DKI Provincial Government Fully Supports PP Tunas, Effective Today
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is prepared to fully support Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 on the Protection of Electronic System Governance in Child Protection (PP Tunas), which becomes effective on 28 March 2026. Special Staff to the Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta for Public Communications, Chico Hakim, stated that the Jakarta Government will follow up on the regulation through cross-departmental coordination, particularly involving the Communications, Informatics, and Statistics Agency (Diskominfotik) and the Education Agency. “Concrete steps being prepared include mass socialisation to parents, schools, RT/RW communities, and the public through official provincial channels, social media, and public forums,” Chico explained when contacted on Saturday. In addition, the DKI Provincial Government will coordinate with digital platforms to ensure compliance in the Jakarta region. Furthermore, family digital literacy will be strengthened so that online restrictions are balanced with more active parental guidance. For Jakarta schools, the DKI Provincial Government through the Education Agency has previously issued Circular Letter Number e-0001/SE/2026 on the Wise Use of Gadgets in Educational Units (from PAUD to SMA). “Teachers and school principals will receive additional instructions to limit gadget use during lesson hours (except for approved learning purposes), and to collect students’ gadgets in designated school areas,” said Chico. With the enactment of Ministry of Communication and Digital Regulation Number 9 of 2026 starting 28 March 2026, Chico stated that the DKI Education Agency (Disdik) will promptly adjust and strengthen those guidelines. “Disdik will issue follow-up guidelines or adjustment circulars in the near future to make school implementation more structured, aligned with national regulations, and still supportive of conducive learning processes while safeguarding students’ mental health,” Chico revealed.
