately,\ntransparently, and accountably,\u201d said Filep.<\/p>\n
He explained that DTSEN is not merely an administrative database, but\nmust reflect real conditions, especially the level of geographical,\nsocial, and demographic difficulty of each region, which has different\ncharacteristics.<\/p>\n
The inaccuracy of the database has the potential to cause the\ngovernment\u2019s affirmative policies to miss their targets, including the\ndistribution of education assistance for students from families\nclassified as underprivileged.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also assess that not all schools have an adequate number of\noperators and technical capacity. This condition is also a factor\naffecting the quality of PIP distribution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Kemendikdasmen, the provincial government, district\ngovernments, education offices, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the\npopulation and civil registration office (Disdukcapil), and others\nshould strengthen coordination in managing DTSEN.<\/p>\n
The government is expected to develop a mapping that includes\nstudents according to the recipient criteria, recorded in DTSEN and\nDapodik, and listed in the award decree, in order to support maximum PIP\ndistribution.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet no child from a family that needs economic assistance go\nunrecorded as a PIP recipient,\u201d said Filep.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpd-ri-dtsen-accuracy-key-to-targeting-pip-in-west-papua-1787741763", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
