School rehabilitation programs underway in Sleman and Gunungkidul

In Sleman, the Education Office (Disdik) is rehabilitating 15 public junior high schools (SMP) with a total budget of Rp2.2675 billion. The repairs, funded through both the pure regional budget and budget changes, primarily target roof damage and wood rot caused by termites in aging buildings. As of October 2026, seven schools from the initial budget phase have completed repairs, with two more expected to finish soon, while six additional schools were added through the budget change phase.

In Gunungkidul, the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) Commission D is monitoring the revitalization of 131 schools. Following inspections of SDN Purwodadi, SMP Negeri 3 Tepus, and SMP PGRI Semanu—all recipients of central government aid—officials reported that construction materials and progress appeared to meet specifications. Despite finding the work to be normal, the DPRD urged school administrators to maintain strict budget management and adhere to planning to ensure accountability for public funds.
