West Java Governor Urges Residents to Report Fraud in Student Admissions

Bandung (ANTARA) - The Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, has requested that citizens participate in supervising the implementation of the 2026 Student Admission System (SPMB) and report any instances of fraud discovered during the new student admission process.

He emphasised the importance of citizens providing evidence and data in reports regarding alleged violations of student admission regulations, so that local governments and law enforcement agencies can conduct immediate investigations.

“Where? Specify it. Do not just spread rumours, please specify. If there is anyone involved in buying and selling seats, name them—which teacher, which official, name them. Just report it. Let it undergo the legal process,” he stated at the West Java Provincial Education Office in Bandung on Tuesday.

Dedi conveyed that active community participation in oversight is required to ensure the implementation of new student admissions is objective, fair, and transparent.

The West Java Provincial Government will take action against those who violate the regulations regarding new student admissions.

Dedi stated that the 2026 SPMB has been designed to minimise the possibility of fraud occurring during the student admission process.

Responding to allegations of fraudulent practices in public school admissions, he said that the government is striving to ensure that the SPMB is conducted objectively and transparently.

“It is clear; even the children of officials often fail to pass,” he added.
