South Tangerang Opens State Junior High School SPMB for Affirmative Action and Disability Pathways, 2,997 Seats Available
The South Tangerang City Government (Pemkot Tangsel) has opened Phase III of the New Student Admission System (SPMB) for state junior high schools (SMP Negeri) for the 2026/2027 Academic Year, starting Monday (06/07/2026). This is the final stage for prospective students applying through the Affirmative Action and Disability pathways. Participants may also select a Partner Private Junior High School (SMP Swasta Pendamping) as an alternative if they are not accommodated in a state school.
Registration is open from today, 6 July 2026, until 8 July via the official website spmb.tangerangselatankota.go.id. The selection results will be announced on 9 July 2026, with re-registration on 10 July 2026.
Head of the South Tangerang Education and Culture Agency, Deden Deni, told reporters on Monday (6/7) in South Tangerang that his agency has prepared 2,997 seats specifically for the Affirmative Action pathway as a commitment to providing equitable access to education for the community.
He explained that Phase III of the SPMB is officially open for the Affirmative Action and Disability pathways. He urged all eligible parents and prospective students to make the most of this opportunity by registering according to the established schedule.
The Affirmative Action pathway is intended for prospective students from underprivileged families who are registered in central or regional government assistance programmes. Requirements include attaching a parental declaration as a recipient of the Family Hope Programme (PKH) and the Indonesia Smart Card (KIP).
Meanwhile, prospective students applying through the Disability pathway must possess a disability card or a certificate from a doctor or psychologist as proof in accordance with applicable regulations.
The South Tangerang Education and Culture Agency also provides the opportunity for prospective students to choose a Partner Private Junior High School, ensuring that participants who do not pass the selection for state schools still have access to education.
After completing the online registration, prospective students are required to download the registration receipt for verification by the committee at the destination school. The committee will then hold a plenary meeting to finalise the selection results before they are announced to the public.
To assist the public during the registration process, the Education and Culture Agency has opened an SPMB hotline at 0851-9628-0598 and a Complaint Post at the Agency’s office, located on the 1st Floor of Building C, Pemkot Tangsel Office Complex, Jalan Promoter Number 3, Lengkong Wetan, Serpong.
“If there are any difficulties during registration, we have prepared a hotline service and a complaint post so that the entire SPMB process runs smoothly, transparently, and no prospective student encounters technical obstacles,” Deden concluded.
