"This is very important thus the community can really know what the policy of the local government is," he expressed.  

He disclosed that this year's PPDB was further refined with the issuance of Gubernatorial Regulation number 32/2021 on Technical Guidelines for PPDB. He assessed, there were several points or changes that were very supportive of and concerned about the needs of the community, especially residents whose children were going to school, such as no admission of new students from outside Jakarta and prioritized for those whose houses were close to the school

"It is set in the regulation already," he stated.

It was done in order to open a bigger, wider opportunity for Jakartans to be able to enter public schools that truly lead to justice.
