        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) is\nsharing best practices for the implementation of the New Student\nAdmission System (SPMB) at the early childhood education (PAUD) level as\npart of efforts to support the 13-year compulsory education programme,\nor one year of compulsory preschool.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu\u2019ti stated that\nearly childhood is the foundation for a child\u2019s development in\nsubsequent educational stages. \u201cAlmost all educational theories state\nthat the first seven years of life are the most decisive. Early\nchildhood education is the foundation for the entire subsequent\neducational process,\u201d he said in a written statement in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government has therefore included PAUD in the\n13-Year Compulsory Education Programme, while also expanding support\nthrough the Indonesia Pintar (PIP) scholarship programme for\nkindergarten students from target families and improving the competence\nof PAUD teachers.<\/p>\n<p>This spirit has been applied in the implementation of SPMB at TK\n\u2019Aisyiyah Terpadu Birrul Walidain in Kudus Regency, Central Java. The\nschool principal, Ami, said that all registration information is\nconveyed openly, while also serving as a space to build partnerships\nwith parents. \u201cWe want to ensure that every parent understands the\nschool\u2019s vision, curriculum, and the collaborative patterns that will be\nbuilt from the start. Kindergarten is not a place for children to race\nto learn to read quickly, but a place to build the foundation of morals,\ncharacter, and learning readiness,\u201d said Ami.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, parent Eni Uswati experienced this process when\nregistering her youngest daughter through SPMB. She said the process was\nsimple and provided an opportunity for the school to get to know\nprospective students from the beginning. \u201cThe requirements were just a\nbirth certificate, family card, and a passport photo. After\nverification, we attended an orientation with the child. The children\nwere given an initial assessment so the teachers could get to know their\ncharacter from the start,\u201d said Eni.<\/p>",
