Garut (ANTARA) - Member of Commission V of the West Java DPRD\n(Regional People\u2019s Representative Council), Aten Munajat, has called on\nthe provincial and district\/city governments to ensure that scholarship\nprogrammes for higher education are transparent and easily accessible to\nall members of the public, particularly for underprivileged families and\nhigh-achieving students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is to ensure that information about\nscholarships is truly transparent and easily accessible to the public,\neven in remote areas,\u201d said Aten Munajat in Garut, Friday.<\/p>\n
He said that the higher education scholarship programmes for the\npeople of West Java should be supported and appreciated as a form of the\ngovernment\u2019s commitment to providing equal access to education,\nespecially for underprivileged families and high-achieving students.<\/p>\n
The scholarship programmes launched by the West Java Province, he\nsaid, include the Jabar Future Leaders Scholarship (JFLS), which is a\nstep towards encouraging the emergence of a superior and competitive\nyoung generation.<\/p>\n
He hopes that all educational scholarship programmes in West Java can\nbe widely socialised to all members of the community in various corners\nso that no one is left behind in terms of information, as everyone\ndeserves the opportunity to receive a scholarship.<\/p>\n
\u201cSocialisation must be more massive so that people from lower\nsocio-economic backgrounds are not left behind and have the same\nopportunity to receive educational assistance,\u201d said the DPRD member for\nthe Garut Regency electoral district.<\/p>\n
Aten also hopes that, in addition to prioritising certain groups, the\nregistration and verification processes should be made simpler and less\ncomplicated, making it easier for prospective scholarship\nrecipients.<\/p>\n
He also encourages the West Java provincial government, as well as\ndistrict\/city governments such as Garut Regency, which have educational\nscholarship programmes, to continue to increase the quota each year in\norder to build the region and develop superior human resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the future, the local government is also expected to increase the\nquota for scholarship recipients so that more children from West Java,\nincluding in Garut Regency, can benefit,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-legislator-calls-for-transparent-and-accessible-scholarship-programmes-1780589631", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
