Parents upset, disappointed with online school registration

(Source: The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Headlines | Sat, July 05 2014, 9:25 AM)

Hundreds of parents thronged the Jakarta Education Agency’s

ffice in Kuningan, South Jakarta, to report problems with the

online

school registration system

on Friday.

ring their visit to the agency’s office, the parents expressed

their

dissatisfaction

with the online system, which according to them

was disorganized and made it difficult for them to register their

children for enrollment in public schools.

Bahasa Inggris

Riki Setyanto, one of the parents, said that he had registered

is daughter for enrollment at state vocational high school SMKN

47 Jakarta but she then got rejected due to the minimum height

policy applied by the state-run school.

wever, he added, his daughter was also turned down

after

she registered at a different school because her name was still listed

for SMKN 47 Jakarta.

“F

irst my daughter was rejected because of her height, and

now due to technical issues, she can’t register at any school. I just

want to get her into a good school,” he said, adding that he hoped

the agency could solve the problems as soon as possible.

raisyah Paransa, another parent, also said that she was

unable to registe

r her son at any state-run high school due to similar

technical problems.

e said that her son was initially accepted at a public East

Jakarta school through the public admission phase. However, he did

not re-register with that school as he wanted to shoot for a better

state-run school through the local admission phase.

“B

ut the second school rejected him because it said that he

had been accepted through the public admission phase. Since my

son did not re-register at the first school, now he isn’t registered

anywhere,” she said.

e online registration system has been applied in the

capital since 2004. No such problems occurred with the previous

registration system.

is year’s student admission system has three phases:

public admission, where students vie for seats with other students

throughout the country; local admission, where students compete

with others in the same province; and third admission, where

students who did not get accepted during first and second admission

resubmit their applications.

182

Kelas XII SMA/MA/SMK/MAK

Lasro Marbun, head of the Jakarta Education Agency, said

hat anyone who did not re-register in the public admission phase

and was unable to register during local admission or third admission,

could register their children at private schools.

“They can then transfer them to a public school in the second

semester,” he said on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.

wever, Rida Afrida, who wanted to register her son at state

junior high school SMP 194, did not agree with that idea. According

to her, a lot of people have chosen public schools over private

schools for

financial reasons.

“I c

annot pay for a private school, if he thinks that is a good

alternative for us, he should just give us the money to pay for those

schools,” she said.

Mean

while, acting Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja

Purnama said that the

parents should be patient and not panic.

“W

e had no problems last year. The process might be a little

complicated but there’s no reason to panic,” Ahok told reporters at

City Hall.
