        "summary": "The West Java Provincial Education Office has begun socialising the Jabar Sakola Programme, a successor to the province's previous scholarship scheme, aimed at widening access to education and reducing dropout rates. The programme is structured around four aid schemes for senior high, vocational and special needs school students, with data cross-checked against the national DTKS database to avoid overlap with central government aid such as PIP and PKH. Its effectiveness will depend on the rigour of field verification by the regional branch offices.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The West Java Provincial Education Office (Disdik\nJabar) is socialising its latest education initiative, the Jabar Sakola\nProgramme (PJS). The programme is designed to widen access to education\nand reduce the number of children dropping out of school across West\nJava through a comprehensive set of educational assistance schemes.<\/p>\n<p>The socialisation event was held at the Dewi Sartika Hall of the\nDisdik Jabar office in Bandung on Thursday (1\/10\/2026). It was attended\nby all divisions within Disdik Jabar and representatives from the 13\nRegional Education Branch Offices (KCD).<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Ibrahim, Head of the UPTD Tikomdik at Disdik Jabar, said the\nJabar Sakola Programme is a transformation of the previous education\nscholarship programme. To ensure the aid reaches its intended\nrecipients, Disdik Jabar has precisely matched beneficiary data with the\nIntegrated Social Welfare Database (DTKS) to prevent duplication with\ncentral government assistance such as PIP and PKH.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that through this opportunity, everyone can understand and\nimplement the Governor\u2019s policy programme as well as possible, so that\neducational assistance is truly felt by students who need it,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>In line with this, Ai Nurhasan, Head of the PSMA Division at Disdik\nJabar, underlined the commitment to ensuring the programme targets the\nright people. He instructed all staff across the 13 KCDs to carry out\nthorough factual verification in the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColleagues in the branch offices will go out and verify the data\ndirectly. This is to ensure the aid is distributed correctly to the\npeople of West Java who genuinely deserve it,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of the Jabar Sakola Programme is divided into four\nmain aid schemes for students currently attending senior high (SMA),\nvocational high (SMK) and special needs (SLB) schools. The four schemes\nare:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>PJS Personal<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Financial assistance for students from vulnerable households (Decile\n1) who do not receive PKH or PIP. The aid is aimed at meeting students\u2019\npersonal needs and preventing the risk of dropping out, such as for the\npurchase of uniforms, books and daily transport costs.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li>PJS Operational<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Annual relief on school fee (SPP) payments for Year 11 and 12\nstudents at private schools who fall into vulnerable categories (Decile\n1 and 2). Notably, for private SLB schools, all students will receive\nthis assistance regardless of their economic decile.<\/p>",
