        "summary": "The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) is revising the proposal scheme for the Indonesia Pintar Programme (PIP) funds to prevent the return of over Rp600 billion to the state treasury due to technical, geographical, and administrative issues rather than violations. Deputy Minister Atip Latipulhayat proposed that schools submit proposals directly instead of through local education offices to ensure more accurate data on student needs. In collaboration with the Attorney General's Office, the new Jaga Indonesia Pintar platform allows direct reporting of fund misuse, enhancing oversight and protecting whistleblowers from illegal levies in schools.",
        "content": "<p>Bandung (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education\n(Kemendikdasmen) is changing the proposal scheme for the Indonesia\nPintar Programme (PIP) funds to ensure optimal absorption.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister of Education Atip Latipulhayat in Bandung, West Java,\non Wednesday, stated that based on the data obtained, funds worth more\nthan Rp600 billion were returned to the state treasury due to technical\nand geographical constraints in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Atip emphasised that the return of funds due to these technical\nreasons was mostly not caused by violations, but rather by recipients\u2019\nlack of knowledge and inefficient bureaucratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, around Rp600 billion was returned. This return was mainly caused\nby reasons that are actually not violations, but due to lack of\nknowledge, lack of clarity, and geographical reasons. We will fix that,\u201d\nsaid Deputy Minister Atip at the launch of Jaga Indonesia Pintar with\nthe Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister Atip proposed that submissions be made directly by\nschools, not through the local government\u2019s Education Office (Disdik),\nso that the incoming data is more factual according to the students\u2019\nconditions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Attorney General\u2019s Office stated that the Jaga\nIndonesia Pintar platform serves as a direct supervision system for PIP\nrecipients to report any form of fund deductions or abuse of\nauthority.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Attorney General for Intelligence (Jamintel) Reda Manthovani\nemphasised that this system provides direct access for students and\nparents to report if the received PIP funds are not intact.<\/p>\n<p>If findings in the field are only administrative errors, he\ncontinued, the Attorney General\u2019s Office will hand over the data to\nKemendikdasmen for governance improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi believes this\ncollaboration will ensure the safety of reporters so that the public is\nnot afraid to reveal illegal levy practices in school environments.<\/p>",
