Jakarta's online student admissions go live with Metranet's integrated system
Jakarta (ANTARA) - A total of 2,179 educational units in the Province of DKI Jakarta are utilising SCALA by Metranet as a digital solution provider to implement online student admission (SPMB) systems. The platform is designed to support educational institutions in managing the end-to-end new student admission process.
Metranet Business Director, Faisal Yusuf, stated that digital transformation in the education sector must be supported by solutions that not only simplify administrative processes but also improve overall service quality.
“The use of technology in the new student admission process is no longer an additional necessity, but rather an essential foundation for providing services that are more transparent, accountable, and efficient,” said Faisal Yusuf in a statement in Jakarta on Sunday.
According to him, 2,1cap79 educational units, comprising primary (SD), junior high (SMP), senior high (SMA), and vocational high schools (SMK) in the Province of DKI Jakarta, have adopted the system.
Faisal noted that the success of digitising educational services is determined not only by technology but also by the system’s ability to support operational needs in the field.
Consequently, the company also provides implementation assistance supported by 24/7 technical support to ensure the admission process runs optimally according to the specific needs of each region or educational institution.
Through this integrated approach, the designed online SPMB system is capable of minimising operational obstacles, accelerating data management processes, and increasing information transparency for prospective students and parents.
“The presence of a more structured system can also strengthen public trust in the ongoing selection process,” he added.
He further noted that since 2024, the Online SPMB solution from SCALA by Metranet has been implemented in 147 educational institutions, covering over 5,000 schools across 15 provinces and 30 regencies/cities in Indonesia.
