Choosing new high school/vocational school students in Banten offers a free choice in private school

Jakarta -Banten Governor Andra Soni said he would include a free private school selection in the new student admission selection system (SPMB) at the high school/professional/SKH level. For students who are not accepted in public schools, they can be deduced directly to free private schools. “The system we will prepare later, where there is a choice of private schools. The choice of private schools refers to schools that worked with the Banten provincial government,” Andra said during the Banten Provincial Government State Building, Serang City, Monday (5/19/2025). “There is an option, if they are not accepted at public schools, they go directly to the adjacent private school,” he continued. Browse to continue with the content that Andra emphasizes, the purpose of a free private school program is that children from underprivileged families do not fall out of school. He said the dropout rate in Banten was still quite high. “Our dropout rate is quite high because the government was only able to free public schools at the time. It caused a community mindset to be the only choice, so that everyone competes to enter public schools, and eventually there were those who were not housed,” he said. Andra wants this free private school program to really affect the community. He hopes that inequality between the North and Southern Banten regions can be overcome by the program. “And one of the solutions we lie ahead is free schools. Hopefully this program has a positive impact, especially for people of the lower economic group. Because of its essence, these government programs aim to overcome the problem of inequality or inequality,” he said.
