Saifullah Yusuf emphasizes Dapodik data accuracy for Sekolah Rakyat

Indonesian Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf, also known as Gus Ipul, has emphasized the strategic importance of data accuracy for Sekolah Rakyat operators. Speaking at a training session for the 2026 Basic Education Data System (Dapodik) in Bekasi, West Java, Yusuf stated that accurate data serves as the foundation for decision-making, monitoring, and student assistance.

Yusuf highlighted four critical data areas for operators: student identity and status, school human resources (including teachers and staff), school facilities and infrastructure, and learning group updates. He noted that valid data is essential for conducting proper student assessments and ensuring that educational services are tailored to individual needs. The training session was attended by 157 operators from various Sekolah Rakyat institutions.
