Minister of Basic and Secondary Education, Abdoul Musi announced an important change in the New Student Admission System (PPDB). This system will now be replaced with a new name, namely the New Student Admission System (SPMB). This change is not only limited to the name, but also involves an update in how to calculate the percentage of each acceptance path.
Mu’ti explained that this change aims to further facilitate the process of student acceptance, by introducing four pathways of acceptance that will be used at all levels of education, namely the pathway of domicile, achievement, affirmation, and mutation. Although this new system will be implemented at the junior and senior high school levels, for elementary level there is no significant change.
“This change includes new things, including how to calculate the percentage of acceptance, which we will attach in this latest policy,” Mu’ti said at the event at Mövenpick Hotel Jakarta City Center, Jakarta, Thursday (1/30/2025).
For the elementary level, the SPMB system sets a fairly clear provision, which is a minimum of 70 percent quota received through the domicile path, a minimum of 15 percent through the affirmation path, and a maximum of 5 percent for the mutation path. The achievement path is no longer available at the elementary level.
Unlike that, for junior high school levels, some significant changes are seen. The domicile quota which was previously at least 50 percent has now been reduced to 40 percent, while the affirmation route rose to a minimum of 20 percent. The mutation pathway remains limited to a maximum of 5 percent, and the most striking is the presence of the achievement path set at least 25 percent, in contrast to the previous quota.
At the high school level, Mu’ti added that the concept of “rayonization” will be expanded using the provincial base, considering that several schools are in the inter -provincial border region. This is expected to facilitate access and equal distribution of opportunities for students in all regions.
No less important, the SPMB system will also introduce transparency related to data and capacity of public schools. With clearer information about the capacity of schools, the community can more easily assess their opportunities to be accepted. In addition, information about private school accreditation rankings will also be conveyed to the public.
“With this information, the public will have more choices and can choose the right school, including private schools in various regions,” Mu’ti added.
Through these steps, it is hoped that the new student admission system will become more transparent, accountable, and provide a more fair opportunity for all prospective students throughout Indonesia.
