SMK IDN Licensing Issues Draw Attention, Teaching and Learning Activities Must Remain Secure
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG – Commission V of the West Java Provincial DPRD has assured that the process of resolving the licensing for SMK IDN Boarding School in Bogor Regency will not interfere with teaching and learning activities (KBM).
Deputy Chair of Commission V of the West Java DPRD, Siti Muntamah, stated that supervision will continue following the revocation of the school’s operational permit. She emphasised that students’ right to education must not be neglected amid administrative issues.
“There are two things that must proceed hand in hand: the resolution of the licensing and the continuity of KBM. Neither should sacrifice the other,” Siti said during a follow-up audience with the School Committee of SMK IDN Boarding School at the West Java DPRD Building on Thursday (9/4/2026).
The revocation of the operational permit for SMK IDN Boarding School Jonggol Branch was previously determined through the Governor of West Java’s Decree Number 188/-Kep.17-DPMPTSP/2026. This policy was taken due to issues with unfulfilled licensing documents.
The audience was also attended by representatives from Commission I of the West Java DPRD, the Education Office, the Provincial DPMPTSP of West Java, the Bogor Regency DPMPTSP, and the Legal Bureau. The meeting focused on accelerating the resolution of administrative matters while maintaining the stability of the learning process.
Siti emphasised that Commission V will intensify its oversight function, including conducting direct inspections at the school location. “We will go directly to ensure that learning activities continue in accordance with the provisions,” she said.
On the other hand, the Bogor Regency DPMPTSP expressed its commitment not to complicate the ongoing licensing process. This step is expected to accelerate legal certainty for the school party.
However, Commission V highlighted the fact that permit management has not been carried out for around the last four years. This condition is considered a serious note that must be immediately improved. “In the future, there must be a commitment so that similar issues do not recur,” Siti said.
Commission V also opens space for public aspirations, including from parents of students and legal representatives, to encourage comprehensive solutions. Cross-party coordination is deemed important so that the licensing process runs smoothly without sacrificing the participants’ education.
In the near future, Commission V plans to conduct a field visit to ensure the learning conditions as well as compliance with licensing provisions.
The West Java DPRD hopes that the administrative resolution can be completed soon so that legal certainty is fulfilled and students’ right to education remains protected.
