Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has responded to numerous public\ncomplaints about the implementation of the New Student Admission (PPDB)\nprocess. Pramono assessed that the main problem lies not in the\nselection mechanism, but in the limited capacity of state schools,\nparticularly those considered favourites.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirstly, regarding this new student admission, what has been carried\nout over time is actually nothing new,\u201d Pramono said at Jakarta City\nHall on Friday (26\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
Pramono acknowledged that not all prospective students and parents\ncan be satisfied with the selection results. According to him, this\nsituation occurs because the number of places in state schools,\nespecially favourite ones, is not proportional to the high number of\napplicants.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf not everyone is satisfied, we realise that. Why? Because of the\nlimited places in schools considered favourites that are contested. That\nis always the problem,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He explained that many prospective students ultimately fail to be\naccepted at their target schools even though they reside within the\nzoning area. They then have to attend other schools that still have\ncapacity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey cannot enter the expected school even though they are within\nthe zone, and eventually end up at another school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pramono added that more detailed explanations regarding the PPDB\nimplementation would be provided by the Jakarta Education Agency.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-anung-main-problem-of-ppdb-complaints-is-limited-capacity-not-selection-mechanism-1782453188", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
