Indonesia Program Indonesia Pintar expansion

Overview

A study of the Program Indonesia Pintar (PIP) in Bener Meriah Regency highlighted several implementation challenges. While the policy is designed to assist students from low-income or vulnerable families, researchers identified issues regarding recipient targeting, data verification, disbursement obstacles, and insufficient oversight of fund utilization.

In response to evolving educational needs, the Indonesian government introduced new regulations for 2026 under Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Regulation Number 11. This expansion aligns with a 13-year compulsory education policy by including preschool and kindergarten students, shifting the eligible age range from 6–21 years to 5–21 years. The government aims to support approximately 19.48 million underprivileged students. Under this new mechanism, schools will hold greater authority in the proposal process, utilizing the Dapodik system for data validation and the SIPINTAR application for verifying eligible candidates.
