        "content": "<p>The Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP) is currently\nevaluating its supervision system and alumni contribution criteria\nfollowing the viral case of scholarship recipient DS. One option under\nconsideration is displaying the names of alumni who fail to comply with\ntheir mandatory service obligations on the LPDP\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p>LPDP Chief Executive Officer Sudarto stated that this measure would\nform part of comprehensive reform efforts. \u201cAttention to alumni\ncolleagues, we are considering and deliberating posting the names of\ncolleagues who do not comply on the LPDP website,\u201d said Sudarto, quoted\non Friday (27 February 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Sudarto emphasised that LPDP scholarship funds originate from public\ntaxation, necessitating stricter oversight. \u201cThe funds come from public\ntaxes, so it is only fair. We are currently considering this,\u201d he\naffirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Based on data as of 31 January 2026, 36 alumni are suspected of\nviolations and remain under investigation. Eight individuals have been\nconfirmed to have failed to fulfil their mandatory service obligations\nin Indonesia and have been ordered to repay their scholarship funds.<\/p>\n<p>To date, LPDP scholarship recipients are required to return and\ncontribute to Indonesia under a 2N+1 contribution scheme. Beginning in\n2026, this scheme will be revised to 2N. Should alumni fail to meet\ntheir obligations, sanctions include repayment of scholarship funds\nand\/or suspension of access to future LPDP programmes.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond considering name publication sanctions, LPDP is also\nundertaking improvements to its alumni tracking system and contribution\ncriteria. Sudarto described this moment as an internal evaluation of the\ninstitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current situation represents an opportunity for us to improve\nour alumni tracking system. We have identified certain weaknesses that\nwe will continue to address,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
