MEMANGGIL.CO - The issue of out-of-school children (OOSC) in Blora Regency has not escaped the attention of the local government. As a solution, the Blora Education Office launched the Blora Smart Card Program (KBP) in 2024.
So, what is its purpose? What challenges does the Education Office face in this program?
The Goals of the Blora Smart Card Program.According to Sunaryo, Head of the Blora Education Office, the Blora Smart Card Program aims to provide educational support to disadvantaged students who have not benefited from central government programs.
"Furthermore, he explained that the Blora Smart Card Program (KBP) is intended for children who require educational assistance but are not yet registered in programs such as PKH (Family Hope Program) or PIP (Indonesia Smart Card).
"This program will provide opportunities for those who have not yet received assistance from the central government,' said Sunaryo, as quoted on Saturday, February 22, 2025."
Challenges of the Blora Smart Card.Despite these efforts, challenges are unavoidable. Sunaryo explained that one of the obstacles is the presence of potential recipients who have already received assistance from other programs.
To address this, his office collaborates with the local Social Agency to verify the data of proposed student recipients.
"We conduct verification through the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) to ensure whether they have received assistance, including from the Indonesia Smart Program," he explained.
The Blora Smart Card Program demonstrates the Blora Regency Government's commitment to providing special attention to underprivileged children and ensuring they receive a decent education.
"With this program, we aim to ensure that no child is left behind in accessing equal education opportunities," Sunaryo added.
