        "summary": "Jakarta's Commission E secretary has urged the provincial government to ensure that a proposed Jakarta version of the Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP) scholarship programme does not interfere with existing education social assistance budgets. The Jakarta government plans to launch its own LPDP programme in 2027, but officials have cautioned that it must complement rather than cut funding for established programmes such as the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP Plus) and Jakarta Outstanding Student Card (KJMU).",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The secretary of Commission E of the Jakarta Provincial\nParliament (DPRD DKI Jakarta), Justin Adrian Untayana, has urged the\nJakarta Provincial Government to ensure that its proposed Education Fund\nManagement Institute (LPDP) scholarship programme does not disrupt other\nsocial assistance budgets, particularly within the same sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jakarta Provincial Government must ensure that its budget is\navailable and will not disrupt the distribution of other social\nassistance,\u201d said Justin in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Jakarta Provincial Government currently\nprovides education-focused social assistance to students and\nundergraduates in Jakarta through two programmes: the Jakarta Smart Card\n(KJP Plus) and the Jakarta Outstanding Student Card (KJMU).<\/p>\n<p>Both programmes, Justin noted, have helped communities, particularly\nthose with limited means, to access free education.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, Justin expressed hope that the proposed Jakarta LPDP\nprogramme, set to launch in 2027, will not interfere with existing\ninitiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Justin added that he supports the establishment of a Jakarta LPDP\nprogramme, provided it does not reduce funding or budgets for\neducation-focused social assistance programmes already running\neffectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe key point is that the LPDP programme from the Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment should not cut into these existing social assistance\nprogrammes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo announced that the\nJakarta Provincial Government\u2019s version of the LPDP scholarship\nprogramme is targeted to begin operations in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things I really want to launch is having a Jakarta LPDP.\nIs it possible? I am confident it is,\u201d said Pramono during a gathering\nand iftar meal with officials from the Jakarta Provincial Education\nOffice and school principals at the Jakarta Provincial Education Office\nheadquarters on Thursday, 26 February.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree days ago, I was accompanied by Nahdiana (Head of the Jakarta\nProvincial Education Office) when I received the director or the\nhighest-ranking official at LPDP, Dwi Larso. We have already begun more\ndetailed discussions,\u201d Pramono added.<\/p>",
