        "summary": "During a corruption trial hearing at Jakarta's Tipikor Court, former Education Minister Nadiem Makarim questioned former head of the Ministry of Education's data and IT centre Muhammad Hasan Chabibie about the continued active use of 85 per cent of Chromebook laptops distributed to schools as of 2025, despite the procurement occurring four to five years earlier. The questioning centred on device management capabilities and content control mechanisms needed to monitor and restrict access to inappropriate websites on the devices distributed across regional governments.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 Nadiem Makarim questioned former head of the Centre for\nData and Information Technology (Pusdatin) of the Ministry of Education\nand Culture, Muhammad Hasan Chabibie, regarding the fact that\napproximately 85 per cent of Chromebook-based laptops remain actively\nused in schools until last year.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan, who served as a witness, was interrogated by the former\nEducation Minister during a continuation of the hearing for an alleged\ncorruption case involving the procurement of Chromebook-based\nlaptops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to ask, do you know how many of the total Chromebooks were\nstill active in 2025? Do you know that figure?\u201d Nadiem asked during the\nhearing at Jakarta\u2019s Tipikor Court on Monday, 2 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Hasan claimed he did not know because he no longer works\nat Pusdatin.<\/p>\n<p>Nadiem\u2019s team then presented data obtained from the ministry\u2019s\ndashboard, which had previously been explained by Hasan when questioned\nby the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office (JPU).<\/p>\n<p>Nadiem read out the data showing that approximately 85 per cent of\nChromebooks remained active despite the procurement having occurred long\nago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the last login data from the total cumulative figure, and\nthis is from a total of 1.4 million that are active, 85 per cent of\nChromebooks in 2025 are still active, 85 per cent. Despite the fact that\nconsiderable time has passed, many are already four or five years old,\u201d\nNadiem stated.<\/p>\n<p>Nadiem then questioned the ministry\u2019s need for a device management\nsystem to control devices down to regional level. \u201cIf we talk about\ndevice manager, one of our problems in the IT world is that we have\ndifficulty controlling the use of devices in those areas,\u201d Hasan\nresponded.<\/p>\n<p>CDM (Chromebook Device Management) is a tool that can block and\nrestrict access to certain websites on devices, in this case laptops, in\naccordance with desired settings.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan confirmed that CDM is important for controlling certain content\ndeemed harmful to students, such as pornography and online gambling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it important to prevent negative content such as pornography?\u201d\nasked Nadiem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, in that case I agree,\u201d Hasan replied.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, with CDM in place, the central government could retrieve\nvarious data from regional administrations.<\/p>",
