President Jokowi urges schoolchildren not to waste the use of KIP in today's memory, January 8, 2017

JAKARTA Memories of today, eight years ago, January 8, 2017, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) called on schoolchildren to use the Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) visit so as not to waste. Its use is for educational purposes only.

KIP money can be spent on uniforms, books, etc. Jokowi does not want KIP money to be used to buy credit. Previously, Jokowi's government relied on KIP to help educate students from disadvantaged families. KIP was first launched in 2014.

Jokowi often uses magic card lessons in every campaign event. Various magic cards were his lessons during the DKI Jakarta Governor's campaign. He also fulfilled a campaign promise that was later known as the Smart Jakarta Card (KJP) for equitable access to education.

Jokowi tried to propose the same solution during his campaign as a candidate in the 2014 presidential election. He relied on KIP. He views KIP as a form of government education assistance program for disadvantaged children.

Jokowi sees KIP as his teaching aimed at opening wide access to education to children from disadvantaged families. This means that Jokowi is trying to cross boundaries and eliminate the idea that education is only available to the rich.

KIP was therefore launched in 2014. The launch was marked by various problems. This condition occurs because the KIP program has not matured properly. Many distributions of funds that are still not targeted. Those who are not entitled to receive KIP actually get it.

Not to mention that those who should be entitled to KIP have not received it. Physical form is unknown. There are also other issues related to changing their real name and their name in KIP is different. The problem in the form of KIP does not come with virtual accounts and also accumulates.

However, the distribution of KIP will gradually be improved. The power of attorney has begun to finalize many things so that students from disadvantaged families can access KIP benefits.

“It has to fall into the hands of the students at the school. That's not the case, not much. There is something like that. But yes, it's normal. It's also called 17.9 million children (KIP target per year), so something like this is normal.

“No, it's not big. We just need to make it effective, we can overcome it. We are accelerating the distribution of the KIP as per the President's instructions. Hopefully by the end of the year it will be over” , declared the Minister of Education. and Culture, Muhadjir Effendy cited by the COMPASS.com page, August 16, 2016.

The KIP problem is not felt only by the Ministry of Education and Culture. President Jokowi also followed the developments of the KIP. He received reports that KIP funds were not being used properly. Instead of being used by KIP to purchase study materials, the funds are actually used for other purposes.

Jokowi found that the KIP case example was actually used to buy credit. In fact, KIP funds were immediately withdrawn entirely. This condition prompted Jokowi to speak out on January 8, 2017. Jokowi called on students to use KIP to purchase school needs and the rest to save.

Jokowi wants KIP beneficiaries not to waste. Jokowi also does not want KIP money to be used to buy credit or other necessities outside of school. Government sanctions will concern KIP.

“I really use it for school related purposes, buy books, buy shoes, buy uniforms, buy bags. Don't use it to buy credit. Take IDR 25,000 first, n 'isn't it. Later in the second month, 50,000 IDR, later, the end of the year is over,' message from President Jokowi quoted on the website of the. Secretary of State, January 8, 2017.
